Angry Not starting

Please help! My truck won't start - turns over - but won't start. Fuel pump fuse and fuel pump shut off both seem fine. I can also hear the fuel pump turn on when the key is turned.
Plugs seem good, not wet - therefore I don't think it's flooded. Tried holding my foot to the floor just in case - no effect.
Rotor and cap look ok, cleaned contacts just to be sure.
Has dual tanks - tried both - no luck.
Anyone with other suggestions?

F-150, 1993, 5 litre, 4wd

cycle the key a few times and then go out under the hood, on the fuel rail you will see a little black plastic cap, pull it off adn press the button with a small screwdriver and see if fuel spits out (might wanna stand back.) If you have fuel get a spark tester (looks like a pen) and hold it on the coil wire while the wifer or a buddy cranks the motor, Or if you're brave you can use a spark plug hook the coil wire to it and ground the blug real good (might wanna wear a leather glove too.)
