Is the tach jumping when cranking engine?

Oh man that sucks. Sounds like a cam sensor

[03_Turbo7.3]

on my way to ford, they agreed to release the sensor to me, god im pissed! lol

[matter]

if it is the cps, stop cranking your engine, you'll overheat your starter, kill your batteries, i can't remeber excatly why, but you have to clear that code before your pcm will allow you to start

OK, replaced with new sensor, still no start, so i started my usally saying KISS ( Keep It Simple Stupid ) laugh all you want works awsome!, started at fuse's, power to everything no issues there, none are blown, hooked up booster cables from another truck, just so batteries wouldnt die, turned engine over again no start, removed fuel bowl and inspected ok, drained fuel bowl, went back to engine and cranked over a few more times, and again, inspected fuel bowl again and lots of fuel came out, so my pumps are ok, talked to a few ford guys and read up on Online Automotive Diagnostic & Repair Information for the Professional Automotive Technician and found code 1211 diag sheets, started reading through them and found ICP sensor if malfunction occurs engine will seize to operate and or start, need to bring home my ohm meter and test lights and start plugging away i guess, may have to replace an ICP sensor i was told, oil level is good, HPOP is leaking, i ahve the orings to fix it may have to do it this weekend, oil all over the back of engine..

ANY INPUT WOULD BE AWSOME!! thanks

I may be wrong but I heard it wont start if the ICP comes unplugged. The clip on my last PSD's ICP harness was broken and it would work it self loss once in a while!

Was it plugged in, being in Alberta I am sure it is as cold there as it is here in Michigan. Just a thought, but I would plug it in for a 3 hours minimum then try to fire up the truck. If it starts up then you have a cold start issue. Maybe glowplugs maybe glow plug relay.

Is it trying to fire up at all or is it just cranking away.

how much oil is all over the back of the engine? Check the hpop fittings and backing plate, IPR might be bad, just a few ideas

[03_Turbo7.3]

theres over a liter of oil i bet sprayed around, i have the HPOP orings to replace all 3 the full TSB kit, the valley has lots of fresh oil in it and its all over the back of the engine and all over the tranny, most oil ive seen yet, does the line feeds for the turbo leak often? if so how hard are they to change ill do them at the same time, talked with a 7.3 mechanic went over a bunch of stuff, if i cant get it to work he said he would, i want to figure this out on my own i need the experiance it will make me stronger at what i do haha may sound dumb but i love this stuff, thank god work lent me a vehicle i have it till i get my truck fixed, so saturday i start ripping and tearing, any special tools ill need? im bringing home most my tools from work, here comes engine rip apart take 1
