no start

2008 ranger 3.0. Started off with replacing the pcm which gave me the ability to start it with ether. Its got good fuel pressure good fire. Replaced the cam and crank sensor. But still won't start. Checked injector pulse and it is intermittent. Thoughts and ideas would greatly be appreciated.

Have you checked the compression?
How many miles?
Why did you change the pcm? Are the pcm's the same or from different series?


So it turns over ok, used to start with ether? that's a fuel problem.


You replaced the cam sensor? or the cam?


If you replace the cam, check you static timing with the valve cover off.
Valves should be closed with piston on the compression stroke.
