I have a 90 GMC s-15, 6 cylinder. Went to store and wanted to stall on the way home. Made it home, and never cranked again. Spark plugs and wires been changed. Distributor cap been changed. After looking at it again. It seems that the coil is getting power to it, but from the coil to the distributor...nothing. The coil is brand new also. Could it be the fuel pump or the relay? I've tried starting it up by using jumper cables. The truck turns to start, but nothing. Any ideas where to look? :banghead:

If no spark.
And no spark from coil.
Check
Coil or ign module or dist pickup coil.
If new coil is a know good new coil I would check the ign module in dist.
Next check the dist pickup coil in side dist and check dist rotor for turning when cranking.
Also check dist shaft for side play.
Post back what you find.

Explain dist turning slow.
Is engine cranking good or is battery down?
Still no spark?
Does the dist rotor still point to no 1 cylinder TDC compression?
