Stuck on side of the road. HELP!!!!!

[einzatgroupen]

I was just coming up to a stop sign when my truck just shut off on me. It will only crank and I'm not getting my wait to start light or any of the injector noise.
I was thinking that this could be the cam position sensor finally failing on me.
Please help thanks.

any CEL?

What engine is it?

If it's a 7.3 truck which it probably is the fuel heater shorted out and blew a fuse. If the fuse blew it shuts down the whole processor. I called my Tuner and asked him lol.

Let us know what it is.

No cel
It's a 7.3
I had the chiltons book under my seat. Just got a cam position sensor to try out.
I'm goig to look for a blown fuse when I get back. Any idea on location.

 

[Posi]

My Tuner didn't answer but I'll try him back in a minute and post what he says.

Now it depends on the year. Usually it's one of the big maxi fuses under the hood. Probably a 30 amp fuse too.

Thank Blankenship Tuning and Performance.

Thanks for all the help.
I checked all the fuses in the underhood location. All were fine. Time to change the cam sensor.

 

[Posi]

What year is the truck?

 

[einzatgroupen]

It's a 99. I double checked the box found a bad fuse replaced it and still nothing.

 

[Posi]

Did you look in both fuse boxes or just the one under the hood? He's going to look it up now.

 

[Posi]

Did it blow that fuse you just put in? If so you can disconnect the fuel heater from the outside the fuel filter housing if you need to.

 

[Posi]

It's in the fuse panel in the dash and fuse number 30 and it's a 30 amp fuse. It's in the instrument fuse panel. Drivers side of the dash.

That's why he needed the year of the truck above.

Truck has been repaired. Thanks posi. I replaced two fuses and the cam sensor. Fired right up.

 

[Posi]

Your very welcome. Glad you got it fixed.
