The truck will crank but will not start. There is no spark. I have power at coils but no spark. Replaced the crank sensor wires coil and plugs.

Hello,

This sounds like the PCM relay is not working. Here is a guide to help you test it and the location of the relay #4. Also, I found the engine wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works.

When you turn the key to the on position without cranking the engine over can you hear the fuel pump run in the tank for 5 seconds?

Please run down this guide and report back. Check out the diagrams (below). Please run this test and get back to us.
