Not starting? F150

I have a 2001 Ford F150 Lariat crew cab. It does not start. I was told it might be the Gem module by my locale mechanic due to possible moisture getting in it. I took it and the fuse panel out looked it over there was no sing of moisture. I put them back in. The truck started up and worked fine for about 3 months. then it wouldn't start again. I replace the GEM module with a used one and it worked for about another month before it acted up again. I took it out and the fuse box again. put them back in and it worked for a couple more weeks. Now It's acting up and not starting again. I took out the Fuse box and GEM module again looked them over and put them back in. Now it won't start at all. So my question is could it be a bad wire or connection instead of the Module? If so what wire? I'm stumped any help would be great.

Thanks.

It could be a lot of things since 'won't start' is pretty non-specific.

The engine cranks over. When it does start it is immediately. when it doesn't it cranks and cranks.

Okay, it's an intermittent "Cranks but does not fire". That eliminates the starter circuit.

What else? You have to have fuel, air, and spark.
