my ford 2000 super duty diesel will not will not start and if it does start it sounds like it trying to throw a rod. Is it something with he timing or something else.One person said it could be sensor

have the ignighter checked,it sounds like it is bad.most dont know about this part,it should be on the top of engine screwed into a water outlet.

I called the store to check on buying a new ignighter and they didn't know the part by that name. Does the part go by another name?

it may,that is what we at the shop call them.the part is about 3 inches tall round with a plugin on top of it,it screws in.on top of intake or on or under the plentum.
