2001 Chevy S-10 Blazer.
4 Door, 4X4.
Fuel filter 4 months old.
Fuel pump 2 yrs old.

Wont start unless carb is primed, then idles normal, revs in park.
55 psi fuel pressure at idle.
In Reverse will run fine. Drove around the block, no hesitation.
In Drive will sputter and stall. Then must be primed again to start.

This is a common problem. You don't have enough fuel pressure. If you didn't use a Delco pump, it wouldn't surprise me to be gone again.
