1997 Chevy Express V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic

When I crank the engine, it tries to turn over but the light comes on and says check gauges and also the fuel dial goes way past the full mark.

Scan the computer for code/s with or w/o the CEL on-also do below

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine at least 3/16 away from ground -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it.
