Where does this plug go? Engine bay loom
Crank & Cam position sensor report signals to the ECU & if either signal is missing or erratic it could result in a non start situation. With it being a 3 wire connector = cam sensor in my book. Oil Sensor on older D2's was the old style RRC/D1/D90 blade type. Later D2's had a fuel injector type plug with only 1 wire going to it. Also if the Oil Sensor wire is unplugged = no oil light at all.

Solved!
My camshaft position sensor was snapped at the cable for about a year before traced it back and repaired it. Didn't run great and drove/idled with a pulsating vibration but never prevented a startup or driving 20k miles like that. Get your engine read or buy an ultragauge, it's an invaluable tool.
In that same neck of the woods is the oil pressure sensor, back behind the water pump. Cam position sensor can be done easily from under the vehicle, oil temp sensor can as well or from the passenger side above engine but you'll be working blind.
If it's oil pressure, your oil light will be illuminated on the dash. If cam position sensor, check engine will be on.
When doing some wiring in the woods once I accidentally managed to trip the ignition kill switch and it would crank no start. Find the button on the firewall and try pressing that, maybe something super simple like that.
Check that you're getting fuel pressure at the rail. [Edit, just saw you did that already.] Is fuel Pump energizing?
Good luck, others will probably have more spot on advice but these are what come to mind for me.

Still doesn't start.
I don't hear the full pump energizing. There is not pressure at the fuel rail.
1. Tried pushing the firewall switch on top for 5 seconds. (Not sure if key needs to be in position or any instructions about that switch)
2. Used started fluid to start for as long there was fuel. (means it has spark)
I was really hoping that it was the plug. I am planning to start a new thread about my no-start issue with more background info as to what took place with truck.
