ok let me start from beginning on this. I picked this truck up yesterday the guy lied with every breath about it but I bought it anyways . it had a miss I drove it 150 miles home . I got it here and pulled it down and it was just a wire of the injector on passenger side . While I had it down I decided to go ahead and put valve cover gaskets and new injector harness . after installing them before putting valve covers back on I started the Ambulance and made sure it would start without the miss which it did . The engine runs great . So we went ahead and started to put it back together . While doing that I decided to plug the Body of the Ambulance in and let it charge the unit and make sure things worked inside going to use it for racing . As soon as I get everything together I try to start truck and all it will do is turn over . I feel cord plugged in its hot so it must of been back feeding somehow to motor of truck . I think the block heater is one of the things that was on while plugged in should not of been a big deal . I noticed that the glow plug relay I assume that's what it is is staying on and getting really hot so I disconnect that . I tried the engine on Ether and it starts and runs fine . So I changed the IDM thinking somehow I burnt that up . Unit will still not start . I know the second IDM is good I tested it yesterday when I first got it and it didn't clear the miss . I checked the # 22 fuse under the hood that is fine . Could I have burnt up my ECM ? you guys helped me a year ago on my 6.9 IDI still going strong . Any suggestions on where to start ??? like I said the engine runs great until I shorted something .
