Default Truck cranks but won't start! Help!

I have a 98 F150 4.6L. I attempted to start it the other day and got electricity but no crank. I checked the battery and it was pushing 12v. After doing some homework, I narrowed it down to the ignition switch. I changed it and now I get a whole lot of crank but it wont fire up. I'm confused as to where to go from here.

Try disconnecting the MAF Sensor. Can you smell fuel coming out from the muffler?

Yep, fuel first.

As in, are you getting any?

Check the inertia breaker.

So... Update. The starter switch was bad. I put another one in and it started right away. I still had the problem with the power but no start though after a day. I then ran back into the power but no start. I replaced the starter and the truck started perfectly for about 4 days. It's BACK to the power but no start again. Anymore suggestions?
