1997 F350 dually 7.3L Won't start
 

Hi Guys, Would appreciate a little guidance in getting my 97 F350 back running. I've read a lot of posts but would like to know if someone can pinpoint the problem. 2 days ago I started up the truck, let it idle for a while as I always do. Drove about 30 KM truck had good power as always then when I stopped at the first stop sign the truck sounded rough and I thought it was going to quit. So I headed back home and couldn't barely do the 80km/h speed limit. Stopped off at the gas station filled the tank.. no change and I managed to get back home barely. The truck would rev up slowly but no power at all. Parked the truck. Got my chev ( had to go pick up my trailer) :argh: Got to the trailer and the chev blew a brake line :argh: When I got back home I tried to restart the truck but it ran the same. Tried to start the truck Yesterday morning and it won't start at all. Changed air and fuel filter and fuses checked OK. Was lots of fuel in the filter bowl. Just lots of gray smoke comes out from the exhaust and some from under the hood. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Really need more info on truck but my guess would be the high pressure fuel sensor. Its a little exspensive but the other options are far more

Had the truck towed to the shop. Mechanic did a buzz test and 4 of the driver side cylinders were not getting power. Turns out I needed a new computer. Truck is back on the road $800 later

Thanks

:jump: sorry for the loss of mula but great to here its fixed

I'm thinking you needed an IDM, not a computer...

Check all the UVC harness's and make sure there are no melted or shorted wires or you may be replacing another one shortly.

Dont tell me you don't have a california truck you wouldn't get a computer that easy! I'm hoping to get my computer rebuilt for mine where did you get the computer
