    after checking all fuses,relays,CPS temp sensor came down to main computer had to be replaced. Vehicle runs like a dream after replacing PCM.

    Thank you ALL for your Help.

Did you check fuel pressure with gage? My info says 35--45 psi, key on engine off. Do you have a fuel rail pressure sensor, I didn't see one listed? Is there a security lamp on the dash that is on and flashing? Any applicable trouble codes? Did you check primary voltage at ignition coil? Should go hot with key on, it is fuse protected. All the coils have same color primary voltage wire.
Some ford makes and models will disable fuel injectors if mis-fire is detected.
I'm just killing time, not trying to impose on anybody.

You might try starting fluid in air horn to see if it tries to run, then at least you would know it is not an ignition problem and only on the fuel side. Maybe wiring connector to crank sensor is bad. Really not sure how you would check if Anti-theft is preventing starting, but keys are only 1/2 of system and PCM is the other.

Testimonial: "thank yo for your response.I have tested and replaced CPS,Temp Gauge,tested fuel pump with scanner and has great fuel pressure, Reprogrammed Keys,tested TPS tested fine,took Pcm out of the truck looks like its been replaced before don't know when.. Painted with no part numbers on the case.Do not know how to test Anti theft Module?? thats the only other thing that comes to mind before replacing the PCM which I have no idea if it will fix the problem."

    There were conditions on older vehicles which involved electrical lookouts. Some of the relays would only stay energized for a few seconds unless a signal from the PCM or crankshaft sensor was confirmed. There was 1 system for the startup and then another system took over. You could test like you are doing, but the testing only showed the first tier and not the extended RUN system. If you have CAM sensors they may not throw pulses or an old fashion Mechanical defect, like broken timing chain, would have components test okay but no engine motion to fire them. As crank sensor is external it could still do its job if crankshaft turns and sensor has power. You might be able to peek through valve cover oil fill to see if anything moves or through any rubber opening like for a PVC valve.

    The keys and reprogramming them is technology that I have no training for. If you could borrow keys and a PCM from an F150 or Expedition the same year, then you could substitute and see if your vehicle will run. It would be quick as only the computer would need to be plugged in.

95 blazer 4x4 4 door w vin 4.3 v6 ignition problems

4.3L , L35(RPO engine)
has 1 fuel pump relay PCM controlled
has 1 fuel pump.oil pressure sensor , too.
not sure at all me what a pulsator might be.Ahh Dampener.
what matters is spark first, it must have spark or the PCM cuts fuel dead on all EFI car. (if the PCM detects spark bad in ANY WAY)
the comes cranking the pump just receiver 12vdc cranking
KEY ON ONLY is only 2sec prime puls best is forget that unless have 2 person to test prime, but cranking matters first.
some new pumps are silent, (like top Bosch) so sounds prove little. today what really matters is PSI pressure cranked,
the PCM brain or the oil pressure switch allow the pump to have power cranked, and running.
that is how to test it, cranked only.

"starting with start fluid,but now it just cranks over ,only."
does this mean starting fluid now fails.?
we check spark at all spark plugs no just 1.
we check oil pressure to, if zero PSI cranked that is bad .
last is fuel pressure if not at spec, it will not start.
spec fuel pressure is 58-64 psi
yes some fuel rails or near by or near tank, have pulsator that is really regulator/dampener.
it prevents old cheap pumps from madly pulsing the rail and causing injectors to mess up. vane pumps do make pulses some worst tan others, (some even by pass it, but there is their call)
Is this a TBI throttle body injection? or MPI.

the SM states this. (it has a 2 second prime for sure)

If the engine does not run, turn the ignition ON, but do not attempt to start the engine. Listen for the fuel pump to run. Within 2 seconds of turning the ignition ON pressure should be 58-64 psi (400-440 kPa) while the pump is running. Once the pump stops, pressure may vary by several pounds, then it should hold steady. If the pressure does not hold steady, wait 10 seconds and repeat this...

