98 Explorer 4.0 getting no spark.

Is the truck parked pointed downhill? If so, and the gas tank is under 1/4 full it might not be pumping fuel.

You can get a cheap -round dial type air pressure gauge from walmart under 5.00

There is a shrader valve on the fuel rail. push the tire gauge down hard onto it while someone tries to start the engine. Beware, a tiny bit of fuel will spill out when you apply the gauge, and when it is removed, so hold the downward pressure on it while testing and remove the fitting as quickly as possible when finished. It should be just like checking tire pressure once you find the valve and remove the cap.


post back the fuel pressure reading you get please.
 






I would check if there is 12V going to the coil and the wiring to the cam sensor/ computer to trigger spark is all peachy. might have fried a wire there that is either A not giving your coil power or B not allowing spark to trigger
