Help!! Truck Won't Start

I finally happened. My truck left me stranded. AAA got me home and now we have to figure out what's wrong. Any help will be appreciated. The truck turns over like it always has and tries to start. I fires once or twice and dies.

Try pressing the gas slightly. If it starts, you need a new IAC.

It was firing a couple times with gas gas pedal a little pressed but now it just turns over and won't fire at all. I did try starting fluid to see if I had spark and it tries to start and dies
I had trouble like this years ago and cleaned the IAC to clear it up. It's most likley the IAC but I don't want to waste $50.00 to find out it's something else.
