Default Powertroke wont start

hi everyone. I have a 1995 f250 7.3 powerstroke. I blew an high pressure oil line at high rpms, replaced it, ran the **** out of the truck 'til all the air was out of the hpop. I washed the oil from under the hood, cause it was a big mess, then I parked it. the next morning I started it up and ran as it should, I got a mile down the road and it lost all power and after a couple seconds died. I tried to start it but all I could get from it was a little pop every few second of cranking. later that night I cranked on it for a while and got it to fire but it was running on probably 2 cylinders and if I tried to rev it would die. today I hooked a scanner to it and it said the icp sensor was low of voltage or something in that neighborhood. but I unplugged the icp and it still wouldn't run. also it said that the sgc singal was bad and the kam internal control module error. I need hel. this trucks been sitting since october and I need it. thank you for your time and help.

Fuel pressure? High pressure oil pressure? Smoke while cranking?

Okay so there is fuel to the clyinders. Will it start if you plug in the block heater for a couple hours?

I'll try that tomorrow. And how do I figure out if fuel is getting to the cylinders?

We all have those monents. Could be low injection pressure maybe. Fuel could not be getting injected as a mist causing it not to ignite. Just a thought. Try the heater first.
