Need LT1 help ASAP

Well 2 day I was driving home from work when out of no where my car turn off so I drift to the emergency lane. I chill for 2mins and turn the key and just doesnt want to start. It cranks but doesnt wanna turn on. What do you guys think it is? Also less then a month I did my tune up. Any opinion of my problem. Car has 160k and only trany and opti and water pump have been change recently. I been running nitrous for 2 months so hopefully my block no out but let me know what you think it might be.

Can you here the fuel pump cycle when you turn the key?(just turn the key dont crank it over).

Check coil, coil wire , Ignition module, major ground points.

Same thing happened to me...it was the Ignition Control Module. I had recently changed the coil...but check if you are getting any spark, try that and if you are getting spark move onto the next thing, fuel etc.
