Thanks for the reply. I'll try those sensors, I actually have a spare of
each. I'll also check the FSM. to see if there's a simple test procedure
for them.
The truck has 120,000 miles on it.
I swapped relays already so the ASD relay seems good.

Thanks again,
James

First thought: Crank position sensor, then cam position sensor. Both should
throw, but they don't always. How many miles do you have on it? Also, this
is a long shot, since they very seldom go bad, but ASD relay? Biff
