Car Forum / Ford / Ford Trucks / December 2007Diesel quit
Hi All, Been a whiile since I've been here: 1999 7.3 diesel. Pulled into parking lot last night and truck quit running. Turned the key off, and tried to start it and noticed the "wait to start" light did NOT come on. Only had drived truck about 8 blocks and 20 degs outside. Any relays or circuit breakers I can look for before I tow to a garage? Thanks, > Hi All, > Been a whiile since I've been here: 1999 7.3 diesel.

I ended up scraping the terminals with a knife. Be careful! This could be an explosive situation! Short Nothing! Harry Truck turns over just fine, acts like its not getting fuel. Checking all power center fuses and breakers right now. Thanks, >> Hi All, >> Been a whiile since I've been here: 1999 7.3 diesel.

Do you get movement on the tach when cranking the engine? If not, could be the CPS ( cam position sensor ) I will check both these out. My "wait to start" light does NOT come on anymore, but I didn't look at Tach or oil. >> I meant to say: "will cause the high pressure fuel pump to shut down". >>> Do you get movement on the tach when cranking the engine?
