Default Engine just randomly stopped running.

The other day i was getting ready to go to a friends to help them move, i had my f150 started and idiling. its a 95' 150 6 cylinder 5 speed, single cab long box. it was running fine then it just stalled, i wasnt even in the truck. when i tried starting it again it would crank but it wouldnt start.

I have checked the distributor for corrosion and dampness, and it didnt have any. I have pulled all of the plugs and they are all fine, no flooding or dampness. and i have made sure that i am getting spark from the coils and each spark individually. Could this mean that i have carburation issues or that my timing belt has finally busted?

Any advice would be great, Thanks.
Trev.

If its cranking over faster than normal id say your timing belt snapped,

Default gas

the fuel filter my be the trouble, use some starter fluid or some gas in and empty lighter fuild bottle, put some in the air intake and see if it starts up.

if it does check to see if you have power leaving the fuel pump relay, then to the fuel pump let the truck set for 10 min then put your ear to the fill tube with the cap off and have someone turn the key to the on position don't start it,
you should hear the pump turn on for a few sec then turn off after it reaches the right pressure that tells you the pump has power and is getting pressure
but if its not getting past the filter.
the trash they are putting in the gas is cleaning the tank in the truck and in the ground
same with all veh lawn mowers every thing
