my car was leaking fuel so I put a patch in the pressure line . that didn't work so I ordered brand new vinyl pressure and return lines . after I got the lines installed I tried starting the vehicle to no avail . I tested fuel pressure ... 0 lbs and the fuel pump is not running , at least I cannot hear it run . I tested for spark , no spark . I put gasoline in the vehicle just because but no change . I sprayed starting fluid into throttle body no change . I think a sensor must have gone bad . 1997 chevy blazer LS 4.3L
any help would be very appreciated
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 1997 Chevrolet Blazer. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
Remove coil wire from the *distributor cap* and have a helper crank engine .. spark should easily jump a 1 inch air gap to a metal ground .. THEN let me know the results of THAT test.
I’m retired now - back when I was doing automobile repair - I did a bunch of work for an electrical contractor that had a fleet of - various year models - Chevy S-10 trucks with the 4.3L engines .. I have done about everything one can think of on these vehicles as far as troubleshooting & repair ...... IF you’ll respond with the test results I ask for - I feel sure I can help you out with this little problem!
