After that could notstart truck at all, engine just turns with no start, not even anykicking or combustion. Had a weak spark so replaced the wires coil,disct cap and rotor and plugs, so i have good spark to all 6 cylinderstested out good, there is fuel coming out of the tbi unit, i can hearthe fuel pump start and i replaced the pump relay to make sure that wasnot of issue, i have not been able to start car with starting fluid orpouring gas in...running outta ideas here...if you have a suspesion orsomething i should check please let me know!

Hello copewithit,
You have fuel and spark, so all that is left is the need for air (correct pressure) and timing. Maybe a loss of needed vacuum or pressure.... IACValve? Could it be a timing belt problem? Just some suggestions....
