2000 Ford F350 motor will turn over but will not start

The very first thing I would do is to see if the engine chan be turned over by hand. Use a breaker bar and a socket and try to turn the engine over manually by placing it on the crankshaft.

You may have hydorollically locked the motor.

We had a communication problem.

Cranking and turning over are symonomous.
I thought you meant no crank.

Safe to assume there is just no spark on this?

Yes Sorry.

Wine and women;-) know what I mean :-).
Uhh it is the holidays!
Let me do a little research. And I'll re-post, I am not familiar with the diesels, other than the diesel father's mysterious death.

I am going into unchartted waters with this help, but surely will be a resource.

I am trying to get hold of another mod that is, hoping he can help out, I will make a post to alert a few other mods that may be of assistance.

I'm just not the right one on this particular situation.

Hi there,

First thing to do is a compression test, It is a real possibility that you have compressed a rod, Now this will not stop it from running but if you have a deficient compression it is a waste of time going any further. Apart from that, back off all the injector lines and crank, you should have fuel pulsing, if not there is a problem with the injector pump. Start there, now I will be around on and off over the Xmas break so I will try and catch up with any posts you make.
