A flashing S3 on the gear selector that the PRNDL or gear selector position indicator. if the car crank and no start being a OBD 1 you would check the basic , ignition there has to be ignition spark, fuel , there has to be fuel pressure. If you have a tach display while you crank the engine you should see the tach needle just slightly bounce if you do you have ignition. there you check for fuel , and double check to see that the rotor of the distributor has hot shifted out of position. you also need to check the strength of the ignition as the coil tend to produce a weak spark
