2.3 trouble starting

So i have a 95 mazda b2300 and it is having problems starting. It cranks strong and when it starts it runs fine but right now it wont start. I've tried replacing the coil packs and that didn't seem to have any affect. Then i got curious and checked my fuses. One of them was blown and when i replaced it the truck started and ran just fine but now the fuse isn't blown and it still isn't running. I'm out of ideas now for what it could be and i was wondering if anyone would have any helpful ideas?

My ’95 2.3 Ranger wouldn’t start every once in a while, I would get out lift the hood and check some wires,g et back in and it would start.
I got rid of the truck without ever knowing why or how but I didi drive it for 5 years, nice truck it was.

My '96 did this for the longest time. I finally figured out it was the battery cables. Replaced both cables and never had another problem.
