drove it the nite before, ran fine. got up to go to work on the first cold morning of the season and it wouldn't start. turned over and over but wouldn't crank. battery was strong, not the problem.
had the flickering lights consistent with the IPDM failure a couple months ago, alot of ppl are having that problem and mine would have went soon anyway so i just went ahead and replaced it. didn't fix the problem.
pulled one of the plugs and hit the key. no spark.
anyone have any suggestions that would cause my truck to just die right out of the blue other than the IPDM and battery because both are brand new. it doesn't run AT ALL, just turns over and over. so think of something that would prevent spark not just run ruff, something that would keep it from running at all.
Also, was the spark plug grounded when you checked for spark? If you just held it in the air you wouldn't see a spark even if it was working.

Cam Shaft Sensor & Crank Shaft Sensor. No Signal would possibly cause No Spark. Common items to go, that prevent an engine from starting. They fail, and don't always give a code.

thank you very much for a decent answer. i had a family member suggest the same thing so i'm gonna price and try these.
also you hit the nail on the head with NO CODE. i didn't mention that but ur right it didn't throw one. would have been nice if it did.
