Crank, but no start, HELP!
I drive a 2001 ford f150 lariat 5.4L. My truck will crank but not start, i am getting complete spark, and have ran a full fuel pressure procedure, and am getting complete fuel pressure, there is no water in my gas, everything checks out how it should. I ran a test on my cluster and it showed a code that said i am not getting connection to computer to start. I removed the cluster and repaired all loose wires properly, and it still wont start!
I have had many people look at it and they said it could still be a bad cluster.
Is there anything else it could be, or could i get clarification that is the problem? PLEASE HELP! Thanks!!

Are the fuses and relays for the fuel pump and ignition ok?
Does the anti theft light blink? slow? or rapidly?
Have you tried a different key?

Do the following, turn the key to run and let it set at least 1 minute.
If the Theft lamp flashes there will be a two digit code.
What is the code.
Taking the dash apart was not a wise move because you really don't know what's gong on yet and could have introduced more issues on top of what you started with.
Good luck..

A crank sensor is one of MANY possibilities for a "crank, no start" condition.
There's a reason for troubleshooting, it's to prevent wasting time on wild goose chases, too often caused by simple reports of a single occurrence.
