MY F250 POWER STROKE QUIT RUNNING IT WONT START ON ETHER I CHANGED THE FUEL FILTER
The 7.3 power stroke is not tha bad sheesh its actually pretty simple ok let me ask some questions here ok lets start simple when cranking does the needle on the tach move to approx. 5-600 ? if not more than likely its a cam sensor in which case there is actually a recall from ford they will fix it free.... yes I said free :) if not my second guess would be the Idm they were notorious for getting moisture in them btw IDM stands for injector driver module and you can find a good reman unit online for 200 "use google" if you have a friend with a high end scanner hook up and watch engine rpm there and also do a "buzz test" no buzz = idm fail another easy thing to do is open the drain on the fuel filter bowl and turn the key on and crank for 1 sec is there fuel shooting out ? if there isnt check fuel pump well that about covers it good luck please let us know whats up :)
If it just quit runnung while driving. I would suspect the CAM SENSOR died. It is a fairly inexpensive part, obtainable at you ford dealer. I would NOT use starting fluid on a powerstroke diesel, serious damage can occur> I actually witnessed a air cleaner box blown off the vehocle while doing that. He was lucky that's all it did. If you replace the cam sensor and it still will not start, have it towed to a diesel mechanic, this is a compex system that takes the right electronic equipment to test all the systems.
