Default Cranks but no start- help please

2005 F-250 cc with 6.0 auto 4x4 170,000mi. Edge juice with attitude. Been running Great. Last week it took a few seconds to start and would run kinda sluggish and smoke a little white and black til it got warmed up. Yesterday I turned it off to get fuel and it would crank and crank but no start. It canks strong. I tried it last night and I couldn't read it quick enough but it said some kind of fault? Any ideas? I don't drive it much other than to go into town every other week but I don't wan it just sitting around. I've driven it maybe 100 miles in the last 3 weeks. Thanks guys

Does it restart fine once it's cooled off? Does it only seem to happen when the truck is warm? Probably the STC fitting on the HPOP.

No. It wont start at all. Just cranks. After about 5 secs it says tpc fault on the dash. I check the Ipc sensor and I didn't see any oil in it. I live 40 mi from town and don't have a way to check codes. Is there anyway to test the hpop or the stc or the crank position sensor or the iPr?

TBC fault is just the brake controller, I wouldn't worry about that right now.

When you crank, look to see if the oil pressure gauge on the dash comes up. You may have to crank for a while, mine took like 6-7 full seconds before it comes up.

One thing to note is if you have an oil bypass system it may even take longer for it to show pressure on the guage, check the bassics, fuel, oil pressure , air. you can pull the IPR to see if the screen is torn and holding the ipr open.

Sounds like the low pressure oil pump may be going out...

OR, wrong oil filter, like one that uses it's own cap... seen that quite a few times too. Check the oil level as well. Low oil means no oil going to the high pressure oil pump, which means injectors stop firing.

How do you know it's filling up? If your oil pressure gauge on the dash is dropping, that means you're not building low pressure oil. Low pressure feeds the high pressure, so if you're losing low pressure, you're certainly not going to have high pressure. We need to start at the beginning and work our way back to the hpop.
