That is a possibility, but not the cause of it not starting. I'm going to give you a list of things to do. If it doesn't do what I tell you it's supposed to, then it's probably the problem.
1. Don't call me sir, I work for a living. lol
2. Turn the key on, but do not turn over.
3. Find the fuel rail and look for a valve like the ones used on your tires. Push in the button. if it just squirts a little, your not getting fuel.
Check relay, fuse, and pump.
If it sprays hard enough to blow your finger off of it, it's fine.
Don't forget to smoke during this process, it's good for the heart. Just kidding.
Next, open the oil filler cap on top of the Valve Cover. Look in there with a flashlight.If you have a V-6 or 8 you will have to do this with both sides. And turn over the engine, you should see the rocker arms moving, if not you blew your timing chain or belt. You will still get the timed spark, because it is controlled by a crankshaft position sensor most of chevys 91 and up engines.
If it passes both of those, then it's electrical. Replace the wires at this point, and then, well, I guess I should ask you if you can recognize an obd port, where it is located, by chance?

Yes sir, this is my friends vehicle and she said it just stop. She had it towed. She stated that the fuel gauge usually doesn't work. I brought over five gallons and according to the gauge, now reads full. I had her crank it over and I lifted the hood. That is when I noticed a spark from a spark plug wire to the soaked trans filler tube. I stuck a scrap of cardboard between the two, and no more arc. Could that particular wire be ruined, causing no spark and no start?
Thank you for taking time to provide this information. If the vehicle was out front I'd get to it. I won't have time to play around until after work thursday. I will follow up with this issue then. Again thank you for the help.
Got fuel?
