I have a 2000 f350 7.3 Powerstroke I put a new lpop in hpop is good put all new injector cup sleeves turned motor over by hand to insure no hydra lock then tried starting it ran for 2 seconds died an will not start cranks but will not fire up any advice would be appreciated I know it’s making oil pressure gauge is working good
There's probably still a lot of air in the fuel and oil lines/galleries. It will take some time for that to get worked out. Pull codes to be sure nothing else is going on.
Did you use Ford or Melling pump? What directions did you follow?
Does LPO pressure gauge on dash come up while cranking?
Do SES and WTS lights come on and go off when you turn key on?
Check fuel pump by putting A piece of 5/16” hose on the water drain line discharge point - kind of beside the water pump on the passenger side of the block. Make the hose long enough to reach a jug or bucket on the floor. Open valve and drain the filter. With the valve still open turn the key on and then observe the flow from the pump. You should get a steady stream of fuel with no air and it should pump about a quart before the pump times out after about 30 seconds.
Yes it’s full I’ve cranked an cranked still nothing I’m gonna let it sit a few days an try again I gues I know fuel is in the filter I know hpop is full of oil I’m guessing some left over leaked down into piston heads or either she is completely dry am gonna take a bit to fill her back up hopefully I reinstalled everything correctly I put it back just the way it was torqued the bolts to spec who knows I only paid 1500$ for the truck annive got maybe 400$ into working on it not to bad
