My question is how do you get a 2000 F-150 5.4 liter vin L 4x4, into the ready mode for starting? Please help me in this. I replaced one head and tensioners, as well as some other timing components.

Are you getting spark and fuel to the engine? It sounds like you lost one of them.

For detailed directions, go to our homepage under the DIY section. Also, even though you see pressure at the rail, you should confirm it is within spec.
