I recently took a 4.6 from a 98 e-150 van and put in a 1997 f 150. put new oil pump, bearings, and rings. got everything hooked up and ready to roll. turn over but no spark to any cyl. any suggestions on what it might be.
I had a similar problem a year ago. I thought it had to be this, then that, then since that didn't work it must be this. Nope, figured it out when I bumped the fuse box with my leg. The fuse for the ignition was not blown, BUT the little metal clips inside the fuse box were loosened. All I needed to do was pull the cover off of the fuse box and squeeze the clip with needle nose. Spent a butt load of money to fix it when it ended up being a $0 fix! ARGH!

Canacka, I cannot thank you enough for posting this. I had the exact same problem and was beginning to be so frustrated until I searched for help. You were absolutely correct. Fuse number 30 was loose and did not seat in the fuse jacket correctly. I corrected it with a piece of wire and BAM!! Started right up. .
