Hi guys this is very frustrating. checked the voltage while cranking and it dropped to 13 volts. disconnecting the tree wire sensor did nothing.

I have no fog from the exhaust while cranking so to me that means that the injectors are not fireing right?

If it only dropped to 13 volts then maybe your starter is bad. How long have you had the truck and have you replaced the starter?

Correct. You need high pressure oil, fuel pressure and RPM.

You would need a scanner to check it. It should be 500 - 600 PSI on start up. Disconnecting the ICP it would default to 750 PSI.

Can't tell you how many times on here the starter was the issue and how surprised the owner was when the put a new starter in and how fast the truck turned over. I'm not saying that is your problem but WAG, with that many miles and starter never replace I would look into it.

Nope, PCM will not even try to fire the injectors until at least 100 RPM. I'm not trying to spend you money but I've never heard of a starter lasting 270K miles either.
