It could be a whole bunch of things. Check the High pressure oil pump reservoir in the front of the engine. Does your tach register when cranking? Check to see if somone stole your Injector driver module it is a rectangular metal box attached to the driverside fender.
Good luck.

Yep, first thing is check HPOP and also the engine oil pan level.
Then check all fuses in engine compartment

There's no such thing as a '94 F-450. The first F-450 was a '99. But in '94 model year Ford made something called a Superduty. It was regular cab 4x2 only, and it had a little more weight capacity than an F-350 DRW, but not near as heavy duty as the '99-up F-450.

So I suspect you have a Superduty. '94 model year was the transition year, where they began the year with a 7.3L IDI engine, then added a turbo to the IDI engine, then finally came out with the DI PowerStroke engine near the end of the model year. So your Superduty may be a PowerStroke, but it's not an F-450.

Smokey, technically you are 100% right, but I find it best to call them F450 Superduty or something like that because the first response you get is "they didn't start making Super Duties untill 1999!"

I wonder the same thing. This could be an IDI (most 1994 f-450's were that I ahve seen). Best way to tell is looking at the top of the engine. Are there fuel lines everywhere or a big fuel filter housing?
