93 cranks no start code 14

[CodePoet]

I have a code 14 which is a circuit fault in the ignition... Where do I start looking though for the source? I can sas an explorer just fine but electronic issues are black magic to me. Just looking for a nudge in the right direction. Thanks

CODE 14 is (PIP) Ignition Profile Pickup circuit failure.

These engines use the Crankshaft Position Sensor, for the PIP.

Code 14 + No start = Replace the Crankshaft Position sensor.

Cheap, easy, Done!

Definitely go with MotorCraft. $75 at the AP store.

It could be a broken wire or bad connection. disconnect the crank sensor, tap it with a little hammer, reconnect it and try again.

OK trying the tap idea right now. Just waiting for the electrical cleaner to dry. I've had a hard start issue for a while now. The truck doesn't get driven much. That CPS has definitely been underwater though. If I were to clear the codes would that show on a koeo test
?

OK.... To test i'm going to seeing by that pull a part and get a new CPs. I have a test light and I do have power to the coil. I might throw my old coil on to see if I may had a bad one (another pull a part piece). I'm showing no spark at all right now. Pulled a plug out put it on the manifold hit the starter switch and nothing.

Ok so i did some ckp testing. I have voltage to the sensor. However, i'm picking up no ac volt at the sensor while cranking the engine. I took it off and put it in my vice, hooked up my leads and passed a screw driver past the pickup and nothing as well. Does this sound like a thorough test?
