So, the starter will crank the engine strong, but the engine won't catch and run.
1st question: Is the engine getting fuel? This is best checked with a fuel gauge at the fuel rail. If a gauge isn't handy, can you hear the fuel pump (or pumps, depends on year) run breifly when you turn the key on?
2nd question: Is the engine getting spark? Quick to check with a timing light.

ever time my beast did this.. the problem was that stupid fuel interuptor gadget that is mounted on the floor of the passenger side at the top left hand edge of the end of the carpet. its alittle black box about the size of a cigarette pack with a white button that resets it... when this thing goes out it knocks the power out to your electric fuel pump and your dead in the water mine finally shorted out and i just by passed the whole thing.... i may get soaked with gas and burn up in a crash but my truck starts....
good luck
