2003 6.0 POS HELP!
I drove my truck home friday no problem parked it. Went back to start it 45 min later engine turns over and it acts like it wants to start sometimes but nothing. I checked the fuel pump it is pumping fuel to the filter located on top of the engine but i dont know where to go from here..

How about telling us a little more about it like what year, how many miles, any modifications etc...

Thanks for replying! The truck is completely stock. I have 236,000 miles on it. I already replaced the #5 injector and the FICM about 6 months ago. When i try to start it it turns over and acts like it wants to catch and go but nothing. When i first turn the key i can hear the fuel pump run and i also hear a humming sound come from the back of the motor close to the fire wall. The sound seems normal but it stays on for about 60 seconds before turning off. I also had black smoke creeping out of the tailpipe.

what oil do you use?
what oil filters do you use?
what modifications?
the sound at the firewall is most likely the vacuum pump.

A friend of mine changed his fuel filters once and had turned the key over before filling the top one back up with fuel and had gotten air in the line...maybe that's what it is. All I can think of would be air in the line.

No start...CMP Sensor?
Hey,
I had a similar issue last week...truck went through Key On sequence BUT mine only tried to fire once then abruptly shut down before starting.
I went through the no start trouble shoot list.
DTC P2614 Camshaft Position Signal Output Circuit/Open
Sensor replaced for $52 + 2 hours labour/diagnostic and another item I asked the dealer to check out.
+the tow to the shop
