What would cause a 7.3 Powerstroke not to start?
Injector Control Pressure Sensor: When an ICP is failing, the engine runs extremely rough as load is imposed (under throttle), and the condition can eventually contribute to a 7.3L’s inability to start. Oil contamination in the wiring usually is the cause.
What would cause a f250 not to start?

What does the ICP sensor do on a 7.3 Diesel?
The injector control pressure (ICP) sensor is on both the 7.3L and 6.0L Powerstroke engines. They use a high pressure oil system as a way to pressurize fuel in the injector body. ICP sensors on the Ford 7.3 diesel engines read the oil pressure in the HPOS.
Why does my diesel crank but not start?
When your engine cranks but won’t start or run, it could mean your engine is having trouble producing a spark, getting fuel, or creating compression. The most common causes are problems in the ignition (for example, a bad ignition coil) or fuel system (for example, a clogged fuel filter).
How many miles can a 7.3 Power Stroke last?
400,000 to 500,000 miles
Robust, iron parts, conservative power and low engine speed are the key ingredients for any diesel engine lasting forever—and if a 7.3L has gone unmodified yet been well maintained its entire life, 400,000 to 500,000 miles is virtually guaranteed.
Is the 7.3 Power Stroke the best engine ever?
According to TheDrivingLine.com the 7.3 liter Diesel engine is the most reliable Powerstroke of them all. One reason is that it was in production before certain regulations were put in place for diesel engines. Therefore, the absence of emissions controls on the engine makes it far less complicated.
