Default fuel problems

My truck broke down on me today on my way to school and I'm kinda stuck on what to go about it. It's getting spark, the fuel pump is kicking on but no gas to the throttle body. I was thinking about a fuel filter being cloged but not sure where to find the filter. Anyone else have ideals on ways to fix this problem?

I just remembered something it's getting fuel pressure i checked that so I don't think it's the fuel filter, but now I'm starting to lean towards a ignition coil?? It's always ran with a miss to it. Like a cylinder was mis firing and spitting and sputtering. But would an ignition coil cause it to get no gas?

where to start.....

ok, you have injectors. no fuel goes to the T/B.

how did you verify spark? and if spark is good then the coil is fine.

you may have fuel pressure at the rail but is it high enough? put a gauge on it to see. im not sure what the spec is for you, but its in my experience it should be around 35psi on most engines.
