1999 Chevy Blazer 4.3L engine has an electronic EGR valve its in front of and below the intake manifold a cylinder looking part connected to a small wiring harness. It is bolted on with 2 10mm bolts alot of times a piece of carbon will get stuck in the pintle at the bottom of the EGR valve and will keep it open causing a large vacuum leak making it hard or impossible to start. Good luck.

I have a Chevy sr10 Blazer 2000 , cranks but won't start , I do hear the fuel pump when I turn the ignition .

Have a helper crank it, while you visually check for spark at the spark plugs. If spark everywhere, use a gage and check proper fuel pressure. Also, check for a fuel injector pulse.
Can you check applicable trouble codes? To check codes, yourself, at the least, you need an obd2 code reader.

Is there a security lite on the dash? Is it flashing or anything?

Gas Guage bouncing strong gas smell before 1998 Chevy Blazer wouldn't start at all. Engine still turns over

Check your fuel pressure, if low or no pressure, replace fuel filter first. My guess is the fuel pump and sensor are bad. You may also want to see if your getting spark, but I don't think bad plugs would make has gage jump around, but if they are not sparking correctly they will allow gas to flood the motor and that's when you get the gas smell

96 chevy blazer turns over but wont start

It needs at least 60psi fuel pressue to start. You need to check fuel pressure with a gauge.
If the dist cap or rotor is bad, the spark will not be on the right plug at the right time. Same goes for a faulty distributor or a problem with the timing chain. And the ignition module.
Also check the ecm for trouble codes.

I have a 1999 chevy blazer that died and will not start

Looks like you've covered the basics, make sure the firing order is correct with your spark plug wire replacement. Hope this diagram helps.

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
