        The lack of input from the OBD port is hurting your ability to make a diagnosis, and it may also point to the key error. So, when reviewing the wiring diagram I would focus on that problem first. It may be just a fuse (that appears to be OK but doesn’t let juice pass), so I would look again at your fuse bank with your power probe.

                      I don’t know this vehicle, but I remember something about crash sensors shutting down the fuel and spark as a safety issue… Something to consider and possibly reset… Good Luck!

                        i have one Question after starting the truck i hooked up the code scanner to look at the live/view data and the passenger side fuel injector is reading -14 at cold but at normal operating temperature its -6 and the driver side is fine. does that mean the passenger side is starting to clog up?. i have 4 new o2 sensors its a f150 with a 4.2l v6

                          On a Ford if you are thinking PCM then think again and again before you buy one, they rarely go bad. Make sure your conections at the PCM are good. I would bet you have a crank sensor problem.

                            if i have a crank sensor problem would it set off a code on the computer?

                              Sometimes they don’t.
                              I had a car awhile back that had a missfire code but no cranksensor code.. the crank sensor bolt came out and it was just hanging there, after putting a new bolt back in the code never came back.

                                Are you looking at fuel trim numbers, pulse width or duty cycle of a particular injector?

                                  As long as your fuel trim numbers are +/- 10 of each other, you should be fine.

                                  Here is a video by Scanner Danner that explains fuel trim –

                                  i drove the truck to the store about 5 miles round trip and when i pulled on the gas pedal it has a hesitation and lass of power to go and sound sort a like a knocking sound and the truck starts to shimmy, shake if the rpm go higher then 1500.. could that be bad injectors? when can i do to fix the problem
