I have an ambulance that has a fail to start problem. It's a 2002 powerstroke and has failed to start since it was new. We are currently in Ceres at Country Ford . This is the 4th dealer to investigate this and always find nothing . We are on our 12th visit for the same problem and are contacting Ford re: The lemon.

They have pulled codes in the past for TPS and also the CPS. Neither sensor replacement has worked. Anybody have any thoughts on this ? It cranks over but will not start. After 30 minutes of sitting it starts up and purrs like a kitten till you shut her off. Not too good beings it is an ambulance!

Go to this site. Read the forums. They will tell you everything you ever did or did not want to know about power strokes.

You can go to http://www.infotraxx.com/ and search for TSB Tecnical Service Bulletions you have to pay if you want to see the entire bulletion but just finding one can help determine if there is a noted problem. I usuallly look for bulletions then call a freind with a shop to look them up and sometime with a TSB the dealer will fix it for free. It's worth a try.
