The truck will turn over but will not start. Every once in a while it will start and runs great when it does but the problem is getting worse.I replaced the fuel filter and fuel relay switch in the glove compartment. Still nothing. Is there a fuel cut of switch?

The truck will turn over but will not start-Next time it refuses to start-Do below

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine atleast 3/16 in away from ground have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, cap and rotor /distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, ECM, Ignitor camshaft and crankshaft sensors and computer. Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
