How many fuses are there that would keep the engine from starting? It cranks but not start ,I would like to make sure all fuses are good before I change Cam Sensor. Thank You Again. I will send donation when I get paid at mid month.

to check the fuses need to use a test light

no start have to check for spark and check for fuel and fuel pressure
scan for codes if possible
no sure how to check for it all
this link should offer some help

A bad CAm sensor will not cause a no start on the Taurus but will set a code
check if have an injector pulse
if no spark and no injector pulse
check for codes again and check if any codes pending
check if PCM have RPM reading when engine cranking
