Car wont start, turns over fine but theres no feed of gas to carb

I have a 1987 chevy blazer that will not start quite often, one day it will and might work for 3 days or so and then it wont for a day or 2. I had someone turn over the engine while I looked to see if it was getting any gas and its not. It will start if I put gas in the carb by hand or spray it with starting fluid and then it will run fine. I have changed out the fuel filter and ignition coil, but I have still had the same problems. Is there something electrical like a relay that tells the car to feed gas to the carb when the engine is being turned over? I have been told the fuel pump is the problem but it doesn't make since to be that when it runs fine after i get it started when i put the gas in while someone cranked the car.

Take your distributor cap off and check the ignition module for loose wires or even a ground strap thats connected to the engine to the body , you can take the module to autozone and have it checked for free, it might have a crank position sensor thats going wacky

I Let my chevy Blazer run out of gas,nw it wont start even though the relay and fuelpump is working.

Is it electric or mechanical pump? Electric is with fuel injection. If its fuel injection, you should hear the pump run when you turn ignition switch. If u don't hear it, try starting, if no, turn off then on. It will self prime. Carburetor is with mechanical pump. I usually put few drops of gas in the carb. Start it, if no, more in carb till it stays running.

1996 Chevy Blazer won't start unless i add gas to the carb. Turns over fine but won't start.

You could try changeing the fuel filter its located under the drivers door mounted to the frame in the fuel line . But the most likely thing that it could be is the fuel pump. You could check fuse # 9 its a 20 AMP in the fuse box that feeds the relay located in the glove box but on this vehicle even if the relay wore bad the vehicle would still start it would just crank for a longer time . the fuel pump has a beck up power supply also feed from fuse #9 that runs through the oil pressure sending unit. So if its not the fuse its the pump or a bad connection at the pump and that is located inside the fuel tank witch needs to be droped to replace the fuel pumpGood luck with it but this is a common issue with blazers
