Need help badly

My 2001 Chevy Blazer is having issues. I have replaced: Fuel Pressure Regulator, Fuel Pump, Vacuum Hoes, Fuel Filter, Spark Plugs. Still sputtering between 40-60MPH once I have been driving the car for at least 30mins so once it gets hot. The car does not over heat or anything.

Sounds like it may be a spark/ignition issue. Check your distributor.

Maybe it's your fuel tank that has contaminants -use a pressure hose and blow back the fuel into the tank, remove the fuel tank and flush out - could be rust as well. Hope this helps...

    Could it be one of my spark plugs, I remember I couldn't get the #3 spark plug off bc of the steering wheel rod in the way under my good. I'm wondering if it's bad.

SOURCE: My 2001 Chevy Blazer LT 4-door 4wd takes along time to start up. I have replaced Fuel Pump, Spark Plugs and etc.

I had an issue like this once. Had the same symptoms as you are and replaced the same things you have replaced. It ended up being a $12 distributor cap that fixed it all up. Take the distributor cap off and see if you can smoky white spots/patches up near the contacts. Basically the spark is jumping around in there causing you to not get enough spark to the cylinder that needs to fire. Here's to hoping that is your problem as well.

My 2001 Chevy blazer 4.3 will idle but when given gas it Boggs down have replaced converter fuel pump plugs wires fist cap air filter checked vacuum leaks

I'm not familiar with Chevy's but a similar problem over the pond that is quite common is the EGR valve clogging up.
Not sure if this is relevant to a 2001 model but worth checking out.
Electricial cleaner is the best to use I have found.
hope this is of some help.

2001 chevy blazer keeps bloging out

Make sure all your vacuum hoses are connected and in place, also might want to check out the pcv valve usually located on the valve cover. You can also have the fuel regulator checked out... hope one of these things takes care of your problem.

2001 chevy Tahoe has codes p0171, P0174 I've replaced the fuel filter, spark plugs, air filter, mass air flow sensor and cleaned out the throttle body, but my SUV still idles, dribbles at times and feels...

Those are codes for bank too lean. Look for vacuum leaks, failed cat converter, exhaust leak, plugged screen on in tank, failing fuel pump, bad fuel pressure regulator, dirty/weak injectors, bad ground,..I'd take it to a shop, a good tech can track it down in under 20 minutes, it's all about the tools.

2001 Hyundai XG300L HARD TO START DONT START RIGHTWAY TAKE LIKE 5 SECONDS CRANK TO START,,,, SOMEBODY CAN GIVE ME ANY IDEA WHAT IS THE PROBLEM PLEASE THANKS !!!

hi martin i am shannon . you will first need to determan if the problem is fuel or spark related . for fuel just add 1 oz of gas into the intake through the throttle. you will need to remove the big black hose at the throttle . just pour the fuel in. if it starts right up then you have a fuel issue most likely a bad fuel pressure regulator. too test the spark i would get a spark tester . connect it to one of the plug or coil wires. set it to 25.0000 volts then have some one turn the engine over while you which for spark. if you get no spark you may have a bad crank angle sensor. hear is a spark tester i use . this one is at Autozone.

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.

Starts fine, but then bogs out when accelerating, practicaly have to give it no gas and creep up to speed.Doesn't want to go up hills. Just replaced the cpi, fuel filter and fuel pump 3 months ago. Also...

Check the fuel pressure regulator and the EGR valve, I would check the fuel pressure regulator first and go from there. Good luck and keep me posted. Not sure what the pressure should be but thinking it's 62 to 65 PSI upon start up and should drop 5 PSI when engine running, check the vacuum line to the regulator.

1999 chevy blazer wont start

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
