I have a 1993 chevy S10 engine size 2.4 and the truck simply wont start. one day after i got home the truck wouldn't even turn over even after i drove it a short while ago. it doesn't respond when i push the clutch pedal in. i know the battery has a good charge, i believe the transmission isn't the problem because it doesn't slip and it still has good pull. but the truck wont start when the clutch is pushed in or when i tried to pop the clutch on a hill. any possible options?

Dash lights. When you turn the key to crank, do the dash lights dim or are they bright. If they dim, low voltage is the culprit. If they stay bright, you need to check the starter solenoid for a signal to engage. If the wire is dead, you will need to backtrack the circuit to see if it's wiring, starter relay, clutch switch, or ignition switch related.

if these areas are easy to check with minimal equip and prep i would do it but if it requires more time and such what would be the best course of action?

Probably the best thing to do first would be to test the battery. Like Steve mentioned,too low of voltage & it's not going to crank and if the voltage is real low then it won't run either.
Get the battery tested, if it turns out to be bad, once you get the truck started you may want to get the charging system checked or if you have a voltmeter, hook it up & make sure you're in the 13.8 to 14.8 range while it's running.........

Listen to steve and sidom as they are good at this and know what they are doing. I have merely a simple suggestion to offer that may help. You have a side post battery, and those terminals are evil about getting corroded and hard to clean. Use a pick and physically separate the bolt from the terminal. Now work the rubber end off the metal piece. Clean with anything needed until a shiny brass shows on both sides of the terminal and the bolt is clean too. If in doubt, blow 5 bucks and get new bolts. Use a 6-point socket to tighten them to prevent damage. These terminals need to be opened up and cleaned well as they are good at hiding corrosion and with a bad connection wont allow you to start the truck. When you have everything clean, do yourself a favor and coat all items liberally with dielectric grease (another cheap item) to prevent a future problem. I've fixed 3 no-starts on GM vehicles this month by doing just that. The weakest link of any electrical system is its connections. They basically must be perfect or trouble is coming. While cleaning connections, get the battery tested as suggested and when you do get it running test the charging system. Please post back with results, whether this fixed it or not. A lot of people read these and knowing what worked for others can help them too.
