Default 96 s-10 won't start

I was driving my 96 chev s-10, It has a 4.3 with a 5 speed, and it died like someone had turned the key off. It cranks but won't fire up at all. checked for fuel, good. Checked for spark and found it to be weak. Anyone had this problem or have any ideas what it could be? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Check the fuel filter first, and then check the fuel pressure by using fuel pressure gauge. If it is low, the fuel pump is going bad. It either means that the fuel pump isn't receiving adequate power/ground or the pump itself is faulty. If it is faulty, replace it.
