Default Need help, another truck that won't start!

I'm desperate, this friday I took her to the track and got some good e/t times..... and on the way back, I felt she was acting up kinda funny (not her usual "cam loping sound"). She started to turn off easily just by turning the steering wheel.

I woke up yesterday and was going to the store,....fired her up good,.....smelling fumes as usuall (cold start), gave a little breathing then let go and turned off.......normal. Fired her up again, stayed on a while.....let go off the pedal and turned off again. But this time, she didn't start anymore, it just cranks. I checked the fuse box and only found 1 fuse blown which is 02b/15a (don't know if it was blown already but put in a new one) still no start.

Fuel pump sounds, fuel is there........took out spark plugs filled with fuel so there is no spark. What gives? I know I read another thread like this but the guy didn't post anything more about it.........any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Change the crankshaft sensor. It is on the side of the block should be fairly easy to get to. Make sure the wiring going to that sensor is not damaged. Maybe your headers fried the wire but I doubt it.

Changed the crank sensor and still nothing........I guess the code was old.
What I found was something from inside the steering column is causing a short. The truck finally started but I have to move the steering wheel. When it's on, the check engine and security lock lights are on........then I move the wheel again and it cause the truck to idle funny or just turn off.

What can it be? Ignition switch perhaps?
