Re: 96 4.3 wont start

Check for spark first. No spark? Ignition module is toast. Does the rotor turn when you crank it? If so then the timing chain is good. If the rotor is not turning during cranking, the timing chain is toast.
If the engine turns over fast like no load on it, the chain is my first guess.

Can you hear the fuel pump prime with the key on?
