not to sure

not to sure, i replaced the lower and upper intake gaskets last week and now it wont start... ran fine before i took it apart... i have fuel and spark, but no fire... trying to figure it out before i start throwing cash at it... dont have a lot right now... the only thing that i can think of is that the pcm lost the #1 cylinder and is not firing the coil, or the injectors at the right time... very confused... this is not the first ford i have owned, but this is the first time i have had this problem... i HATE electronics...

not quite as dumb as him though! LOL

Welcome to this forum! Check to see if there is a code stored in the PCM.

i did, and i think that the codes i am getting r 14 pip circuit fault, and 16 rpm too low to test o2 sensor/fuel test... i have a digital code reader coming so i will know exactly what codes they r...

thanks for the welcome...

The profile ignition pickup (PIP) is used on cap & rotor distributors (pre coil pack).

ya, it is also called crankshaft timing sensor, variable reluctant sensor, and a hall type sensor... either way, i dont know if that is the prob or not... i will check back tomorrow... thanks all for your input...

One way to tell if if you could hear your fuel pump prime on, and off every time you turn your engine over with a breaker bar while the electrical system is on. The ignition key should be in the accessory position.
