I have a '93 F250 with a straight six. The truck started a couple of weeks ago when it was quite cold. I stopped it and it wouldn't start again. I have tested the starter, alternator and battery, and replaced the firewall selenoid. The selenoid on the starter couldn't be tested. It tries to turn over, but won't catch. Any ideas? Fuel problem? I have a good ground on the starter and good battery connections.

Welcome to the forum, are you saying it cranks good, but, won't start? Or it won't even crank? If it won't even crank, I'd have to be sure the battery has a full charge and the connections are good.

If it cranks good, but, won't start, have a helper crank it, while check for spark at the plugs. If you have spark everywhere, use a gage and check fuel pressure.

You may have an ignition controll module problem with the truck. It is located on the driver side fender usually between the tire well and the firewall. They can be tested. The last one I purchased was around 50 dollars
