    LCPL Moon: It sounds like too many uncommon problems but because of the foreign objects in the fuel system it could have shorted out one of the sensors. What is the code that it brings up for the ECM. CAT uses a common power supply to all of the sensors and a common ground and if one of them short out is will cause multiple sensors to read bad. The oil sensor which is unrelated to the initial problem can cause cause the engine not to start. Have you called the MRAP FSR.

    We had a fault code for the ECM and multiple other problems on an MRAP with a C-7 when I was over in Now Zad so we pulled the motor and put one in it out of a truck that we had blown up. Not suppose to do it but with what we had to work with we had no choice. Did a lot of things that is court marshal worthy but we need vics to get to out 3 outer PBs so we did whatever we had to with the little amount that we had.
