Cranks great. Will not start

Hello. 2000 F150 4.6L Romeo 2WD. Engine cranks great. Fuel pump working. Changed fuel filter. Will not start. NO codes. Please help me. Fixed A/C day before yesterday, only had air coming out defroster, disintegrated vacuum hose at firewall. Ran errands yesterday, no problems whatsoever. Get in truck today to go to work and no start at all, engine turns over fine. What next?

What is the THEFT light in the dash doing when you turn the key from OFF to RUN (before turning to START)?

How have you proven the fuel pump works?

THEFT light turns on for three seconds and goes out as stated in manual. Disconnected fuel line at filter turn key to on and fuel sprays out as I think it should. Looks like sufficient pressure to me. Really stumped. Thanks.

Number of possibilities, but I'd start by checking the crank sensor signal next.

I'm probably going to sound real dumb, but how do you do that?

Use a scan tool and look at the PIP PID in Mode $06.

Did the starting fluid test, nothing. Installed new crank position sensor, runs great!
