I can hear my fuel pump engaging when I turn the key to on. I read that you are correct most of these trucks don't have a mass airflow sensor but the 96 V10 gas engine does. I sure hope so cause I ordered one that said it was for my truck. It was not easy to find either. Maybe I'm wrong I guess when it gets here Ill find out for sure lol. I tested my spark plugs with the little tester you out on the coil and then connect to the spark plug wires. As I'm saying that I think I may have done it wrong. Should I have put that tester on the spark plugs not the ignition coil? I checked all my injectors with a multimeter and they were all good.

Location doesn't really matter. So long as you are getting spark, it's all good. But, if you ARE getting spark...... are you getting fuel pressure? Injector pulse? Are ALL of the coils firing? (one coil fires two cylinders, so, five coils to test.)

I got a wire tester and found a bad wire going to the crankshaft. I fixed that and she started!!. Now I'm curious to find out if the crankshaft and can sensor replacement is going to keep her engine from shutting down while I'm driving. Only time will tell.
