As I was going around the corner, my truck died. I could no longer get it to start. It cranks, but won't start. (Doesn't even come close!) I checked it as much as I could. It has no spark at all. It doesn't seem to be the fuel pump either, when I checked it.
Anybody have any ideas?

Engine cranking, check primary voltage at the ignition coil and injectors, dark green wire with orange tracer. That voltage comes from the asd relay, not saying the relay is faulty. If no voltage on the circuits in question, I'd check the relay circuits. If the computer doesn't see proper signals from cam and crank sensor, it may not ground that relay. I can't be sure of problem without testing. Any applicable trouble codes?
