I have an s10 with about 130k miles on it. I try and start it but all I get is the turning over. I can hear the fuel pump going on, and I get some sort of slow clicking while its turning over, but no on. Cables and plugs have been replaced but still nothing. What would be the issue.

Do below

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -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
