Alright here is the deal. I got a 2000 7.3l with 400,000 miles on it that decided to just not start anymore after I parked it for a couple days. Its always been a hard starter due to needing glow plugs but I can deal with that. it doesn't even try to fire anymore. I replaced the CPS (my tack bounces when cranking). The ICP has oil in the plug so I just unplugged it for now till I replace it. I pulled the IPR and cleaned it really good and bench tested it with 12 volts and could here it clicking so I put it back in. I can get under the drivers door with the key on and hear the fuel pump running. I gain oil pressure on my dash gauge when cranking. I check all my fuses. my WTS light comes on . I just don't have any fancy scan tools to make this easier. Does anyone have any ideas where to go next with this truck with out spending a ton of money? Also just cause I was feeling lucky I just went out and bought 2 new batteries for it yesterday so we are good there. I'm just hitting a dead end here. please help

 

Did you try plugging it in over night, then trying??

 

yea I tried that. left it plugged in for a couple days even. Its been an ongoing struggle.

 

Its tough without a scan tool. You cant see any of the important perameters. Theres a link on here some were to a map with every member with AE. If you find one in your area and there on that list they have agreed to let you use it and help you. Great list. I'm on there but in Canada. Sorry. lol

 

Do you have access to that link or list or should I go digging for it?

 

Any smoke while cranking?
Are you sure you reassembled the IPR correctly? Is that little needle in backwards?

 

Not really any smoke although I think I can smell burnt fuel a little after cranking for awhile. And I sure hope I assembled it right. If I remember right The little pin didn't look like it went in one specific direction.
