A no-start can be one of MANY possible things. Here is a troubleshooting guide to help find the problem:

Being an 04 and what i've seen in the past year id say your cam position sensor is bad $30-50 at the dealer and a half an hour to install. Before you invest a ton of money throwing parts at it find someone with a scanner or buy your self auto enginuity and find out what exactly is wrong. auto enginuity is like $350

did you bleed the air from the fuel system(the top filter) if not then that will cause a no start due to a air lock. loosen the top fuel filter cap and turn the key on to activate the fuel pump. helps if you have some help so that you don't spill fuel everywhere. thats where I would start. hope that helps.
its very easy to test the ficm, theres a lil cap that comes off with two allens. Soon as you take the cap off you will need a volt meter. If you have a 4 pin ficm Test the pin closer to the fender and should read 70 volt i believe? Then have someone start the truck, if your voltage drops will cranking you have a bad ficm
Did you ever get it running? Just happened to me. I have an 05. Apparently the 04 and 05 models had a design flaw in the High Pressure Oil Pump system. Any leak in the system tells the engine to shut down or not start. Very labor intensive. My job is $1,450.00. Had a crack in an oil libe and two leaking seals. My truck only had 40,000 miles but is a few months beyond the five year mark so no warranty.
Go to: Office of Defects Investigation (ODI), File A Safety Complaint and file a complaint against Ford. If we all do so NHTAS may issue a recall and force Ford to cover repairs.
you should start your own thread but you can pick one up in the calssifieds for around $300 or your current one may just need the vanes cleaned
I am having the same problem. I replaced the fuel filters hoping that was it but no luck. I have an E450 motor home with a 6.0L power stroke so everything is cramped. I would like to know how to get a hold of the tool that reads the diagnostic codes. Based on what I have read from this forum it sounds like it is the FICM. Now my question is where is it located on an E450. Any help would be great.
Hello, I'm new here. So maybe it's not the right place to ask - could not create a new thread. I also have a no start problem. So I have had some disassembled among others. then I have a question - I desassembled the high pressure oil pipe - which I later read on a webpage that I could not thake apart - and if I did I should obtain some new.. should it be necessary??
they look fine

There a few quick things you can check.....Pull oil filter housen off take out the filter and get someone to crank over the engine and see if oil filter housen fills up...if it does ...go to your ICP sensor(Right Valve Cover) towards the front Screw it out and get you a fitting that will fit that size hole .....you will also need a gage that reads at least 500psi ....thats what it takes to fire the engine on the high pressure oil system...you can make this tool for little of nothing with stuff from your hardware store!If you have a programmer some of them will let you see PIDS or Engine Data!!! You can monitor you ICP from there as well IF you programmer is one of the upper end ones !!!FICM should read 48 volts...FICML should read at least 12.98 and FICMR as well....cranking speed needs to be at least 500 rpms or better!!!Then you havent even hit the fuel system yet !!! Halla abck and let us know what you found !!!

had to replace the hpop the first time bc of no start and the ficm this last time bc of no start. any mechanic with a good scanner should be able to tell you which one and might charge you $50 diagnostic fee.
