do you gae WTS light when you turn the key on?
if not you have bad Fuel Heater Bowl Fuse, unplug the heater bowl before you replace fuse, it will be 30A fuse IIRC, its #30 on 2001 and lower trucks, 2002 i think its #119
check it out and let us know
BTW welcome to the forum

Wait to start, the light that comes on when you turn the key on and wait till it goes out so you can start the truck... its for glow plugs.
and fuel bowl its on the top of the motor under the powerstroke plastic cover. it has round cover, if you look on the back of it it has yellow handle, next to it you should see a plug. thats the plug for fuel heating bowl
let me know if you need more info...

Welcome to FTE.
Where did you get your last CPS? The ones from the auto parts stores have been known to fail frequently. You should stick with the Ford brand.
I'd also check to make sure you have fuel in the filter bowl, and your engine is topped off with oil.

Glad to hear it was that simple. Did you get the replacement CPS from Ford? If so, you might consider just throwing it in the glove box to keep as a spare. These new ones haven't been out long enough for us to know if they will fail as often as the older parts. The part should have cost you under $30, so think of it as cheap insurance.
Also double check to make sure the plug is snapped in place and the little plastic ear hasn't snapped off. You don't want this to happen again.
