My engine wont start up why?

We checked it again this morning and we did get a code this time. P1351, so I got a new ignition coil & ignition control module but these didn't change a thing either. Please help I am tired of running to the parts store! All fuses and relays have been tested and my new fuel pump is working great with 60-66 psi, but still wont start.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your reply to my 2000 Blazer problems. I hate to bother you but I wanted to let you know I replaced the crankshaft angle senor and the engine started right up.

I love this site.

Hello, I was driving home from work and got on to the highway ramp. I put my foot on the gas and got up to about 60mph. When I put my foot back down on the gas I would not accelerate. My car slowly was coming to a stop and my battery light was blinking. The car was making a "goo-goo, goo-goo" sound as it was slowing down with a slight vibration feeling. I put my car in park and started it back up and moved probably 30 feet and the car completely died in a busy intersection during rush hour.

A jump would not start it back up, so I got it towed back to my house. Today a family friend who works on my car from time to time said it was my alternator. I bought a new alternator, and battery. The car still will not start.

He now thinks it is the fuel pump but I can hear the pump coming on. Can anyone please help me?

It was running fine, then it started to slow down on the highway, I got it turned to a side road and it coasted to a stop. When I tried to start it, it acts like it wants to start but just won't catch. Could it be the fuel pump?

Engine Performance problem
2000 Chevy Blazer 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic

2000 Chevy Blazer, 4.3L, Shut down on the expressway. I've replaced the plugs, cap and rotor. Pressure tested the fuel pump and it registered 62lb pressure when I turn on the ignition 50lb while trying to start it. I have spark. Sprayed starting fluid and poured gas straight in, still will not start. It just turns over. Battery is new also. Please help! Thank you! Bart.

I don't know how old the fuel filter is. The spark is blue.

Thank you for getting back to me. I do not have any of the tools you asked about but I will try to locate them. The truck doesen't even sound like it wants to start. No sputter or backfire. I plan to replace the fuel filter, but like you, I tend to believe the problem lies somewhere else. The check engine light is on but isn't it on at start up anyway and goes out when it starts, unless there is a problem. Is there a way to extract the codes, if so, let me know and I will get them. I know on some cars you turn the ignition switch on and aff a few times and count the flashes of one of the lights on the dash, but I dont know how to do that on this particulat vehicle. As for the injectors, I poured fuel and starter fluid directly in the carb, shouldn't I have gotten some sign of wanting to start? I will ask around about the injector tester light and see if I can borrow one. Thanks! Bart.

I am sure about the spark. I checked one plug wire on each side, screwdriver in the boot and held the screwdriver close to whatever metal I could reach on each side and turned it over and I got spark. Should I pull a plug and check for spark at the plug? The plugs are new. I'll be glad to check again. I started out with a full head of hair, I'm down to just a few strands now.

When I start my car it takes time to start up but it starts up. When the car is in park or crusing about till 35 to 40 it shakes alot bad. But when it gets above 40 the service check engine light doesnt go off but starts to blink. When I accelerate it lacks alot of power. What should I do? Or check?

My blazer will not start. It turns over fine so I don't think it is the battery. It seems like it is not getting any fuel to the engine. This has happened several times in the last 2 weeks. Sometimes there is no problem but other days there is. Even if it doesn't start in the morining, later that day when I go to try it starts right up. I'm lost.
