My truck won’t start. I checked to see if it had spark, it did. I replaced my fuel pump, filter, fuse, and relay. I replaced the cam shaft and crank shaft sensors. Still have an engine that won’t start. There are no codes to go off of.

Hi,

The first thought was no spark. The coils on these trucks have a common ground on the left front of the engine that is known to fail. I would still recommend checking it.

Now, you replaced the fuel pump. Do you have fuel pressure at the fuel rail? I need to know that first. If you haven't already checked, here is a link that explains how to test fuel pressure:

Let me know what you find. If you have already done this, check the ground I mentioned. It may work one time and not the next.

I will watch for your reply.

Take care,

Joe
