Ok,
I've had a problem with "no bus" as mentioned in these threads:

It started with just non working guages occasionally. I never had any problems with it not starting. The truck ran just fine. I took the guage cluster out, tweaked the pins, packed with di-grease and reinstalled. Still no guages, but it runs fine.
I realized after reading through mat6669's thread above, that I had replaced the ground strap with some 2 guage cable when I replaced my exhaust manifold. He mentioned having problems after doing battery cables as well. I replaced the cable with another strap and now my truck won't even start. Granted, its been sitting for about a month. I tried jumping it and my busted ass harbor freight multimeter shows that its got a good charge.
I decided that the cps is the ultimate answer. It was recommended occasionally for the no bus issue, but is also a key problem with no starts. I replaced that this afternoon and had autozone test/recharge my battery. It still will not start. The motor is turning over it seems, but it just won't fire.
Just to rule out the nss, I put it in neutral and tried starting it. Same symptoms. Pissed off and wanting results, I pushed the pedal to the floor and cranked it. It finally fired up but ran like ass. After letting it idle for about 25 seconds, i just turned it off.
I might have to put her down if someone can't help.
