88' pickup won't start?

I've got an 88' Toyota pickup with the 3.0liter V6 that won't start and need some input? I checked spark and there is lot's of it, checked fuel and pressure is good, what more can I check? Just before it died on me it started right up with no problems, but after moving it ten feet or so it just died out and wouldn't start up again? I feel I'm at my wits end, can anyone help me here? Thanks.

Air filter clogged or dirty? Try removing it and see if it starts.

Yup, tons of it too. I even sprayed some starter fuel in the intake and cranked it over but it still won't start even with that. It just doesn't make sense?

are the valves adjusted properly? Have you taken any compression readings? Timing chain or belt?

Hey peepo's, thanks for your recommendations and help, it turned out that t-belt slipped a couple of notches which caused the hard starting. I realigned the belt and now it runs as it should. Thanks again, toyo03
