2000 Ford F-450 Repair Question
7.3 power stroke diesel turns over but won't start
Answer
how did you check for fuel??
could be a high pressure pump ilure as it needs a very high pressure to start. i would not replace anything more on guesses. get a shop with a scan tool to monitor the pump and other readings.
Roy
He checked with a line on top of the engine when turned over fuel was coming out fine.Ok u said high pressure pump line? And will it show codes even if it won't start?I mean doesn't it need to be running to run a scan tool on it?
no, wont always code. if he cracked the line, the pressure to the injectors is about 580 lbs. that would be a significiant spray all over the place.
Roy
Ok so it should spray all over then? And it won't if the line is cracked? And where is this line? Is there a website u know of i can get a diagram to show me where it is?
the high pressure pump is in the intake valley in the back of the motor. if it is bad, you need a special gauge to verify as it is very expensive repair. cannot guess here, it has to be checked by someone with the orrect equipment.
