The parts probably won't necessarily be in the same places. For example the 5.2 and 5.9 have 1 ignition coil and a distributor while the 4.7 has a separate coil for each spark plug. Just to be clear too, it's the crankshaft sensor that may be causing issues here and probably not the camshaft sensor.

Actually you could check for spark just like on your lawn mower.

And there should be a diagram of what relays go to what in the underside of the lid to the relay/fuse box
