Crank/No start

Truck was running fine a little over a week ago. Went to start it yesterday and no dice. It cranks and cranks but won't start.

- Fuel pump primes with key on
-Fuel pressure seems ok. 40+ psi at the rail with the key on.

I was running out of daylight yesterday and we are now getting slammed by a snow storm but I'm not sure what else the problem could be. It doesn't get driven much and like I said it ran a little over a week ago so I'm not sure what could have broken as it was literally just sitting lol

I ran the battery down trying to start it so it's been in my house charging overnight. I also borrowed a booster pack to put on as well.

I have a noid light to check for injector pulse when it stops snowing. Cant imagine injectors themselves have become stuck in such a short period of time.

Plan to pull a spark plug to see if it's fouled with fuel and also check for spark.

Is there a coil or ignition module that can go bad on these cars? Where is it located?

Just trying to cover all possibilities because I need to get this thing going ASAP.

Is your tach bouncing while your trying too start ?If not thats usually the ignition module .Both the coil and the module are easy to change out just make sure you use the thermal white paste on back o the module . The module is under the distributer cap use ac delco I think its 5.5 mm bolts and follow the center wire from the distributer thats the coil .

TGO - did this ever get resolved? Sounds similar to my issue - I drove my Sy recently about 500m and let it sit for 5 days. It'll act like it wants to start but won't.

Only other thing I can think of is that when I tried to put a new fuse in in the DM/Horn slot..it kept blowing the fuses..so after the 2nd one, I stopped inserting fuses...hopefully it didn't short anything out.
