    . Check all under hood and under dash fuses with a test light or multimeter.

    . Check for spark. If none, consider replacing the Ignition Control Module and coil.

    . Check for fuel. Can you hear the fuel pump run, when the ignition switch is turned to ON?

    Fuel pump working great. All fuses good . Will spin until battery gets weak which seems to be very little time. If jump start seems to start every time. When battery fully charged will start every time. Alternator is charging. Just wouldn't think a weak battery would keep from starting as long as spinning starter. Haven't tested battery since does spin engine.

    When the engine is running, the alternator should produce 14 to 15 volts. If less than that, replace the voltage regulator/brush assembly.

    Alternator works like supposed to with right at 15 at all times. Battery seems to not hold charge for long but also just won't fire when spins.

    It sounds like the battery is bad, which most auto parts stores will test for free.
