There are several common fixes for this problem. Fuel spider is one, fuel pressure regulator is another. However, the most common and likely is your fuel pump module assembly. The fuel pump has to be able to hold pressure from the fuel tank all the way to the regulator. It works just like a foot valve on a well. When it goes bad it let's the fuel in the lines & fuel filter bleed the fuel back to the tank when not in use.when you try to start it after it sits, the fuel has to flow all the way back to the engine. Although the fuel pump is the most expensive of these items, more often than not, that will fix it. Fuel filter should also be checked and replaced if installing a new pump.

96 chevy blazer won't start.

I'm following another issue like this on a 1996 Jimmy.
This engine requires 60psi or more fuel pressure to run.
You need to have someone check the fuel pressure at the rail- throttle body with a gauge.

I have a 2000 chevy blazer LT 4x4 4 door 4.3L it turns over but won't start it's something electric i think ?

Have someone sit inside and turn key on, the fuel pump in the fuel tank should make a humming noise for a few seconds then shut off (primes the fuel system) until you start cranking.

2002 blazer crank but wont start

2 things that you have to check on no starts every time. Spark at spark plug and fuel. Turn key to run position and listen at gas tank for fuel pump to run you should hear a whining noise. This will only happen for 3 to 4 seconds then it will shut off until engine starts. You can turn key off then to run every 3 to 4 to listen for fuel pump. You may hear the relay click off in engine area even if pump does not run. Fuel pump failure is pretty common. If pump is running pull spark plug out or put a spare plug into spark plug wire and have someone crank engine set plug on engine and watch for spark. This will give you a starting point. Hope it helps.

2000 Blazer Cranks, Won't Start

First of all, a diagnostic wont tell them that there is arcing involved. I am thinking it is your crank sensor. It expands and retracts in different weather situations.It should make contact in all weather situations.

Exprees van just cranks over

I would chech the ingition module inside the distributor. It's a little black box on the bottom(inside). I'm assuming you have the correct fuel presssure coming from the fuel pump.

96 Blazer starts hard

IT IS PROBABLY THE FUEL PUMP. THERE IS AN ANTI-DRAINBACK VALVE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO HOLD THE FUEL PRESSURE WHEN THE KEY IS OFF. IT SOUNDS LIKE YOURS LEAKS. TO TEST IT, LET THE VEHICLE SIT LONG ENOUGH TO ACT UP. KEY THE VEHICLE OFF TO RUN THREE TIMES BEFORE CRANKING IT OVER. IF IT STARTS EASY, YOU CAN BET THE FUEL PUMP MODULE IS THE PROBLEM.

96 Chev Silverado having to crank 3 - 4 times before start

take an ohm meter reading on your spark plug outputs between the three coils (if this has that type) big difference replace it and maybe the controller also.
