i know this has happened to me on my truck before. i just started pulling my plug wires of the cap one at a time and they were starting to corrod (from moisture i guess) so i cleaned them up and it started rite up.
dont know if this is your problem but its easy to check

could be bad gas, but usually it would pop or fart a bit if the gas was bad.

can you hear the pump turning on with the key?

I just replaced one of my injectors, it would let so much fuel thru that it would soak the plug and it wouldnt start. it would crank but no start. sometimes the t/b sticks and you have to press lightly on the gas when you crank it to let the air in for it to start.
