Question 93 ford 7.3 turbo international wont start help!!!

Truck sat for 2 years. I have cleaned fuel lines and tank. I am getting gas all the way to injector inlets. I have changed gp controller . And I have changes glow plugs, and now I didn't use autolites. When I turn the key the controller just clicks for 10-15 seconds . The wait to start light never comes on? I can't get it to hit. I have tried plugging it in even tho its 60 out side and it still won't start. Ether won't with or wd 40. I know they are all bad but I checked to see if it would fire on them. I need help please and thank you!

How fast is it cranking? A weak starter can make those things a bear to light off sometimes...

Either it's not getting fuel (or it's air locked), or the fuel shutoff solenoid is bad/not working, or it's broken.

But if you were getting fuel all the way to the injectors at first, and now it's "not pumping", then I'd say you have air in the system. Best bet is to take off the fuel filter and fill it to the brim with fresh clean diesel, put it back on, crank on it a bit then bleed the air out with the Schrader valve on the side of the filter housing. If you're getting a solid stream with no sputtering or signs of air, crack the injector lines loose and crank a few times (no more than 10-15 seconds or you'll smoke that poor starter) until you get good fuel again at all the injectors. Then tighten them up and try to rack it off again.

I used to have to do that quite a bit when I'd run a tank dry (the gauge float split a seam and filled with fuel so it read Empty all the time...and the odometer isn't a very reliable way to gauge a tank).

Hope this helps!
