Well I have solid spark now, but still no start. I'm at the JY right now, but I will check injector pulse when I get back. I still have power at the injectors, and I can deffenatly smell gas when I try to start the truck. Also will a v6 crank sensor work in an v8?

I think they are the same. Only difference appears to be auto or manual trans.

Well I was able to grab a PCM off of a 98 Durango with a v8 auto and a crack sensor for an auto. I will update when I get them installed

Well I got the new PCM in.I have ground pulse at the coil. And I have injector pulse. The truck still won't start. And I have strong spark. I'm at a loss, do yall think I should have the new PCM flashed(I keep getting a code 1491 for a fan control circuit), fuel sync, or maybe something got bent in the motor is all I can think of that could still cause my no start.

Without having to read back through the thread, Have you verified fuel pressure with a gauge?

They were wet. And zman i'm away from most of my tools so I haven't been able to check fuel pressure. I finally pulled my crank sensor and tee red write was frayed almost all the way through so now i'm just trying to get ahold of someone to give me a ride to the posts store
