hi im obviously new here and ive been reading through alot of the posts and articles and its helped me out so much this far and thank you very much!
Im sure you read the title so down to business.....
i brought the truck home tonight that i just bought. its a 86' f350 thats been converted over to a 7.3. It started and ran fine for me with no problems at all. i drove it for a long period of time and it would shut off and start right back off or even on short bursts. but my problem is that it wont start now. what i did after its last start was replace a fault light switch because the parking lights werent working and now do. i also fixed a ground wire on the glow plug relay thats part of negative terminal on the battery. the controller was working before but after i fixed this it seems to work correctly. this has the old 6.9 glow plug controller on it still. it seems to function correctly now. i can turn the key and the light comes on for about 5-10 seconds then goes off but i can crank and it wont start ive tried several times with no luck thus far. please any help would be greatly appreciated!
