Ford, Explorer, 1996 ,186,000 miles, V6

My car just will not start all of a sudden. It will crank and sound like it's about to start but it just won't. I looked at the fuel-pump switch and it's still engaged. But it sure sounds like that's the problem because in the owners manual it has a section that talks about if your car will crank but not completely start. Please help, thanx
