Was driving when it just shut off like someone just turned the key off. Died right in front of NAPAwould crank but no start the tach doesn't move when cranking or oil pressure gauge went inside to buy new cps installed still nothing. I noticed fuel pump and glow plugs not turning on. Put a code reader on it no codes any help will be much apperiated thanks

Most likely your cam position sensor

Have you checked the fuse to your PCM to see if it's getting power?

[NoRalPh]

You should always post the year of your truck (some will show cranking on the tach, some won't...)


WTS Light? - do you get it when you first roll-on the key?

Fuel - pump runs? Fuel refilling filter housing? Tank below 1/4?

Is your truck "chipped"? If so, remove it as a Test.

Truck is a 2002 its not chipped fuel pump is not running and fuel bowl is not getting fuel glow plug light comes on and stays on for about 8 seconds all other lights on dash come on and go right off

Checked all fuses all were good

Under the "kick panel" of the passenger side there is what's called an "Inertia Sw", it kills power to the pump in the even of an accident. I would check that first (the plug sometimes falls off)

Next, you might need a pump if it's really not running (it only runs for like 15seconds after you roll-on the key so, check quickly by putting your hand on it). If you have one, try pulling the rubber off the power lead and connecting it to a Jumper Pak to supply 12v directly to it. If it doesn't run then you probably need one. If it does, go over the fuses again, in an '02 the relay that controls that is in the fusebox itself and considered Non-Serviceable Otherwise it's controlled by the PCM, via that Inertia Sw.

thanks for the help fuel heater shorted out and cause fuse to blow replaced fuse to pcm and unpluged fuel heater runs great now all help was greatly appertiated

[NoRalPh]

Well, then, "glow plug light comes on and stays on for about 8 seconds" doesn't happen with that fuse blown though....
