Anonymous Posted on Jun 25, 2011

My 97 Blazer 4.3 will not start unless i dump fuel under the hood, and after its running it works great, but if I let it sit more than 30 minutes sometimes less, it wont start again, it will start right back up as long as it hasnt been too long after it was running, I have a new fuel pump and fuel filter and distributer cap all put on, if anyone can help, let me know, thanks, [email protected]

Hi,
It could be a bad fuel pressure regulator. See how to test it here:

And if it is bad, how to replace it here:

Part is around $80-$100 most places.
Hope that helps! Mike

1997 Blazer 4.3 has a DTC P0300 only can be driven after warm up,but still misses most of the time. it passed E check when not missing and idle is smooth. have replaced all ignation parts. the EGR valve...

this code indicates multiple miss fire,which is not just one cylinder doing it.if this motor has a vortec motor in it the problem could be the injectors not operating properly or the lines to the injectors may be leaking into the intake causing a rich condition.it could be the egr valve stuck open just a bit causing a vacume leak and rough running.it could even be a problem with the pickup coil in the distributer or a cracked magnet.the ignition module could also cause the problem.

I have a 1993 chevy blazer 4.3. We replaced the fuel filter and fuel pump. When I start it up it starts okay. Once I drive it and let it sit for about 30 minutes or so it takes a couple of times before it...

Is it a vortec engine if it is your fuel injector may be the problem. Chevy ran one injector on the vortech engine it is under the upper intake manifold, it has 6 plastic hoses running to each cylinder under the manifold. if one of these hoses are leaking its dumping raw fuel into the manifold during hot soak. that fuel is getting picked up by intake air when trying to start. and flooding it out hence hard to start. gasoline evaporates rather quick so what fuel was in the manifold when you park for the night has evaporated by the next morning so no raw fuel for intake air to pick up easy start. Seen this problem many times. pretty easy fix but a bit pricey around $200

A/C only blows cold for 20 minutes

Check the followings:
1. Pressure Switch connection - under front right hand side near lips.
2. Thermostat Switch connection - at the dryer under the hood
3. Retrun Valve maybe blocked - in the cooling pipe from the compressor
4. Cooling Thermostat in the compressor itself.
