2001 7.3 will not start - does turn over.

Came home after work no problem. Tried to leave in the A.M. just cranked over. I checked the fuel filter, its full. the electric fuel pump reset was not popped, I swapped all the relays still no ignition. All The lights seem bright so I figured the batteries are good. Any suggestions?

From everything I have read on here, sure sounds like a CMP sensor. Have you tried that?

What year is your truck? How old are the Battery's? It takes allot of power to crank up a PSD. It could be your battery's.

Check your oil. If it gets too low, the engine won't start. Probably not the problem but at least worth a try.

CPS is the thingy that is part of the timing indicator on the front of the engine down by the vibration damper. It has the pointer attached to it. Go to Intl dealer for the part and dont tell em its for a ford. Just get the part using the number on the part. You can change it yourself with 10mm socket and short extension on a 3/8 drive ratchet. Wiggle, wiggle - it comes out.

Changed Cam sensor. Did not work. Checked batteries again and found one of them showing 11.5 volts. It is Amazing that the motor cranked normally all day and the meter showed one of the batteries only a little low. Replaced that battery and it started. Thanks for ya'lls help!
