Please help
My 1995 7.3 was running fine. At lunch today it was hard starting, after work it barley started, after I got home and shut it down all it will do is turn over, wont start. Please help. Thanks.

Filters is the first place to start in a situation like this. Also, check the level in your hpop. You might be having some draining issues there.
yoslick hit it on the nail too with the batteries. They have be in good condition otherwise your wasting your time.

OK, I just went out in the dark. She'll start but you really have to turn the starter while pumping the accelerator. Once started she runs fine. Oil level on the dip stick is good. I flashed the stock program from the Edge and all was same so I put it back to extreme where I've ran it for the last 3 yeras. I forgot what a dog it was stock. I'll check the fuel filter tomorrow.

It's the yellow valve on the fuel canister, turn it 90* toward the passenger fender.

I don't think pumping the acelerator while cranking helps any.
Try changing fuel filter and drain fuel bowl while the filter is out. Then get a q-tip and remove the cotton from one side. Use it to clean the small screen in the filter bowl. It is on the drivers side in a hole about 3?4" down from the top on the inside.
