power stroke prob...help

I have a 96 f 350, just died on me, had to tow into my shop, thought it might be fuel, changed filter would not fire, tested plug in on injecter, nothing there. where should I look next? checked fuses and relays all good, could there be another relay I have not noticed? could the cps cause it to shut down? any help would be great

A good test for a suspected CPS is to look at the tach as your cranking on it. If it isn't moving.......then the CPS is probably the culprit. Hope this helps.

If maxi-fuse #22 in the engine compartment jct. box is good it probably is the cam sensor. If that fuse is blown the fuel heater is burned out and shorted power to the PCM.
