injector pumps usually fail at around 100,000 miles in 7.3

If your not reading any RPMS then your computer wont be able to tell you truck is running at then750 rpm to start the injectors. you can try replacing your crank sensor located underneath the truck in the front left

There are no "Injector pumps" on a 7.3... And there is very little that fails around 100k on a PSD...

Do you have a chip installed?

Have you checked the PCM power fuse under the hood?

the first thing was to check all the fuses everywhere, and then i pulled the chip out. had a good friend who works at a ford dealer stop on his way home with the scanner and his repair manual, after some testing and the scanner not connecting, the pcm is no good.

Did you remove the chip with the key in? That will cook a PCM every time.

Also, make sure your chip is well secured once you get a new PCM.
