PLEASE HELP FAST! Truck isnt starting....

OK so last night i left my fog lights on, and drained the battery.

i walk up and the lights dont turn on when i use the fob to unlock the doors and im like.... uh oh.

so i pull out my jump pack and my retard friend reversed the terminals when putting it on, I didnt see this at first, then i saw smoke so i grabbed them off right away.

i never tried to crank it like that, and it was only for a few seconds but i feared the worst.

my fears were confirmed when i got it jumped and the starter cranks like crazy but its almost like there is no fuel getting in.

so i got it towed back to my apt. this morning i checked ALL the fuses... and theyre all fine, literally every last one, both inside the engine bay and inside the truck.

PLEASE HELP FAST, I wanna go wheeling today and / or to meet up w the group asap..... thanks

So it spins, you need to know if you have spark, if yes then you need to know if it is getting fuel. Do you have a timming light or some other way to check for spark?

Its best if you have a spark tester If not you can just pull the plug, put the wire on it and ground it out to something. Look to see if it is sparking.
