    Assuming your not out of fuel,in my own experience I have found that the distributor cap tends to go bad a lot on the 4.3 with the flat cap especially if any kind of moisture is present you might have spark but not enough its about 25$ for cap at autozone

96 blazer.4.3 ltr 4x4.new crank sensor.new fuel filter.new coil.got fuel and spark.still won't start

How about the fuel pump...are you getting the fuel to the cylinders? Is the fuel making it through the fuel line through the fuel filter? Drop a few drops in 1 cylinder, if it fires, you have a fuel problem. Does it turn over? If not check out the motor starter!

Blazer has no fuel pressure but pump kicks on

In the past I have seen fuel pumps that would run on the bench but wouldn't work in the gas tank. Sometimes you can bang on the gas tank and get the pump to start working, the problem is usually bad brushes. In the past I have cut open an electric fuel pump, those little brushes were wore down to the nub.
If you have good voltage and ground at the fuel pump and no pump action, suspect the fuel pump. Fuel filter is good, I didn't look to see if inline fuel filter? Fuel lines aren't clogged? Don't disconnect any fuel lines unless your sure, no fuel pressure.

2002 Blazer will not start. It fires and sounds like it is going to start every time I turn the key, but will not start. Sometimes it sounds like it starts, but dies immediately. (within 1 or 2 second

if you know its getting fuel then lest talk about spark check the spark plug wires and the spark plugs if you got spark see if your getting air check the air filter if its to dirty it wont start beacuse clean air wont come through

Fuel filters do not clog up like they used to because unleaded gas is so clean.You should try the fuel pump relay first.Greg

My 1996 blazer wont start

Time to replace the fuel filter. It's not a hard job actually. And it's a VERY common thing to go wrong. I'd change the fuel filter and then run some fuel treatment through the tank afterwards. Believe it or not, I've noticed that a nice bottle of fuel treatment really conditions a fuel filter well.

Hope this helps you out.
