I have a 2002 chevy S10 4.3 6 cyclinder.
I have replaced the fuel pump, battery, coil, spark plugs, spark plug wires, fuel pressure regulator. I attempted to use staring fluid and no luck. This truck won't start

You need to check the basics of combustion; Is there spark at the plug wires? Do the fuel injectors receive the pulse to fire, from the ecu? Does the fuel pump turn on for a second, when the ignition is initially turned on? All of these problems I have mentioned are related to the ecu being faulty.
You've already eliminated the spark plug & wireset, distributor cap & rotor. Sounds like your car needs a tune-up, specifically, the PCV (positive crankcase ventilation) valve, and/of the EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) valve.
Components checked/replaced during a tune-up are: air filter motor oil motor oil filter breather filter fuel filter(s) fuel strainer PCV valve EGR valve spark plugs spark plug wires ECM or distributor cap & rotor cabin air filter transmission oil filter transmission oil engine coolant check all vacuum hoses and lines
