5 YEARS AGO A NEW STARTER WAS PUT INTO OUR S-10. 2 WEEKS AGO I TRIED TO START IT BUT IT WOULD NOT START, I HAD TO TURN THE KEY OVER AND INSERT IT AGAIN IN THE IGNITION AND IT AGAIN THE TRUCK WOULD NOT START. THE BATTER IS FIND AND WAS RECHARGED; SOMEONE HAS ADVISED ME TO CHANGE ALL THE FILTERS IN THE TRUCK, WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST?

If its cranking over and will not start-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, Do you hear the fuel pump come On when you turn key on? If not check fuel pump fuse and fuel pump relay if so, 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
