No Start Powerstroke

[smoking350]

Hi I have a 01 F350 with a 7.3 with 9000 miles. Drove the truck on Friday and it worked fine, went to start it on Sunday and it wouldn't start. The truck will rollover but will not start.First thing that I noticed was the wait to start light didn't come on, and the tach didn't move when the truck was rolling over.Checked the main fuses under the hood and all of them are fine.Relaced the cam sensor, that didn't change a thing.Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks

Had the same problem with my 99 7.3. The problem on mine was that on the driver side head there is a sensor with three wires going into it. Over time the insulation had detereiated away and the bare wires were touching. I just pulled them apart so the wires would not be touching and the truck started right up. Give that a try and let me know what happened.

Sounds to me like the CPS (cam position sensor) is toast.

No wait to start light?
pull the heater wire off the fuel bowl..
replace the #30 fuse in the under-dash PDC and see what happens then

I'll ditto that.

I don't think a bad CPS most likely will prevent the WTS light from coming on.

where is the cam sensor?

Front of the engine, located at about 10 o'clock above the crank shaft.
