Truck was running fine no problems whatsoever. Drove home parked it made an appointment came back to start and just turns over. Have spark, fuel. Replaced ignition coil, plugs, wires, distributor cap and button. Also had ECM checked and it's fine. still won't start. It hasn't jumped time either.

Hi,

If you have spark, fuel, compression, and the timing is correct, it has no choice but to run. Do this little test for me. See if it starts for a couple of seconds using starting fluid. If it starts and then stalls, we have a fuel-related issue. If it doesn't change anything, then recheck for spark to the plugs.

Try this and let me know the results.

Take care,

Joe
