Default truck just stopped running?

Truck has been running just fine, until I started it today and was traveling about 30 MPH when it just quit.
I have fuel coming from the fuel filter reservoir, but will not start. Turns over just fine. I have cracked the #3 injector, but still nothing.
I have had no issues with this truck. It has approx. 122000 miles on it. Fuel tank is 1/2 fuel.

Need help ASAP

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks.

Joe

Can you explain that better? There's no such thing as a "fuel filter reservoir" just a fuel pump assembly and the tank. Are you getting fuel to the injectors, whats the pressure at? Should be around 49psi.

listen for the whine of the fuel pump at ignition on.
test for fuel pressure at the test port of the rail, drivers side above valve cover. catch in rag. don't smoke.
try giving it a shot of start fluid down the throttle body.
try pressing the gas pedal to open the throttle plate to bypass a closed IAC.

test for spark at the plug.
test for 12v and ground at the coil. the ground is switch open/closed by the pcm.

in 98/99+ check for CEL code display in the odometer with ignition on-off-on-off-on
