You may have to take it to a dealer or someone that can reflash your pcm to a un corrupted stock tune. This is only if you are having cable problems.

BTW The past cable problem that happened was for the 1997-2003 f150 models.
I DO think the "blank screen" could easily be a damaged cable problem Lars, especially if he sees physical damage. I'm sorry he tried to reprogram the PCM through it.

But still, why would a corrupted program only effect starting? I'd actually expect the truck to not start at all if the program is corrupted.

If the engine turns over normally, maybe a PATS key problem? This is part of the program in the PCM, from something I saw recently. F-One-Fiddy, look at this post: http://dygytalworld.ehost-services13...30&postcount=4 You MAY not be getting all the symptoms talked about here, but, after the key has been in the ON position for a while, take it out and go get a cup of coffee without starting the truck. Then come back and see if anything's improved.

It can't hurt to try this.
