95 won't run

[bigbk]

New to the S 10 thing and thought I would say hello. Just bought a 95 w/ a 4 cyl that doesn't run, picking it up tonight... The owner said it lost power and died running down the road. Not looking for the cure all just don't want to waste time if I can help it. Here's what I know. No coolant in the oil. Seems to be getting gas but haven't check pressure yet. Not sure about spark. Thought I'd ask if anyone has seen this before. Thanks BK

mine did that and my fuel pump wasnt running...........the issue on mine was mice got into my truck when i was baggin it and chewed some wires also could be the oil pressure sensor or coils or plugs..........

Thanks, had thought of all of those except for the oil pressure switch. I'll start checking when I get it home...

idk if there the same but my 93 on the right side under dash has a test port to see if its ur fuel pump i would check that if ur pump doesnt come on

check the wire running from the coilpack to the crank sensor. i went threw hell trying to troubleshoot my truck (94 2.2) and the wire wasnt plugged in all the way. it will not run and you can easily think its something else

the oil pressure sensor wont stop it from starting and it wont allow the engine to idle but it will run with your foot on the gas.

Thanks for all of the suggestions but the aluminum thats splattered on the spark plug tells me it's a bit more serious... Good news is I have another 2.2 with 120 K on it waiting to go in. Should be on the road in a couple of days. Thanks to everyone who to a shot at fixin it...
