Turn key forward listen for the fuel pump to pressurize if you don't here anything then your fuel pump needs replaced and it's in the tank.

95 s 10 blazer w model 4.3 won't start one day couple days later fires up runs fine

When using starter fluid, remove air induction to the throttle body and spray a 1 to 2 second burst directly down the TB and promptly start.

Also a flooded engine will not fire, even with starter fluid. Pull a plug and see if it's soaked with fuel. If the plug appears dry and there is spark and it won't fire on starter fluid directly down the TB, then most likely the spark is too weak. Inspect cap and rotor for erosion. Look for signs of carbon tracks on the cap and the coil.

1996 gmc sierra 5.0l body control module? Have a crank no start condition.

You'll first need to determine whether it's a fuel delivery or ignition problem. The quick way is to remove the air intake at the throttle body and spray a 2 second burst of starter fluid directly into the throttle body and promptly start.

If it fires and runs for a few seconds then it's a no fuel issue. If no fire, then more likely it's a no spark, so pull a plug wire and check for spark.

1998 Dodge Dakota 3.9 new batttery , 44 lb fuel psi at rail , fire at spark at sparkplug cranks but doesn’t start

Check the injector connectors to see if they are receiving the signal from the computer to start. Will it start is you spray starter fluid into the throttle body?

I didn't run my dodge dakota for 3 years. and it won't start. ...it cranks but won't start..could it be the old gas in tank

That would be may first guess; the next being gummed injectors for the same reason. Get a can of starter fluid and spray dome into the throttle body while cranking the engine. If the engine fires and then dies, you can be somewhat assured that your problem is fuel or fuel delivery system related. If it doesn't fire on the starting fluid, then you need to check for spark and possibly compression problems.

Still I have not been able do find out the problem, My engine does not start, I have fuel in the line and spark, anybody can light me out what it could be wrong?

CAUTION - Be careful when using volatile fluids like starter fluid in the open as they are flammable and may start a fire; having a fire exstinguisher present is a good idea.
Pull back a small part of the boot just in front of the throttle body, open the throttle all the way up and spray about 3 seconds of starter fluid inside the manifold. Push the boot back in place and attempt to start it. If it starts or attempts to start but shuts back off, it has fuel supply issues which could be the injectors, wiring, the ecm, the fuel pump or other related electronics.

My car trys to start but wont turn over or fire as they call it.

check to make sure that your spark plugs are firing, if they are get yourself a can of starter fluid and spray into the throttle body while trying to start it. if it turns on, then your not getting any fuel, which may point to a bad fuel pump.

Won't start. turning, but won't fire.

If you think its fuel, spray some starter fluid inthe throttle body. If it fires up, you have a fuel problem, otherwise, check your spark plug wires, distributor cap and rotor. Also, check your fuses.
