    take off your distributor cap and there should be a little sensor on the backside of it that need to replace that should be your problem if not you need a new fuel pump or a fuel relay and check your fuel relay wires from the fuse box to the wiring harness box on the firewall

That has a votec engine in it the fuel pressure is droping at knight and it takes 60 psi before the injectors will fire most likely cause fuel pump ,leaking injector ,or a feul pressure regulator

Check the spark plugs for the proper gap as the OEM recommends. Now another common problem that I've seen be the cause of this is ignition timing. However I'm not sure if it is possible on the 1996 Model or not.

This morning tried to start my 03 sierra 1500, i opened the driver door cab lights came on, put key into the ignition turned the key and the lights went out and the truck would not even crank nothing....

Try jump starting it. I suspect your battery is dead. After time they don't hold a charge as deep as they once did. Have it load tested to verify. Your lights and other options don't draw nearly what your starter needs.

1996 GMC 1500 truck, Vortec 6 cylinder. Will not start after being turned off for a few hours. Engine turns but won't catch. When I spray some starter fluid in the air filter line to the carb, it will...

I would lean towards the fuel pump, but... How dirty was the old filter??? if it was bad then the new one may have picked up whatever was left in the line. I guess I would go the easy route, replace the fuel filter, this time with the filter off crank the truck and catch the fuel in a mason jar til it is clean, you may need to drain the tank and try to clean it out if it is real dirty. Hope this helped Tim

96 GMC pickup w 350 engine, starts hard after like 8 hours.

could be your fuel pump relay you should check to see if the pump runes for about 3 sec. when you turn the key to the on position. It should if not the oil switch is turning on the pump after you achieve pressure.
if not check the relay. also with the pressure gauge hooked up check if your pressure drops off fast after you turn off the car. if so you need ether a pressure reg or a fuel pump.
hope this helps
