No ignition reference signal detected during cranking

after putting in a new cam sensor and a new crank sensor the truck, it refuses to move. the night i put the sensors in it started and ran fine untill i started going down the road and then it slowly started dying until it finaly shutdown. i coasted into a parking lot and tryed starting it again. started and idled fine. i did that a few more times until i parked it overnight. went back the next morning and now it wont run. it starts but immediatly dies. recent things ive done:

New crank sensor
new cam sensor

new dist. cap
all wires are hooked up and routed correctly
plenum gasket replaced

I need to have the vehicle in front of me to be able to help anymore. Sorry about that. But you need to keep your problem in your original thread and stop making new ones for the same issue. It will help no one when they do a search.

Either the new crank sensor is bad, or, you have a wiring issue, or, bad PCM.
