dunno what happened to my post.. am I in the right thread?

anyhow...
check the #30 fuse in the underdash panel

it's the one that controls the IDM and the fuel bowl heater (chances are the fuel bowl heater is shorted, so unplug it if the fuse pops and try it again).

Thank you all for ur help got it started by unplugging the fuel heater now i just have to go find one
just starts a little harder due to being so cold

you might want to look at this wiki page- it was written by JOAT for upgrading OBS trucks.

TikiWiki : 94-97 PSD Fuel Heater Upgrade

New Style Fuel Bowl Heater:
Ford PN F81Z-9J294-AA
International PN 1831196C92

where are you in cheese land? you might have luck finding a truck parts place and get the international part cheaper than ford.

little tip here, I don't know if the super duty's are the same as OBS but iirc the threads on the tube that holds the fuel heater down are left hand. I found out the hard way. but this may just be on the obs.
