The truck wont get fire or fuel. Replaced cam and crank sensor computer and fuel pump and coil.

GUESS WHAT? I FOUND THE PROBLEM! WISH IT WAS BEFORE I SPENT 600 DOLLARS ON PARTS. 3 RED WIRES WITH A WHITE STRIPE UNDER THE RELAY BOX ON INNER FENDER WALL WERE CORROIDED AND NOT GETTING CONTACT. FIXED IT FOR 1.50 FOR AN ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR! HOPE THIS HELPS

I just read your posting, but don't see what was wrong. Based on what you said, something tells me you had no spark and it wouldn't start. Was there a problem with a wire splice that was corroded causing the problem?

The 3 red wires under the relay box under the hood control the auto shut down, fuel pump and coil. They were corroded at the soder point so respliced them and reconnected them. That solved the issues we were having.

I thought it would have something to do with spark. It's been awhile, but there were quite a few problems with that splice corroding and the vehicle loseing spark.

Take care and thanks for the good info.
