I am not in the mood to go look at part numbers, but does not the 5.2 cam sensor/pick-up fit in the 5.9? If yes why go buy one.

ok so i went to two parts stores and couldnt find any noid lights but i picked up some more starting fluid. It fired right up with starting fluid. So cam sensor? Im gonna go ahead and take the one of the 5.2 and see what happens. What all can cause the injectors not to be pulsing? I rechecked the ground to the p/s again its good.

If the PCM doesn't get a cam sensor signal, it doesn't know when to fire the injectors. So, it doesn't fire them at all.

Since you have pressure..... cam sensor is a good bet. If you have a spare, swap it out, see what happens.

the ground may appear to be good, but the wires may be loose in the ring terminal. check the ring terminal, and then swap out the cam sensor from the 5.2.

let us know how it goes!

Can you narrow down which plug(s) aren't firing? Go from there. Check the plug/wire/connection at the dizzy. Check that injector too, swap it with a injector/plug that is firing right and see if the miss follows
