My 1991 chevy truck S10 Tahoe 4x4 cut out on me all of a sudden. It's not the fuel pump i checked. It's not the timing chain. There is no spark going to the coil or to the distributor. I changed coil. Still no spark to coil. Please advise.

Have you checked your relays or fuses? The Ign system does have a relay... That would be the first thing I check.Have you checked your relays or fuses? The Ign system does have a relay... That would be the first thing I check.

the timing spec is 0degrees at idle, also heres adiagram for timing chain, check oil preasure switch connection and wiring to control module.hope this helps.
Timing chain and gears may need replacing. Is the timing correct? Like number 1 at top of compression stroke and the dist. is on 1. How about a new coil too. Try a coil first. They go bad on these a lot.
You need four things for an engine to run.
1. fuel
2. spark
3. compression
4. timing (spark at the right time.
By your post it seems you have fuel and spark and you probably have compression unless you blew a head gasket. That leaves the timing. Check the timing and/or the timing belt or chain whichever you have.
small gas engines 101. gas+air+compression+spark=vrrrrrrroooooommmm i doubt its a fuse. make sure all cylinder have good spark. try and run some seafoam through the gas tank and i would look at the timing - im not sure how you know the timing didnt skip but that sounds like your problem.
Does it crank the engine ? If not take a look at the starter connections and the starter.Replace the starter if nessesary.
Ok, now that you got the most common problems out of the way, you should check for spark at the spark plugs. Remove a spark plug and attached to the wire. Get a good pair of rubber gloves and put the thread of the plug to ground and crank the engine. The spark plug should spark a bluish spark. If it has an orange spark the spark plug or wire may be bad. if it does spark fairly good.
Check the fuel pump. if it has an electric fuel pump you should hear it when you turn the switch to on. It is a whirring sound. if you can't hear it. the Pump is bad or the shutoff valve turned off the fuel system. Check it to see if the button is up. If it is then the valve clicked off. Press it down. If it is down and there is no fuel the fuel pump is bad.
If it is a mechanical pump, take off the hose to the carb if it does have one. crank the engine . It should pump gas right away.
If it does have spark or fuel to the sytem, then it is a sensor or other problem.You will have to get a trouble code for it. to narrow everything down.
Check the timing belt or chain to see if it is still good and tight. If it is not your timing belt or chain skipped or cut off. you will have to replace it.
I hope you can get some help from this info . good luck
Check the fuse under the dash. Did you replace the inline fuel filter? If not, you could loosen the line going into the filter then turn the key to the on position. The pump should run for about 2 seconds then the relay should kick off. Turn off the key for approx. 5 seconds then cycle key back on and the pump should cycle again. If you get a 2 second burst of fuel each time then the pump is cycling. Install a new fuel filter and check the grounded wire by the tank. Hope this helps. :)
