F150 electrical problem
UPDATE: OK, so I have replaced the coil,ignition module, rotor, distributor cap, and stator. Still my truck will not start up when i crank it.
Anything im missing? or should check?

have you checked the timing chain/belt ?? remove oil cap have someone turn it over while you look inside see if valves moving at least that has always been my easy way of checkin to see if my was broke.
My brother had a simalar problem with his truck ('96 f150 inline 6). I was just about to give up and have it towed to the dealer, and then I noticed a couple of frayed wires beneth the rotor. I don't recall exactly what it is called, but the sensor is a hall type that I am guessing senses piston & ignition timing. I had to pull the distributor shaft out of the motor to replace it, and then re-time the motor. This cured his problem and he has had no problems since.
P.S. Be sure that if you replace this sensor, that you pay special attention to the routing of the wires. If you don't you will get a 1/2 mile down the road and the crown like rotor will saw through the wires (it might have happened to me
) causing the whole problem over again.
