Won't Start??
Ok guys, 96 f250 7.3.

Here in Montana weather is cold. I went the other morning and started up my truck to let it warm up. Went out a bit later and it wasn't running. Figured something with fuel, I have 911 in it so I don't think that is it. i even took out the fuel filter and put more 911 in it and still no start, What do you think it is. Been plugged in.

I did change out the solenoid about 8 years ago or so with the better one.

What solenoid? It could be a number of things, like low or old oil, sticking IPR, fuel pressure getting weak, etc.

If it was on the dipstick then that shouldn't be a problem. They have to be five or more quarts low before causing problems.

Goopy enough to jump back in time and resolve a 16-month-old no-start issue?....

^^^^^ One of those.... er.... smart phones, right?

This is why I use a truck to move things, a camera to take photos, a computer to use the Internet, and a phone to TALK.
