Default 95 LT won't start

My 95 LT 1 with Vortech supercharger and ignition controller won't start.
Ran fine day before , no fuel pressure and no spark although the auxliuary fuel is working. Main fuses all check good. My optispark is 8 months old. The battery and check engine light stay on after i try to start .Any help is much appreciated .

Does it crank? If no, try cleaning the pellet on the key. Having said that, you should at least have fuel pressure. Check for voltage at the pump. When you turn the key to "run", you should see voltage for ~2 seconds.

Yes it does crank. I checked all main fues blocks for voltage with ignition on ,
I have a Crane retard controller and it has power and the auxiliary fuel pump is working .
I don't know if the PCM actually controls the two , ignition and fuel pump ? The battery and check engine lights remain on after I try to start ?

Refer to my prior post...
