Yes it will ,the PCM controls fuel,by using starting fluid you are bypassing that issue

You can scan it for codes if you have or know anyone with a compatable scanner.Most scanners parts stores have won't scan trucks with diesel engines

You could post this in the 7.3 forum 1999 - 2003 7.3L Power Stroke Diesel - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums
Maybe someone there will have more ideas,

Did you check all fuses there are several that pertain to the PCM both under dash and under hood
You could take the PCM apart and check for burn marks
Always remove keys from ignition before pulling the PCM
