Not Getting Fuel!

Over the last day I've been losing power. At first just in the upper rpm's. This morning it just died and won't even start. I replaced the fuel filter and cleaned the screen on the side of the housing. No codes are set. I'm assuming fuel pump. Any other suggestions? What should fuel pressure be while cranking?

I've heard you need to remove the turbo to replace the pump ('96 F250). Is that true. It almost looks like I shouldn't have to.

Is the fuel pump a common problem?

Any help is appreciated - Thanks

How much pressure are you getting while cranking? Im not exactly sure what it should be but I will run outside and check mine for you. Does the fuel bowl fill up when you turn the key? You can check that by draining the water seperator before you try cranking it again.

Also, take a look at the tack while you're cranking it and see if it moves at at all. Could be your cam sensor. But the cam sensor should throw a code...?

The pump costs less than 200 bucks and looks fairly easy to do. Part of the turbo does need to come out to get to the pump, the y pipe and the hoses.

I replaced the pump and got her running again. Problem now is that I've got a leak at the banjo bolt. PITA

Thanks for your help
