Help truck wont start
So i got this 1999 4.o the other day everything was going fine till i tried to start it last night and it did nothing. Every thing comes on when u turn the key but wont turn over.
I tried to figure it out today i put a hot wire to the start to see if it would at leat crank and it does and i do get spark. The fuel pump and the ignition just dont work, i put a little gas in the manifold and it does fire and i also noticed the THEFT light if blinking alot when the key is on but i dont have any secrity system.
If anyone can help or knows whats wrong i would really appricate it.

The passive anti theft system call PATS requires a Ford key with a transponder chip in it. You can't just use any copied key. More than likely you have to go to the dealer and have the system reset and new keys programmed and made. Not cheap. If you lose keys often then buy extra keys from ebay with the chip in it and program the computer to recognize them. There is a procedure to get the computer to read them but I don't know it off the top of my head.
