Remove a plug wire. install a plug . lay it on the intake and have someone crank it while watching for spark. no spark. turn key on see if your fuel pump comes on . you should hear it. If not you could have one of two things bad.Ignition module which is inside dist or crank sensor by the crankshaft pulley. hope this helps. you can have the module tested at oreillys or auto zone.

Ihave problem with 92 gmc safari it drives sometimes during driving car buck like it.s out of gas . I'll turn igntion on and off real quick. and car drives ok. Ihave replaced fuel pump.

sounds like a bad plug wire, take a squirt bottle while the car is running then spray the wires down they should start arcing, also when you replaced the fuel pump did you replace the fuel filter

95 gmc safari replaced fuel filter van ran great now wont start

Since you replaced the distributor, are you sure it's properly timed? Hook up timing light and try to crank. It should show you where your timing mark is. It will also verify that you are getting spark.
You need to start a systematic check. Is it electrical, mechanical, fuel related? Need to do more checking and maybe we can get that puppy going.

Good Luck

Check your spark plugs. That could be one of the reasons. Or are you sure you purchased the proper Fuel pump?
