2005 6.0l won't start.

As the title states.

It's been sitting about a week, tried to start it today and no go. Turns over like crazy, but won't even try to fire. Has occasionally been a bit slow to start over the last while, nothing too bad, but a bit more cranking than I before, or so it seemed. Of course, it's just off warranty, 163,000km. Figures.

Anyway, from searching, it seems the most common problems for the 05 6.0 are the stc fitting and the ficm. Should there be any codes appear from not starting, or would codes only show up once it was running?

Trying to figure it out if at all possible due to the off warranty thing, can't afford to fix anything too major.

You should probably rig up a pressure gauge to install where the ICP is located. You need 500 psig to start. If you do not have 500 psig while cranking, then it is in your HPO system and very likely the HPOP STC fitting.

Have you pulled the secondary fuel filter out of the filter housing, emptied the bowl, and cranked to verify that the HFCM is pumping?

Oil rail plug, when it fails the truck will have long crank and no start
Replace w/ part# w302195

Well, no codes are showing up right now. Tried it with the small engine mounted fuel filter removed, wondering how much flow should be coming from the HFCM. There is definitely flow, but I don't really know how fast it should be coming.

On this 2005 with the ICP under the HPOP cover, where can I hook up a guage to check my oil pressure?

Thanks.

Your ICP is on the passenger side valve cover.
