sounds like ignition module inside of distributor cap under distributor rotor button.these do go bad and can easily be replaced.strong suspicion from your details that this is the culprit.

Turn on the key and listen by the fuel tank for the fuel pump to hum. A common problem is low fuel pressure. It will build pressure when the key is turned, use that fuel, and then the pressure drops. Kind of like when you're using a squirt gun that's getting empty.

SOURCE: 1983 chevy c10 turns over but wont crank

This sounds like you may have a fuel pump gone bad. Turn the key and listen for a pump whine, if you DO hear one then i guess i am wrong but this is what i would most likely consider first

SOURCE: Chevy 1996 s10 wont start it turns but that's it

test 1- sit with driver door open,turn key to ON not start- listen for fuel pump whine as it pressurizes system- if no whine- check fuse for ECM1 or 2,if whine check fuse for eng1 .or could be fuel relay

SOURCE: 1999 chevy 1500 stalled at 70mph turns over and has fuel but no spark

if if the crank sensor has been replaced and still reads bad it could be a timing issue,maybe timing has slipped or maybe timing chain has broke.. remove oil cap and look down into valve pan while someone tries to start it. if rocker arms do not move then this would indicate timing chain or gears are broke.... hope this helps and good luck....please rate this post
