Yet another Crank no start

Hey y’all Long time browser first time poster coming at ya with another crank no start on my 97 f250 7.3.
Injectors arnt firing or atleast it’s not blowing smoke, but I’ve replaced the cps, dog bowl refills itself when drained, all fuses are golden, gpr is new, hpop is good on oil, ipr “tin nut” is intact. It does blow fuse #22 so I just unplugged the entirety of the fuel bowl, It’s also not throwing a single code for anything I’m just at a loss for words and hope someone here can shed some insight on what I’m missing here

Unplug the fuel bowl heater,, leave the others connected. See if that works. Also check all your valve cover gasket plugs ,, make sure they are not burnt.

Another option is to look into your IDM. Anyone local that you can test your IDM in their truck?

I second what Jarrett Campbell say's, because I had what sounds like the exact same symptoms, picked up an IDM from the local salvage yard. Installed the unit and the truck started to push white smoke and fired up almost immediately. It runs even better after after putting 60 miles on her and working the air bubbles out of the fuel system.
