New Member, Having Problems.

Good Morning ,guys. Want to pick your brains. Went to start my '01 F-350, 7.3l this AM, and all she does is crank over and does'nt fire. Had her plugged in all night. Not bad over night here in Syracuse, NY temp. wise. But just do plug it in for easier AM starts. My guess is the glow plug relay. What do you think?

Yeps, do it for about 30 seconds if you don't mind a warm screwdriver. That way there's no doubt when you get in to fire her up. Be sure to only touch the two large posts (and it WILL get sparky for a second).

Hey Chapguy, Thanks for your info, but I'm having no luck firing up. Have tried twice and the same thing, it just sits there cranking. I did fire it up yesterday, stayed running for about 2 mins. then died. Got it re-started, but ran very pour, allmost like not running on all 8. Would not stay running without my foot on the gas. Could I have a fuel problem?

No smoke usually means no fuel.
How's your battery voltage/condition?
The injectors are electrical. If you have less than about 9 volts, the injectors won't fire.

Have you checked the oil level lately? Is the HPOP full? Whens the last time you changed the oil?
