Engine is 4.9 liter. Mechanic did fuel pressure test, truck passed. Do not detect spark in plugs.

Had similar problem with my '91 E250 , w/5 Liter. Run fine for awhile then quit. Finally changed the crankshaft position sensor inside distributor, . . . . Bingo.

I chased a no-start situation for 2 years. Sometimes engine would crank over but not start. 96 E350 extended van. Ended up being the pickup coil deep inside distributor. I replaced the complete distributor myself $100 AutoZone. 1 hour. Done deal.
