Help...I just pulled out of my driveway and the truck just died...now the OD OFF light is on on the shift lever and the Wait to Start light is very dim and it cranks over fine but wont start

pull codes from you computer, your CPS might be bad.
check batteries
check cable connections to batteries/alternator. (computer may not be getting power)

I replaced that about 3 yrs ago and when that happened I could at least get it started but not this time.

[sldghamr]

it could still be bad. check any way.

[hunter91355]

could you tell me where to look for the CPS???

[sldghamr]

it's somewhere on the front of the engine.

Does the tach move? What condition is the oil in? Try to chck the fuel pressure also. My first guess, if the tach does move, is low voltage. The IDM need at least 10V to fire while cranking.

Look at the front of the engine passenger side , roughly the 10' o'clock position behind the vibration dampner. You need a 10 mm 6 point socket (3/8 drive), that sucker is in there. You will need to gently pry it out after removine the fastner. oil the O" ring and work in hte new one.... Have funnn Bill
