Default 2006 5.4 will crank but not start

I have a 2006 ran good yesterday. This morning went out and all it will do is crank over . Will not fire. I took air cleaner out and sprayed cab cleaner in to see if it will start. Will not even fire. Only has the truck for 5 days private party sale.


Any ideas??


Thanks

If you sprayed a shot of carb cleaner into the intake and it still did not make any attempt to start, that would suggest it may not be a fuel delivery problem.
The next thing I would suggest would be to check all the fuses. The easy way to do this is to use a simple test lite and check both sides of every fuse. You don't need to know which fuse controls what this way. There will be some fuses that will only lite the test light with the key on. Let us know what you find if anything and we can go from there.

Default Wont start

I took every fuse out and they all have power. Was thinking if it was the crank senser was good wouldn't the tach move alittle bit. Im think cam or crank senser. All thou I had 2 new keys made for it on Friday and they both worked fine. Whats the chance that it is key related?


Thanks

At this point we don't know what model vehicle you have. Ford's security systems are different for almost every model, need to know model and miles on clock. Does the check engine lite go out when cranking ?
The key may work the ign tumbler , but if the code is n/g it won't start.

I changed out the crank senser and it started right up. Is this a common problem for them?

Thanks

Crank sensors are a common problem for a lot of vehicles, don't feel bad !
