if fuel and fire are getting to the combustion chamber, the engine runs- so one of these things is NOT happening, and it sounds like fuel-

look down in the throttle body while someone cranks it- you should be able to see fuel going into it- if it runs when you dump gas in it, that should tell you something- but why did you replace the manifold? I can't tell what is going on, especially after all that work has been done- but my best guess would be the fuel pump or relay- check to see if you have power going there-

And if your business depends on this unreliable truck, it is time to get something better-

I am have the exact same issue. I did the intake manifold gasket, valve covers, new cap and rotor, plugs and wires, egr,etc. After completion, cranks but no start. Have proper fuel pressure and good spark. Timing was checked and was good. Makes no sense. Tore back down 2 more times and reinstalled. Still not seeing anything wrong. I have done 4 others intakes In the past 3 months and no issues once completed. Any ideas would be nice.

Having same issue, fuel pressure 52psi and have spark at all plugs/wire. My brother was driving, said it starting running bad. He pulled over and that’s the last it ran. I thought it was the fuel pump, replaced that. Replaced plugs and wires NOTHING!!
