CHEVROLET TRUCK

I have a 1998 chevy 1500 2 wheel drive truck with a 4.3 L engine and 140,000 miles.
I parked it in the drive and when I wanted to start it, it wouldn't start. The starter keeps turning over but the engine won't start.
There are no unusual noises, and the truck was working fine when I parked it.
I'm lost as where to begin.

Lets disconnect a plug wire or 2 so that we can check for a snapping blue spark while the wire is grounded to the engine and being crank over-Do you have spark- If so crank it over again this time listen to the injector/s are they clicking? I need to know this before we can continue. If we don't get a spark and injector PWM were in deep trouble, further diagnosis is needed.

Thanks for responding and offering your advice. I've fixed the problem, it was a cracked roter cap. Everything works fine now.
