Alright this isn't an XJ question but I tried other forums and couldn't get help. If yall know anything about this please help-
I have a 1990 K5 Blazer with a 350 V8.
It was running great all day and I went to lowes to grab something and when I came out it cranked up and immediately shut down. I attempted to start it but it just turns over and over and over but doesnt actually start.
I checked and I'm getting fuel, changed brand new plugs and wires in the parking lot and I'm getting good spark, and tapped the starter but it won't turn over. What could it be? Please help and thank you

You said it was turning over, but then you said it won't turn over. Check the ground from the battery to the block, and also check the + battery cable to starter, make sure it's not shorting out. Then check your fuses and the wiring harness on pass side front of engine for any broken wires.

It's not if its turning over. Check the harnesses and fuses. Not sure exact circuit or what it's called since I left by blazer at home tonight, but I had a problem with a broken wire shorting out one of the ignition fuses. you've got fuel and spark right? Check the cap and rotor for cracks or moisture.
