Dt466E trouble

[Brad kirk]

Does anyone have any idea why a Dt466E would not be firing up. I have replaced IDM and had the injectors done by a proven shop. The truck ran great for about 2 months then it was parked and not used for 4 or 5 months. Now it will not fire up and will only blow white smoke when trying to start. I have checked fuses at the batteries, replaced the parts above and camshaft sensor and nothing.

Is it spinning slowly?? You need to have good batteries to enable it to spin at 500 rpms. Bad batteries are the No. 1 problem with No Start!!

White smoke indicates that it is getting fuel. Sounds like a glow plug or weak battery problem.

On my heavy equipment a snort of starting fluid will usually get them running, but you have to be careful not to overdo it and I'm not sure if the factory approves starting fluid on an e model 466.
