Crank no start- 211 code 96 5.8
I’m having a crank no start condition, Entire distributor wires and plugs are new, I plugged in a new icm while old one was still mounted and still no start, i’m thinking ignition coil or crank sensor, any input is a help, thanks in advance. 1996 F250 5.8 auto

Have you tried starting it on starting fluid to make sure if your problem is fuel or spark?

Make sure your rotor is turning when cranking.

I will check, the whole assembly is brand new so not too sure if it’s the problem, but i’ve definitely bought new parts that weren’t any good
