Default Scan, Man:

All those troubles must cause the PCM to generate error codes. Do a scan of the system and see what codes a pending.

Well there's your problem right there 5.4's don't have "wires"

but seriously, when there isnt spark is it just 1 cylinder or all 8?

sounds like a possible short/broken wire. next time it doesnt start try wiggling the wire harness and try again. would be best to have someone help so you can pin point where you wiggled made it work

first off posting every hour is a good way to annoy people

secondly it would not be a cam sensor, I had one go bad and it would start just barely stumble a bit cruising
