Default HELP truck ran fine last night now will not start

So i drove my truck all day yesterday it ran fine i park it for the night and it cranks over just does not try to fire i checked the engine codes and nothing no smoke when it cranks either. fuel filter is new and i have an electric fuel pump with plenty of fuel to the filter drain. i am going to crack an injector tmro see if i have fuel there. timing is fine 1/8 advanced.

check your injectors as you said see how its squirting. if it is just kind of dribbing or semi squirting out you got a problem it should squirt pretty good. if its not squirting right either your IP is bad, or your fuel shut off solenoid is bad

Check the shut down wiring, the wires still need to be connected to each other in some way even though you don't use the selonoid.

I checked over everything and i have no fuel to the injectors i checked the wires everything is hooked up. I don't understand if the solenoid was blowin and won't shut off with the key to shorted out and not letting it get fuel

Does the shutdown solenoid have 12 volts with the key on?
