Default '94 S-10 Blazer Refuses to start

1994 S-10 Blazer with L35 Engine

I am fairly inexperienced working on cars, but I will do my best to step through the process so far.

About a week ago I went to use it and it just refused to start, engine turns over fine, no catch, no response from gas pedal. Figure it has to be spark or fuel delivery. After some basic troubleshooting the engine appears to be getting fuel (I have not yet been able to check fuel pressure), so I checked for spark. Sure enough, no spark from the coil, so I went and got a new ignition coil, slotted it in, and the car started right up, running better than ever.

That was two days ago. Ran the car yesterday just fine, got home, went to bed, got up to go somewhere this morning and sure enough it doesn't start. Check for a spark at the coil, and nothing. Can anyone give me suggestions on where to look for the problem?

As the post has no answer I'll jump in even risking that your problem has been fixed (hopefully).

They are notorious for intermittently failing the ignition module on the distributor.
I had one fail on me that way. Try a search in the forum.
