Ran Rough, Shifted hard, loss of power, now wont start
I was out messing around in the water/ mud the other day with some friends and Out of no where my truck started to idle like it was running on half its cylinders and I had no power it felt like. Maybe felt like it was not getting fuel. drove it home ran like *** had my foot to the floor the whole time and had to let off the pedal for it to shift.. I got it home turned it off and now wont start back up just cranks over but wont fire up. ALSO THERES NO SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE EXHAUST Please help.
Its a 00 7.3 auto trans 170k miles bone stock Ive been reading on the forums a lot the past few days just reading on what I can do and learning some of the code names you have for things like cps and blahh blahh blahh.. Ive took off drivers side valve cover to look at the UVCH and that seems to be fine I still have not got to the passengers side as of yet, Ive looked at the oil and thats fine good level and clean, took off fuel filter and its not bad some junk at bottom of bowl, fuel pump is working fine fills bowl right up no problems, HPOP is good has oil to right about 1/2 inch to the top, fuses are all good looked at them about 3 times over, Relays seem to be good I even switched them around, batteries are like 4 months old, and I might be forgetting a few things. It seems like a lot of people have this problem with there 7.3's Please Help Me Out I want to drive the truck and Cant because of something dumb I bet thanks |
