1998 Chevy Cheyenne Automatic

Maybe someone can help me figure this out... I have a 1998 Chevy Cheyenne c3500 and for a while it would start then not start whenever it felt like it. I replaced a bad fuel injector and it ran fine for about 2 weeks, then wouldn't start again. I listened and figured out the injector wasn't working so I dropped the tank and replaced that again. Now it still wont start but the fuel injector is working. I thought maybe it was a timing chain issue but I took off the distributor cap and the rotor is still turning, so it must not be the chain. Any suggestions as to what it might be? I don't have a lot of money so I've been putting off taking it to a mechanic. Any help would be appreciated.
