88 7.3l no start
Hi, I'am new to the diesel world and just bought a '88 f-250 with the 7.3l I was woundering if anyone can help me? The truck was running great and would start right up, it sat over night and now it will not start, it cranks over fine but it will not fire, I tested the glow plugs and they all tested fine, the batteries are good,the fuel pressure is good, where should i check from here. Thank you

The in jection pump is located in the valley on the back of the front cover. It will ne the thing with all the lines going to the injectors coming off it. There will be 3 wires conected too it. with the engine cold and the key on check for power at each wire. Can't remeber wich is wich. Dave S. should be along shortly and I think he has a picture of the pump and the wires.

Chris S,
Welcome to FTE and the IDI forum.
This one?
With a cold engine there should be power on all three wires when the key is ON.
With a warm engine, over 117 degrees, there should only be power on the fuel shut off solenoid when the key is ON.
