I can get the timmer started but it only runs for a few dies out i have older one that does the same help

check oil

2004 f250 6.0 diesel trapped in extreme cold temps -30 plugged truck in put anti gel in added 10 more gallons of fuel. Truck will start run a few minutes and die. will not restart immediately but if wait 20 or 30 minutes it will start run few minutes and die again. Tried repeating process many times same result. Batteries now dead charging now. Can you help need truck to help others with groceries and medical needs.

if I'm reading this right...
... the engine starts and dies within a few seconds.
... you jumpered the fuel pump test connector and it will keep running.
... you smell fuel after trying to re-start when it dies.

Disconnect the plug to the cold start injector. Even if you have an issue with the engine running then dying after a few seconds after doing this, if you don't smell fuel after disconnecting the cold start injector and try to restart it, the cold start time injector time switch may be failing.

Buy a can of starting fluid and have someone start the engine then spray short bursts of the fluid around all the intake fittings. If spraying the fluid in any particular area keeps the engine running, I'd start looking for leaks around that area.


It does sound like an AFM or COR issue considering it dies after a few seconds, but the fuel smell when trying to restart the engine may be a separate issue that needs corrected / isolated first.it will keep running.

Is this an older machine ? If so try finding the points its usualy on the front lower part of the engine behind the cover, if you see that then it needs its condensor replaced, lookes like a round battery.

If this is newer or you can also try changing the spark plug sometimes they heat up and fail.

You timmer is going bad most like you need a new timer

The flashing re light is trying to tell you what is wrong! It will flash 2 to 9 times and you need to count the flashes and then refer to the troubleshooting chart on page 27 of your owners manual.

To me it sounds like your pump loses it prime some I would suspect a leak on the suction side of the system.

how old is the battery. may want to replace the battery if is older then 2 years.

check the defrost timmer if it is working you need a defrost heater you can manually turn the defrost timmer to check the heater the timmer turns off the compressor and on the heater 2 or 3 times a day the timmer is a box with a round knob sticking out of it turn the knob tell it clicks look under the front for it or in the back most refrigerators have a wiring diagram on the back or by the compressor

dose it have a thermostat if it dose that will turn it off

I bet it just burned out a fuse. They do burn out and it may have been just when you were running it. Think about it. A fuse doesent go bad waiting to be used. Its all way while they are running or starting up. If you need help changeing it ,let me know. If you can put it on the kitchen table , then you can replace. I will be happy to walk you through the repair. DFD
