    my 1994 f-350 IDI Turbo diesel automatic will not start

    Well thank you all for your help. I finally got my 1994 IDI early Ford Turbo engine to start again. I finally found the correct Motorcraft Solenoid for the inside fender on the passenger side.The closest ford dealer is 25 miles away and they not only did not have a solenoid in stock they could...

    my 1994 f-350 IDI Turbo diesel automatic will not start

    Does anyone of you have a 1994 IDI Turbo that has replaced the fender starter solenoid that still has the part# of the one they replaced with and it is still working? I called my local ford parts dept and he could not find the part# in his parts catalog. He only had two solenoids that were for...

    my 1994 f-350 IDI Turbo diesel automatic will not start

    I think so it is close enough but I would have to clamp the negative post of the multimeter with vice grips and use my red cable on the positive post with one hand and jump the screw driver with the other hand. I will try that and answer you in a few minutes. Thanks

    my 1994 f-350 IDI Turbo diesel automatic will not start

    I tried and when I turned the key on and walked to the front of the truck I heard a click click about 20 times and then it quit clicking. the clicking was coming from the rear of the engine near the turbo and most likely under the air cleaner. I saw videos of the glow plug controller and I am...

    my 1994 f-350 IDI Turbo diesel automatic will not start

    Sorry I don't quite understand about the hot cable closest to the battery. I put the original solenoid which is a three terminal solenoid back on because the replacement from Napa did not make any difference. the original solenoid that is on the passenger inner fender, has two large terminals...

    my 1994 f-350 IDI Turbo diesel automatic will not start

    I knew Fords Have a solenoid on the inside Fender but this 1994 IDI Turbo f-350 but I saw one with a solenoid on the starter and on the fender. I still have not got the starter out because there is not enough room between the starter and the block. I was told by a starter expert not to take out...

    my 1994 f-350 IDI Turbo diesel automatic will not start

    I have a starter and alternator shop near here that sells new and rebuilds but I cannot get top bolt out of the starter because it is behind the solenoid and a crossmember is in front of the starter.

    my 1994 f-350 IDI Turbo diesel automatic will not start

    Thanks for the answers. The batteries both tested at 12.35 v I am glad the Glow plugs would not cause it not to start I have read that if the glow plug sensor at the rear top of the motor clicked several times it was a problem. I had mostly gm products before and 12v will click the starter drive...

    The starter gear that engages with the flywheel or what ever it is called in an e40d transmission but will not turn the engine over to start. I changed the fenderwell solenoid but it still just clicked. then I did notice when I got out of the truck the glowplug sensor near the turbo was clicking...
