Default At a loss

Alright y'all, I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this, because I've been stumped by this for the last day. Two days ago, my '96 was running fine, no codes, not acting up in any way. Then yesterday morning, when I went to start the truck, nothing. She'd crank until the cows came home, but never start. I tried to pull OBD2 codes, but there were no codes to pull. I checked the distributor, checked the fuel pump relay, switched between tanks (both of which have plenty of gas, just because everyone has asked). Everything checked out. I replaced the fuel filter, thinking it may be clogged. Still, crank and crank and crank, but wouldn't turn over. I checked vacuum lines and found a cracked hose running to the MAP sensor. I replaced the hose, but still, she won't start up.

I'm at a loss. Has anyone had to deal with something similar to this? Any ideas on where I could go from here? Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Mine did this but would eventually start then die, and it was the coil.

Check for fuel pressure, check for spark. If both of those are good it may be the TPS (when it's shot it can disable injectors-put into flood mode), bench test as well as test connections.
