I have a 98 Chevy Astro that will not start, engine turns and turns with no
luck. Thinking may be fuel related? Any ideas would be appreciated.

rc,

Last time my ole '91 Astro did that it was the ignition module inside
the distributor. If it's got a carb like mine, one easy way to check it
would be to remove the dog house and top of the air cleaner and pour a SMALL
amount of gas directly in the carb... if it lights, then it's a fuel issue,
if not, probably the ignition module.

Good Luck<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

You need to verify:

1) Fuel delivery
2) Spark delivery
3) Ignition timing (if #2 is ok)
4) Engine timing/compression

It's one of those 4. Figure out which then we can take it from there!
