How do I check spark with the annoying coil pack setup? My truck has been running fine and just keeps cranking this morning fuel pump primes the rail I can hear it and got an eyeful of fuel from the shrader valve on the rail. I have to be a at work In 2 hours need to figure this out.

Chances are pretty good you don't have spark, and the crank sensor is the most likely cause.

Nothing. Just harder than pulling out a spark plug with a distributor based system and checking spark. Anyways, already fixed it. Was the crank sensor and was easy.
