1996 chevy blazer won't start?

Engine turns over but won't start. Plenty of fuel in the tank. Battery has been replaced. Air filter has been replaced. The only way i can start the car is when i spray Starter fluid in the throttle. what could it be?

The following parts have been replaced within the past year:

Spark plugs, PCV valve, fuel filter, air filter, distributor cap and rotor.

Already had Alternator and starter checked. Both are good.
