Re: 4.7 no start help PLEASE!

original had 'no bus' error.
 
replaced cam sensor
figuring worth a try to get injectors going, same for crank, neither had
any codes saying were bad, but cheap so....
 
I only see
2 grounds for the PCM, c1-32 & 33 I think, but as you said, seems like
everything else would be dependent on those grounds
also?
 
dunno of OBDii scanner can tell me if security is
ON? or do i have to goto dealer (not gonna happen without
running!)
I can call rebuilder but they don't seem to have very
smart folks working there... wouldn't recommend anyone buy from
them!
been like pulling teeth to get them to make good on warranty!
they have a F rating with BBB....
 
wish I had known when
I ordered it!
 
Thanks!!!
