I just finished breathing life into an F250 that had sat for four years. It ran when it was parked. I reaplaced the old tank and fuel pump. Cleaned the fuel divertor valve and replaced the in-line filter. I cleaned all the old gas out of the lines and it cranked right off. I drove it about a mile, emptied the contents of the bed and I was driving out of the driveway, it sputtered out and died. I put about a gallon of fresh gas in the tank before driving it.

Now I have a no-start condition. I checked fuel pressure at the fuel rail (roughly 50psi). Checked for spark; adaquite spark. A friend suggested either. It ran for a couple seconds, sputtered and died.

So, here's what I know, it should run, but the fuel isn't getting past the injectors into the cylinders.

Any thoughts?

Hook up a noid light to the injector wiring connector if its flashing check the injector/s. Not pulsing could be no power or the a problem with the injector/s ground drivers or the camshaft sensor input signals to computer.

Hooked up a test light to ground of battery and tried starting vehicle. Light should have pulsed on black wire of harness. It did not.

Good ground to ecm. Good ground from icm. The computer is simply not triggering the injectors.
