Default Truck Died and wont start.....HELP

Truck has been running fine lately. Drove it home about 30 miles today then started it up to go out shoppin, put my little girl in the carseat while it was running and came around to get in.

Truck shut off and tried to restart (Has auto-start) and now it won't start at all, just keeps cranking over.

Has spark and the fuel pump comes on when the key is turned forward.

I replaced the camshaft position sensor and still nothing. Checked all grounds also.

Any ideas? I was thinking about replacing the crankshaft sensor next

If you have spark, crank sensor is prolly ok.

Can you check fuel pressure? Whereabouts in michigan?

What year is your truck? (you should put that info in your sig. ) If you are 94/95, pressure should be around 39, 96 and up, 49. Let us know what ya find out.

49 psi for you then.

Verify good spark on more than one cylinder. If that's ok, and fuel pressure is ok, we can move on from there.

Might wanna grab a noid lite as well, while you are getting the pressure gauge. (test for injector pulse)

I checked spark at the coil, just stuck a wire in it to see if it arc'd, wasn't a huge arc but it was there
