HELP IT WILL NOT START

2000 ford Excursion 6.8 v10 209K miles
So to make a long story short I went out to start it one day and it wouldn't start. I tested everything and it's not getting fuel for some reason so I did the normal investigation started from the fuel pump and Basically replaced the entire fuel system. fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel pressure regulator, fuel pump relay, and fuel pump fuse all replaced. I checked the inertia switch as well. Basically I figured out that the PCM is not sending signal to the relay. Once I jumped the relay the pump came on so I tried to start it with the relay jumped for diagnostic purposes. It still would not start. I then tested the injectors and none of them are firing so do you think the PCM is bad or is there something else I need to check because there is nothing else I can think of.

What is the status of the PATS or anti-theft indicator when attempting to start? If PATS fails, the injectors are automatically disabled.

What should the PATS status look like? My truck died and will not restart and wonder if this is something I need to dig into.

Could be the PCM diode (if you have one) take a look at my reply on this thread https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...k-no-fuel.html

Good luck

See my response to your response... FWIW, I've never seen a PCM diode itself fail in over 30 years of diagnosing these things.

Watch the PATS status indicator and report its behavior when trying to start the engine.
