WONT START!! and I need it

[blackvelvet]

Hey fellas, I am in ND right now at work and my pickup has been sitting for 6 days, tempatures have dropped around -30 to -50

the story....yesterday i figured since its been sitting for a while i should start it and let it run for a bit bein its been so cold and it fired right up (been plugged in) i ran it for about 45 min and shut it down----today i fired it up came back 15 min later and it wasnt running and WOULD NOT START, it cranks fine but wont start......there is a warning light on the dash in the shape of a wrench and in the manual it says powertrain malfunction/reduced power/electronic throttle control (RTT)

Im supposed to leave in the morning but i cant get the son of a b*tch to start HELP PLEASE!!

i went back and reread the thread , you are saying it only didnt start after it had sat , i had understod it to say , it ran for 45 minutes and then didnt restart , sorry if i rear wrong

no you read it right the first time, yesterday i ran it for 45 min with no problems, and today i fired it up it seemed to be running fine and then i went inside for 15 min came back out and it was off

dont think fuel is gelled up, have fuel conditioner in it

ya its still plugged in, no check engine light but a wrench will come up and then the engine oil light

The wrench is the Check Engine Light.......

with a 6.4 its almost impossible to diag anything without a scanner , im afraid you have high pressure fuel pump issue , dpf sensor problem or high pressure fuel pump wiring or sensor on pump , like i say it could be so many things , where are you in ND, how close are you to a dealer



and by the way , im glad to see somebody from out that way on the site ,dont see many , im familiar with that area , i just got back from hunting in the ekilaka area , and camp crook south dakota , came thru billings back in july on our way to redlodge to the bike rally out there , dont pass to many newer trucks when im out there , just mostly old reallky dirty ones

the 6.4 has both a green wrench light and also a engine symbol for the check engine light , the wrench light usually means its in failure mode
