Engine not starting?

For the previous month, my 1985 chevy van would start and get me somewhere. Right down the street I shut off and it may start again, but any distance or time that the engine heats up, it would not start for 4-5 hours, and then start again. Now it has stranded me after work and I went back the next day sure that it would and it didn't. I pulled a plug wire and cranked engine but saw no spark, I replaced ignition module and coil, but still have no spark. Also I know that my rotor is turning in distributor. Please my vehicle is 20 miles from home, and I have no ride to work now. Any advise for me to check next?

my husbands 85 chevy van started having problems starting. He would jump it and weakly it would turn over untill last week when it died compleatly. He checked the battery by putting it in my car and it started fine. He took the starter out had it tested and replaced it. Now the van makes a clicking sound when we try to start it and no amount of battery jumping helps. When he was trying to fix it the negative ground wire from the battery ignited and set itsself on fire. Any clue what would cause this? And any clue what the overall problem is? Thanks

Engine has spark, engine fires on occasion, wont start with starting fluid

My problem is that my van wont start. When I turn the key I get nothing, not even a click. I have a voltometer and the battery is reading full voltage. The starter is getting 12 volts to it but the remote wire going to the starter is only getting 5 or 6 volts. I can start the engine by touching a screwdriver from the main battery post on the starter to the remote post but turning the key does nothing. Ive replaced the starter, one of the inline solenoids and the ignition switch but nothing seems to help!

Its a 454 engine and the lights work fine when its in the crank position. Im not at the vehicle now so im not sure what the voltage on the solenoid is. If its something that needs to be known I can go look sometime in the next few days.

We just did a tune up on my friends 1984 Chevy G-20 Full Size Conversion Van. It has a 305hp, V-8, 3-speed automatic transmission. We replaced the spark plugs, wires, pcv valve, distributor cap and rotor. The carburetor is a Rochester 4-barrel quadra-jet. We removed the carburetor and took it to a qualified mechanic and had it rebuilt. After getting the carburetor back from the shop and installing it, and getting everything hooked back up the way it came off when we started, the van will not start. It will "turn-over", but won't fire up. The Haynes Repair manual and the sticker under the hood call for the Spark Plug Gap Specs at 0.045". The spark plugs we removed came out of the engine with a Spark Gap of 0.035" - 0.037". What could be the problem with it not starting? Please help.
