She won't start!
The engine turns fine and when you turn the key, you can hear the fuel pump for a second but, I don't know if that's long enough. I'm stuck at a campground in Virginia 650 miles from home.
I'm on the camp store computer and will check back later.
I did call Coachnet (like AAA for RVs) at 5:00am and they said I'd have to wait until tomorrow for them to contact a Ford dealer.
I need to be at work in Newport, RI tomorrow. Any ideas why she won't start???

I'd also check to see if you have spark - pull a COP, stick a small screwdriver in the end and place near a good ground. Crank and see if you get a spark. If you do not, there's no power to the PCM, or no cam/crank sensor signal.

It's going strong again!
It turned out to be a loose ground to the fuel pump. Everything is great now and we made it home. Thanks to all who had suggestions. I knew I could count on you guys for help!!!
