Make sure you have fuel pressure at the shrader valve.

 

[Tom S]

hot or cold motor when it will not restart?

Mine did that when injector oring failed and it would not build high pressure oil.

 

[greaseballcreeper]

cold start ????

 

[Stroked95]

cold start=sat over night cold start in the A.M. Engine was allowed to cool to ambient temps.

This is the first time you've had this problem?

Usually there will be some rough running before it gets to this point. A clue is tiny bits of black rubber like stuff in the fuel filter housing.

Maybe he got it going.

Cold: fuel heater short. Tom, is that what you were isolating with cranking temps?
Some common causes in no particular order:
IPR, IPR coil bad or loose. IPR harness, fuel pump, HPOP reservoir leak down, low oil level, oil additives like engine restore, glow plugs, GP relay, GP harness. CPS should be covered already. No smoke = no Fire.

Check the fuses in the underhood box. If they are good, try plugging the heater in. A warm start would point to the G P system. Fuel, air, temp and compression mixed right makes smoke and Fire.
