Does the WTS "wait to start" light come on when turning the key?

Let us know more about your truck. Any mod, chip, tuner, etc?
How old is your oil, and is the level right?
The starter is working fine?

BTW welcome to the forum.

Check the connections going into the Valve Covers.

There is no Injection pump on Powerstrokes.
They have a HEUI (Hydraulic Electric Unit Injection) system.
Engine oil pushes a piston that forces the fuel into the cylinder at 2600 psi.
The fuel pump under the turbo pumps up fuel from the tank into the bowl then back to the other side of the pump then to the injectors at around 60 psi at idle.
If you checked the fuel pressure via the schrader valve on the Fuel Pressure Regulator (FPR), it only needs to be 25 psi for the truck to start.

Nice!

Make sure the plug on the passenger side of the fuel bowl is still plugged in. The valve that controls the oil pressure to the injectors is controled electronically through that plug.
