2002 Silverado won't start

After several years of faultless service -- the only exception was a starting problem due to a wet distributor cap, which was solved by washing and drying -- my "03" (mfd in 02 with a distributor ignition system) will not start. There is a spark at the two cylinders that I tested. Most puzzling is that it will not even hit when starter fluid is applied through the throttle body into the intake manifold. How can I determine if it is ignition or fuel?
Thanks, mn indy

Outcome found

After taking a pressure test that showed pressure of over 60 psi, the ignition system was re-examined. Although some spark was found at the plugs, it was determined to be weak. Upon replacement of the rotor, the
Silveraod starting immediatly. Surprise.
