dies and will not start
I have a friend that has a 96 ish ford PSD with 62 k miles on it. when the truck gets hot it sometimes dies and will not start. he has to wait for it to cool down to start it. He just spent 3k getting it fixed because the wires or something fried and took out every sensor that the engine had. what is the problem now?

it was not on fire it just shorted out a few things. They said it had something to do with the way the centron package was hooked up. I don't knwo much about it. All I know is it was fixed and ran fine for two years and now it dies and the only way to get it to start is with ether after it gets hot. I would at least want a guess as to where to start. This is a powerstroke forum right?

If the sensors have all been replaced, I will assume the CPS was replaced too in which case I'd start with the high pressure oil system. You should have about 400 PSI cranking to get you going. It sounds to me like you've got an injector (or IPR) that is bleeding (the thinner the oil gets the harder it is to get enough pressure to get you going at cranking RPM's).

I had the a similar thing happen to mine. The culprit was the injector pressure regulator "O" rings. The IPR is on the back of the high pressure oil pump reservoir and the smaller "O" ring inside sometimes fails. This will make a warm start impossible. The truck will start fine when cold, will run OK but if shut down will not start until the engine cools a bit (30 minutes - an hour or so depending on how hot the engine was and outside temperature). The repair is not difficult for someone who is not mechanically challenged. I got my parts from Navistar/International in Cincinnati.
I will follow this post and can link you to instructions for the repair if you want them. Or you can email me at dpharis@eos.net

Starting it with ether is asking for trouble!
