My truck is turning over fine but not starting. I tried jumping the battery but that was not the problem. I am also sure that it has gas. What could it be that is keeping it from starting?

Hello, have you done any basic testing? Have a helper crank it, while you check for spark at the plugs. If you have good spark everywhere, check fuel pressure, you need a gage for that.

I hesitate to tell you to try flammable spray in the intake, to see if the engine will try to start? There can be safety issues using that spray.

I was plagued with the same issue on my S-10, but it was intermittient. I replaced the distributor cap and rotor and it cleared up. In my case I think there was a tiny crack letting in moisture because it seemed to only happen when it was damp out. Hope this helps
