2.3 wont start

Hey, this is my first post here on FTE but I've been reading the great posts and they've helped me out. I am having a problem with my 97 2.3 4 cyl Ranger though. The problem is when I go to start it, it turns over but doesnt start. I pump the gas but it just doesnt start, then 30 min later it starts. I cant figure this out. I just had an oil change, the air filter replaced, and the battery replaced. It has happend three times. One mechanic said it seemed like it was the fuel injectors, pump, or filter, it just doesnt seem like the engine is getting any gas. He recomended a full tune up. Besides the above work I bought a new PCV, fuel filter, and some fuel injector cleaner. I havent replaced these because I just bought them the other day and was planning on doing it tomorrow. I hasnt been to long since the last time this happend. any ideas as to what this could be?
