1987 Nissan Truck 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual

i went to start my truck last night and when I turn the key it makes the usual sound like it will start but won't catch. I had it running that morning. Why? Thanks.

Next time it refuses to start-do below to determine if its fuel or spark related-

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, coil's resistances, cap and rotor /distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, ECM, Ignitor cam and crank sensors- Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
