(ipr shouldnt cause a..no start anyway)....yes it will.
also, not having power on output lug of gpr means either, the pcm senses that your motor is already warm or the pcm ground signal to the gpr went south. Mine did. Now i have a ground switch controlling that gpr

Where are you located? There's probably a fellow FTEr nearby with the equipment needed.

ya when I first changed gpr the output lug was giving power, but I checked it again after and it wasn’t. Truck is inside garage and was cranking for a while so not sure what temp it would shut down at or if could be the pcm? It seems like I have the click on the key turn (as per video) but I guess doesn’t guarantee pcm is working
As I continue to trouble shoot, my first question is why did I go from two codes (p1000 and 0381) with my old GPR to multiple with the new GPR? (Maybe just because new one was working properly and opened the circuit to show the other codes?)
a detailed reader during attempted start up would be helpful

Harder to work on 7.3’s up here because of the prices here and time to get parts sent up. Ford dealer here wanted $125 per fuel line fitting and after market parts don’t stock parts like diesel orings, riffraff, etc south of the border.

I'm no guru by any means, but reading through here I wanted to spitball an idea since you worked on the fuel bowl. I can't tell if you're saying it's trying to fire off or not, so is there any chance that the fuel bowl heater has shorted out and blown the fuse?

It’s cranking but not catching. And no sign of it catching. I think as per above it’s fuse 30 so I will check it but it would show signs of starting I assume
