1999 chevy blazer wont start

I have a 99 chevy blazer with a 4.3 vortec that wont start,so far i replaced the cap,rotor, fuel pump,spark plugs,fuel pressure regulator twice,crankshaft sensor,fuel meter body,and all 6 injectors.I verified that i have spark and fuel,but fuel pressure bleads off with the key in the on position as soon as the fuel pump quits running after the 2 seconds.I have pretty much given up on it and emptied my wallet,if anyone has any suggestions please let me know thanks Chad

THE FUEL PUMP IS BAD.

if your losing fuel pressure after the pump runs the drain back valve in the pump has failed.

and i doubt that you are seeing enough fuel pressure to run a vortec engine.

low fuel pressure equals a non running vortec

1999 chevy blazer not starting

Check the plug wire from the ignition coil to the distributor cap.
If you haven't already, replace the distributor cap and rotor.
The GM Vortec's have issues with moisture getting inside the cap and rotor and causing problems.

I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jason_00b31cc8f593773a

1999 chevy blazer wont start turning over but not firing replace distributor cap and rotor any througts on it

first check for spark disconnect any plug wire from the spark plug remove the spark plug from the engine reattach the plug wire and set it on the fender well DO NOT TOUCH THE PLUG OR WIRE AND CRANK THE ENGINE AND SEE IF THERE IS A SPARK BETWEEN THE ELECTRODE AND ARM. if there is no spark you have an ignition problem check for 12v at distributor.
if you have spark then check fuel pressure the fuel pump could be bad.

Changed spark plugs in my 1999 chevy blazer and it wont crank over. Gapped the plugs to specs...should I've also changed the wires, cap & rotor also?

When you go to an auto store and they give sell you spark plugs they should already be gapped to spec. There is no need to adjust the gap. This may be the reason your car will not start. I would try new spark plugs first then wires. Since the vehicle is a 99 it probably could use a tune up (spark plugs, wires, coils, cap, rotor, chassis lube, and transmission fluid check and flush if needed). Also make sure that the engine block ground strap is in good condition and that there is no corrosion covering the ends of the ground strap. The ground strap is typically located near the firewall and is directly attached from the engine block to the frame of the car.

Blazer wont start

You are getting good spark to the plugs? Have to assume you retimed it after you changed the rotor and cap. Wires are good?

Could be the ignition module, but they usually are either good or bad and not itermittent(sp)...

If it trying but just not 'catching'.. seems like a timing issue, or possibly the coil (although coils tend to be good or bad as well)
