I agree with Rich, I have seen some coils act very strangely, (test good,
but no spark), or fail after they heat up, so make sure about your coil.

Vinny,
First I would make sure anything you unplugged was plugged back together.
Look for anything you may have accidentally disconnected. Since you say
there is no spark after the coil, I'll assume you have voltage reaching the
coil. Have you checked to see the coil wires are seated? Last think I can
think of would would be testing the wires and coil, and still possibly
swapping out your coil after the test. I've seen coils test good, but are
still bad. That's all I can think of off hand from your problem
description.
Good-luck,
Rich - Ashburn, VA

I see there were couple of other posts and was wondering if David or Brannie
Sung found out the source of the problem. My truck has no spark after the
coil. I have already replaced the crank and cam sensor, checked the auto
shut down relay and fuses.

I can not find anything wrong!
I was working on my exhaust (broke an o2 sensor when working on it) when
afterwards the truck will no start anymore. It might be just a coincidence
though. And there is no check engine light on and the on/off code checking
came up okay.

Please help.
Thanks
Vinny