My 1993 Dodge Dakota 3.9l v6 4x4 magnum wont fire it will crank over but no fire? The fuel pump relay, crank shaft sensor , spark plugs and wires were replaced. I don’t know a lot about this no fireing...

check the compresion in all cylinders 100 psi (compression good) check the spark -check the fuel pressure.30 psi at gauge with switch on.(if no keep pressure with switch off injectors or fuel pressure regulator are bad
check the signal to the injectors (get little injectors tester at autoparts) if no signal check the ground to the injectors black wire
or the other wire (computer)= good signal to injectors and good fuel pressure and good spark (defective injectors)

2004 ford explorer will not start but turns over

For a no start , cranks over ok. be sure you have fuel pressure at the fuel rail first, before checking the injectors. There should be more that 40 psi at the rail... if not .. you might have a fuel pump problem. Even if you have fuel pressure at the fuel rail... the next thing I would check for,,, is spark !! Make sure you have spark at the spark plugs. The order would be... fuel pressure first and then spark , , then injector pulse. !! Then plugged exhaust.... then bad fuel then engine timing. The injectors have power to them all the time. The PCM controls the ground to the injectors. So you would have to monitor the ground side of the injectors. So checking injectors is kinda complicated. Hope this helps you. Good luck.

I have a 1999 ford expedition i have been have trouble starting it for a month now changed the fuel filter reset the fuel pump switch checked the fuses all good. It turns and half the time it starts now...

GO TO AUTO PARTS STORE BUY A FUEL PRESSURE GAUGE THAT CAN CHECK FUEL PRESSURE UP TO 100 PSI. LOCATE YOUR FUEL PRESSURE TEST PORT.LOOK FOR SCHRADER VALVE ON FUEL LINE NEXT TO EGR VALVE.PLACE A RAG NEAR THE SCHRADER VALVE AS YOU INSTALL FUEL PRESSURE GAUGE TO CATCH GAS SPILL AS YOU SCREW IN FUEL PRESSURE GAUGE HOSE FUEL PRESSURE 30 - 45 PSI WITH ENGINE RUNNING. THE ENGINE MUST BE OFF HOOK UP THE FUEL PRESSURE GAUGE.IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE THE FUEL PRESSURE GAUGE WILL HAVE INSTRUCTION HOW TO HOOK UP FUEL PRESURE GAUGE.BE CAREFUL CHECKING FUEL PRESSURE IS DANGEROUS JOB.DONT ALLOW NO MASSIVE FUEL SPRAYING WHEN HOOKING UP FUEL PRESSURE GAUGE YOU WILL GET CAR FIRE.

Engine spins but won't start

its not easy the way you put it, but maybe first thing to check should be fuel pressure at the fuel rail should be above 50 psi to start if its below its going to be hard to start, most times is a defective fuel pump, next check for spark at the coils if its a 4.6 or 5.4 v8 take off one coil tell a friend to help you crank the engine from inside while you check for spark if there is no spark find or rent an obd2 code reader and check for dtc it will save you a lot of time than checking one by one

The fuel pump pumps but on start up it dies

Flel regulator will only affect max fuel pressure only will not cause it to not start. try replacing fuel filter first if still does not get fuel then you need to see if it is fuel related or if you have a spark at the spark plugs, pull off a spark plug boot and put screw driver in it hold 1/4 inch away from bare metal and crank engine if you get a spark then it's fuel relateed if no fuel it can be the crank shaft sensor or the cam shaft sensor. let me know if it has fire.

1999 hard starting expedition, with 5.4 engine

fuel pump may be going. try this. turn key on, listen for fuel pump to run for 5 seconds. Turn key off, wait 15 seconds or until you hear relay click inside car. Turn key on again for 5 seconds and ff for 15 seconds. repeat once more. This will pressurize fuel system to 40 psi so injectors have full pressure. If it starts quickly now, you are getting bleed down through the check valve in the fuel pump or the fuel pressure regulator on the fuel rail.

1999 Ford expedition

Check the fuel pressure to make sure that after the key is turned off it does not drop more than 5 PSI, if it does the check valve for te electric fuel pump is defective, this causes long crank times due to the fact the fuel line has to be pumped full before any gas reaches the injectors.
