Somethin' else is going on there...... not entirely sure what. Try disconnecting the cam sensor as well. (in the distributor. connector should be toward the drivers side.)

I have tried everything listed in this thread, is there any other insight on this problem? When I turn my key on it shows my mileage but 10-15 seconds it then flashes and shows no bus, I’ve unplugged all sensors on the truck I’ve also checked and cleaned all connections for the fuse panel next to the battery and I’ve also cleaned and checked all connections on the pcm. I’m stumped here. Any insight would be great thanks!!

Update got the truck running, went about a half mile and it just died, all I did was remove the cap on one of the pcm connections to expose the wires, wiggled some around and plugged it back it and it ran, I tried doing that when it died on me on the road and I got all cluster back but no start, I’m still stumped!!

Bad wire/plug/PCM/connection is what it sounds like to me

Another update, I’ve went through all the wires in all 3 plugs none of them are loose.
i found out that the clips that hold the plugs on are broken on 2 of 3 of the plugs, so I’m narrowing it down to the plugs. Just wish there was an easier fix then zip ties and duct tape!!
