Cam sensor?
Please help pretty much at a loss. I have a 95 f-350 7.3 turbo. I have done some thread searching and think i might be close? Truck was running great down the expressway when i was exiting onto off ramp i pushed in the clutch and truck died instantly.
I checked the fuel bowl and no fuel, changed fuel pump now i am getting fuel into bowl with 55lbs pressure, when i crank over engine tach only jumps to around 100 and falls.
All fuses are good
Unpluged bowl heater
Hpop is full
Cleaned fuel regulator
Batteries full
Should the tach read more when cranking? ( crank sensor?) I did spray a little ethore one time and it did start then died again
Any help would be greatly appeciated. Great site

I don'tthink it is your cam sensor......could it be if/when the fuel pump went out you "ran it dry"? If so I believe you need to keep cranking. Someone else will point you in to some directions.

Sorry creteman79. The IDM is the last thing I can think of. Just unbolt it and and shake it around. If you can get the truck scanned somehow, that will really open the window on what the problem is. If you hear water splashing around it is bad. IF it is bad....you can pick one up from for for a mere 9hundred dollars or so! OR, you can go to the junk yard and pull one for 30-50 bucks! (just make sure when you pull it you shake it and listen for water)
