Default turns over but wont start

Well, the ol' gal left me stranded at work today. Started up just fine this morning and ran well coming to work. Went out to start her and she just cranks and cranks nothing at all from the motor. Its dark out so I am waiting on a ride home and will check her out tomorrow in the sunlight. Thought I would post on here and see if anyone had any ideas before I started on it.

1996 1500 Sport 5.9L Auto

THANKS!

Need to see what you are missing. Spark, fuel, or both. If both, check the ASD relay in the PDC..... just swap it with another one.

No fuel coming from the valve on the fuel rail, I will have to wait till tomorrow to see if there is any spark. I didn't bring any tools with me.

It's been a pretty hectic couple of days so I haven't been able to do anything with the truck. Went out today and hit the key just for ***** and giggles and she fired right up. This "arctic freeze" they are talking about on the weather channel must have had something to do with it. Now I just gotta figure out what it was. Any ideas?

Had the same issues just a few weeks ago. Changed out the fuel pump and IAC, runs just fine now. Check the pressure in your fuel lines.
