NO START!

[Chadahootchie]

Truck just wont start. Ive never had a problem with my truck until last Thursday when I was going to leave my buddies house and all the truck does is crank. All the fuses are good, so its not a fuel heater problem and I dont think its the cps because the tach works when it cranks. I used 2 different computer scanners and one said no codes and the other said error. The only thing I did do to the truck is put a tw chip on it 2 days before and it has never been a problem and its the first thing I removed to try to start it up. I dont think the pcm is fried because the wait to start light comes on still but is there any other way to test. Any help is appreciated because I have had no truck since Thursday night and now my truck is on my trailer it the backyard. I was wondering if it could be a the park safety switch but Im unsure were its at and how to check if its bad.

it sounds like glow plugs and or the relay, if that helps

does the truck spin over and just doesnt start , or it doesnt even spin

[Chadahootchie]

no it spins over fine I got the battery charger on it now cause it cranks a little weak. And i dont think its a glow plug problem cause it has always started fine and I can hear the relay working. Also I think its getting a little fuel cause it will spudder one in blue moon but am unsure why.

ok i dont think its a glow plug issue either, have you checked fuel pressure , if the wait to start light is coming on ,i dont think its the pcm, few and far between to have a bad computer ,even not spinning fast enough can cause a no start , so make sure batteries are charged good before trying again

Thanks for the fast response I will check the fuel pressure in morning, isnt suppose to be around 60 and if its low then I guess its a fuel pump problem.

on that model it should build to aound 45 to crank, being it is a manual pump it takes a few spins to build up, it does take a minimum of 45 to start , start there , if you have good fuel pressure , the wait to start light s coming on, the tach moves when spinning and the batteries are charged fully , you best get it scanned and see what codes if any are comng up, and always , donbt just buy parts on a whim, always diag first

i know about diagnose the problem had auto classes in high school im just new to the powerstroke and am unsure of what goes wrong on these motors. last truck was a 12v p pump cummins never had problem with fuel there and made lots smoke to bad I totaled

[SCUFFY828]

good deal, i see people all the time spend a grand throwing parts at something and then finally decide to get it looked at, just to find a 20.00 part would have fixed there problem f they would have had it checked to start with

I had a not start problem that was intermittent and it turned out to be batteries. Yeah the engine would spin over real good but no start.
