I have a 1996 Chevy S-10 SS, my question is the engine is turning over but not firing, or starting. I Started the truck and turned the fan off of high and as soon as I touched the switch, it killed the engine. The voltage gage also reads nothing. The battery is not dead, but when I turn the key the engine will turn over but not fire.

Do below to determine if its being caused by fuel or spark problem.

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine atleast 3/16 away from ground-have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs,coil's resistances,distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
