Did you check the fuel pressure pump on the frame rail for power and ground? have you verified no ignition spark to the spark plugs? have you checked for fire from the coil to the distributor cap? does the check engine light come on when you turn the key on? have you check for injector pulse and power at the fuel injectors? if the fuel pump won't come on and you have no ignition fire and no injector pulse, all of these systems are triggered by the ECM.

Spins over, wont fire. New fuel pump, ignition coil, and ICM. Cleaned cap and rotor. still wont fire

Is there spark getting to the spark plugs ? Is there fuel pressure, check with fuel pressure gauge . Is there an anti-theft system light lit on the dash ? SECURITY light ? Can a scan tool communicate with the vehicle modules ? PCM , BCM , ABS , Air bags , etc... You should test before replacing parts ! No Start Diagnostic Basics EricTheCarGuy

2001 blazer wont start . gas gauge quit working ,fuel pump wont work will work suppling power to port in fuse panel. ecm fuse ok,relay ok

Sounds like the ignition switch has gone bad and will need to be replaced. Turn the ignition switch to the on position again and check to see if there is power to other items like the transmission and accessories. If there are a few items that are not working, good chance that the ignition switch has gone bad and is there any security light on the dash flashing???

Thank you for using fixya and keep us posted.

Car will not start has spark but wont fire

You need to check and make sure you have proper fuel pressure on the fuel rail. Not sure what engine you have as you did'nt list it but should be at 47 to 51 PSI for the 2.4L and 2.5L engines. Hook gauge in and turn ignition key to on but no start then off and then back on and read the gauge. If not within the specs listed here then your fuel pump is either no good or if not pressure at all could be fuel pump relay.

Fuel Tanks reversed , Gauge not reading?

The Ford trucks were recalled for the tank switch replacement. Somehow the switches would pump fuel from one tank to the other. This would cause the one tank to overflow and or result in a fire from hot exhaust temps coming into contact with the fuel. Check the dash tank switch. It is probably bad.
