1993 SC2
Default Cranks but doesn't start?

One of my buddies 93 SC2 134,000 miles cranks over but will not start. When the key is turned to the on position there are no lights that come up on the dash board and the fuel filter does not run for a few seconds. I have checked all the fuses and they are all good. Does anyone have any idea what else i could posibly check for?

REWARD EXCELLENCE!

Pull the IGNITION fuse(s) and check again to be absolutely sure then if they're good put them back and now trace the red positive wire from the battery to the fuse panel and check for loose/corroded cabling at the fuse box. It seems that one cable is fine, the one going to the starter terminal but the other main cable to the underhood fuse box may be in question if not the main IGN fuse(s) that supply power to the ECM.

REWARD EXCELLENCE!

It very well could be your main feed is corroded at the fuse box.
