No start

Ok so I have a 2002 ford f250 5.4l so I broke my flywheel driving home one day. Replaced it but while I was waiting for the new one to come in I changed my valve cover gaskets new water pump cleaned the intake manifold and new oil cooler. Got everything done and put back to geather and went to fire it up and it just turns over I've checked my spark ( it sparks) got fuel to system compression checks out. I've checked all my plugs and everything is plugged in any help would be great. Thanks

Scan for any DTC's and make sure the crankshaft position sensor hasn't been affected by the work you've done so far.

There's been a few posts here somewhat similar where the CPS has been left disconnected. I've not YET done that but am sure my time is coming!

Right, start with crankshaft sensor. If it needs to be replace the you’ll have to loose 3 bolts from the a/c compressor in order to get to remove the sensor.
or at least in my 2008 f150 is behind it, Im not not sure about your location exactly.

If this van ran well before you did the flexplate replacement and it doesn't start now more than likely you've left something unconnected---its unlikely something broke or suddenly failed while the repairs were underway.

What trouble shooting process did you use to determine the ignition switch needed replaced? What do you mean "turn over when I jump off starter"?

Update

So I've been trying different things to try and figure out the no crank issue. All relays, neutral safety switch, new sensors for the cam and crank, a new ignition cylinder, starter alternator, and probley other new parts. But still nothing has changed. And it ran fine after the new fly wheel. Drove it to my brothers and then to the store a total trip of 20 miles and parked it at the house and hasn't cranked since. Is there something I'm missing. The only thing left I can think of is the pcm. And thanks to everyone thats trying to help!
