Check your timing belt and the ignition control module.

If it has spark and still wont start on starting fluid it has to be out of time. A few things it has to have to start is air, fuel, spark and all that in time and if all those are present it shoud start. So if it has plenty of fuel pressure at the rail and good spark but still wont start it has to be timing or a fuel injector problem but i would start with timing

please any one help me im at a loss

If your plugs are fouling over and over again, you have spark and fuel pressure then the only things it could be in my mind are timing (Check your timing belt), the pressure regulator on the fuel rail, (Remove the vacuum line leading to it and see if smells of fresh gasoline and or is wet with gas. If it does its bad and needs replaced), and check the crank sensor.

that was what i had been thinking but i did not know that this motor had a crank sensor where is it if this model has one also have not looked at the fpr but will as soon as i can get to the truck thanks for the info any more will be helpful

[Duane867]

Oh its got one...
Its behind the timing cover on the bottom next to the crank pulley.
You have to remove the timing cover to get to it.
