If the engine is cranking and you have fuel the next thing to check is to see if you have spark. If you have spark the next thing to check would be the timing. Hope this helps. Backyardmechanic

There should be an ignition maxi fuse under the hood on the driver side fender well. If thats blown it will kill your fire. good luck!

Suggested Repair

Confirm the engine has spark; if it does, check ignition timing. Also inspect the ignition maxi fuse under the hood on the driver-side fender well, since a blown fuse can eliminate spark.

Conversation Summary

A 1998 Chevy 1500 4x4 cranks but will not start despite a new battery, alternator, fuel pump, and fuel filter. Advice was to verify spark and then check timing, and to inspect the underhood ignition maxi fuse because a blown fuse can kill spark.
