Default 2004 Sport Trac 4.0L SOHC

So, I was driving today and my truck sputtered and died on the side of the road. She tries to crank up but sounds like either no spark or no fuel. I had her towed home.

Here is what I have checked and tried.
Disconnected fuel line to fuel injector bar to verify fuel is getting to the injectors. Plenty of fuel getting there.
Checked spark. Plugs sparking fine.
Put plug back in and tried to start and then checked plug for gas. No sign of dampness on plug.
Checked fuses for ignition system and all are OK.

Any ideas?
Is it possible for the injectors to all clog at the same time?
Could my timing chain have slipped?

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Eric

A "GREEN"/BAD ground will keep all of the injectors from working. To verify if it's an injector issue, spray some fuel into the intake to see if it fires up. If it does, then start looking for a possible ground issue. You may need a wiring schematic if you ans see anything obvious. Check the grounds coming off the battery and the body grounds.
