1995 Ford 7.3 450 won't start

Motor stumbled and died on highway today, will not start now. Put a new cam sensor and new oil pressure sensor, no luck, had it towed home. Installed a new fuel pump still no luck.

All thoughts welcomed. Thank You, David

Take a look here. Hopefully that will help you diagnose the problem.

I'm thinking IPR, but that's just a WAG based on what you've done already.

I replaced the IPR tonight. No Luck.
It will start after cranking a while and then shut down after a couple seconds.
A friend of mine is going to try to find a PCM to borrow to see if that is the issue. That is what I am leaning towards at this point.
I will take a look at the link you posted.

Back to the fuel tank, sounds like bad injector o-rings.

Fill it up with oil and see what happens (watch the level). Capacity should be closer to 15 quarts, not 13. Wonder if it never got full in the first place. Possible you filled it up without starting the engine so it would fill the filter?

remove fuel filter and see if it is dark in color


If it is then you need injector orings for under 80 shipped from Riffraff
