97 psd ...cranks..wont start

[Patrick Feeley]

Are you getting a rapid clicking sound from any of the relays (especially the IDM relay) in the underhood fuse box when trying to start? If so check each battery independently (you may a have blown one). Cheers!

Sounds normal while cranking.....oh and changed cam sensor....for sh@#s and giggles......no change
Should get an IDM???..I'm out of ideas

Check the two wires going to your IPR.Take out your IDM and shake it to see if it has water in it.If you know someone with a 7.3 PSD try their IDM before you buy one.

has fuel pressure

How much pressure?

 

[smpleman68]

Fuel pressure...almost 70 psi at filter housing.
IPR wires look good, connection at IDM clean, also no signs of water.

What keeps bugging me is dim and brief view of WTS light and if I remember right...if u turn the key switch to on, isnt the CEL supposed to stay on until the engine is running?....THANKS!

 

[smpleman68]

FYI.....changed PCM...fired right up.....
