I try to jump my car with jumper cables and it still wouldn't start all the lights on the dash turn on when I turn the key the radio runs the lights turn on I can unlock my car from my key but when I turn the key it just makes a clicking noise does this say that it's my ignition switch or is it the battery yet
It does the clicking and we changed the battery and it feels like it has no diesel but it has a full tank
Here is the ebp sensor it's on the front of the engine near the tensioner andheater core hose
I changed ebp and still want to turn off but it doesn't
Your problem is most likely a bad camshaft position sensor it appears to be a common problem with the same effects and ford has a recall for that specific part as well
To be perfectly specific here is is Recall Number 07V553000 Recall Date 12/05/2007 Component ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:DIESEL Summary ON CERTAIN HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH 7.3L DIESEL ENGINES, THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR LOCATED ON THE ENGINE OF THE VEHICLE MAY FUNCTION INTERMITTENTLY, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN AN ENGINE STALL.
