Drove the truck early this morning to get newspaper. It was pretty cold (TEXAS) this morning but the truck started normally. Returned home parke the truck. Later (afternoon) tried to drive the truck agin but it won't start. It turns over fine but isn't starting where should I start.

Do below to determine if its fuel or spark problem, then get back.

Get a carb cleaner and spray into the carb or the throttle body on an EFI. Did it start and die? If not disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -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, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors- Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
