01' Powerstroke won't start

My 01' powerstroke will crank over and start to run but dies. i'm thinking it might be the lift pump but i'm not sure. Any help would be great.

Hello and Welcome to FTE. It sounds like the CPS went out on you. But dont worry they are easy to fix but right now there is a recall on it. Take it to your ford delarship and in no time you should have a running truck

Make sure you have fuel in the filter housing.. remove the cap and the fuel should be near the top.. Also, check oil level.. too low and it won't run.. It would be great if you read the fault codes too..

I removed the fuel filter housing first thing and it was full, there is no check engine light. is the CPS expensive and or hard to replace?

You should be able to purchase a new designed CPS from Ford, P/N F7TZ-12K073-B for around $25.. (If you truck runs at all, just make a appointment to have Ford change it under the recall..no charge)
