that truck has seperate coils did you try one of them yet, sometimes injector reading can be very "iffy".

Yep, if you read my other post I was at an coil first and all kinds of thing started happing.I was told that an injector was better other an coi

That would be A, it cranks like it would still be set on a 1.5 adj. crank time witch it is not though. Bypass is a CODE Alarm XK04 Ford Transponder Bypass Module

Unplug your bypass and put the key in.....try R/S.

I would but it only is getting into the teens at night, so I'll have to wait till it gets colder next next.why do you think that it is the bypass? Since it is starting fine on the second go,

ok, I just got off the phone with whom I bought the unit from and he is sending me a new brain out at no charge. He said the some times the tach signal is so low that the unit does not pick it up, basically the brain is just jacked up, When I talked to Code alarm customer service they also send this could be the problem. So he is sending out a new brain on Monday and should get it by Wednesday of next week. So I guess I will wait and see, I am still open to suggestions if anybody has them.Thanks for the help!!Josh

So I put in the new brain two days ago, reprogrammed the tach, worked fine when i was testing it out. Now today it is about 0F degrees out, went to start the truck, it cranked it for four different times(cranking then stop, then re crank then stop, etc four times) and still did not start. Hit the start button again and it when through it four more times with out starting it, a total of 8 cranking attempts. Hit the start button again then on the first try it started the truck, it run for 3 or 4 seconds then shut off. Now what I did notice it that the theft light on the truck was solid red, when it was attempting to start the truck.I am thinking bypass but... why would the truck start fine when it is a little warmer outside and not when it is cold like this as when I was testing it it was working fine??Thanks againJosh

Solid red means the bypass is good. If the bypass were bad, the light would flash rapidly.That truck has an anti-overcrank feature from the factory.........that is, you can hold the key in the Start position as long as you want, and the engine will still start and run perfectly.You might just try switching to voltage sense mode, and adjust the crank time to 1.5 or even 2.0 seconds, and see how that goes.
