remove your chip, see if it starts. If it does then the problem is your chip. If it doesn't try and hook a scan tool to it. If it does not connect, your pcm maybe bad.

have you checked your IDM?

ok the tw chip i had in there made the truck not start awhile back so i took it out and put the bullydog back in and it started so takeing the chip out was the first thing i did no difference. i did hook a scaner to it and it said error but i thought if the pcm was bad the dashlights would act differnt.and the idm and pcm was my next thought can i pull them out and take them to ford to be tested?

but will ford test my computers if i take them to a dealer?

well damn if i did that i would just let them fix it. if the scan tool said err and the dash lights were acting normal could it still be the pcm or idm and how would i know which one?

where are you located? if someone is near you take you idm and pcm to them and see if their truck will start with your idm or pcm inplace of theirs :thumb: cheaper than the dealer

if the scaner says err everytime is it forsure the pcm or could it be the idm?
