Whats wrong with my 95 Chevy Blazer again?

Question

A couple of weeks ago it shut off and I couldn't get it started. My father put some gas in the throttle body and it runs again. What could be problem?

Answer 1

bad fuel pump or clogged fuel filter. by putting fuel in the TB he bypassed the filter and pump, so I would go with gettin a new filter, it probably gunked up but the clog came loose after the motor started.

Answer 2

The above are good answers. Also, check your fuel pump relay under the hood. They are an often overlooked problem. Be sure to inspect the ground connection from the pump. If the bolt that holds the ground wires on has somehow worked itself loose, that could cause an intermittent short in the connection.

If you have a test light, check if you are getting power to the fuel pump. There are four wires - 2 ground, 1 for the gauge power (hot with the key on), and 1 for the pump. When you turn the key on, the pump energizes for 1-3 seconds. You can run these tests when the problem is occurring

Answer 3

bad fuel injectors.
take it to the dealer. there is an updated warranty coverage good for 100,000 miles. it shouldn't cost you a dime if the injector is faulty and only if you live in California. Read this

Answer 4

The battery terminals look like the finished direction to initiate, i assume they are side post screw in form like maximum GM products from that era. I truly have 2 of them, both corrode kinda undesirable contained in the rubber, so it will be astounding in case you pulled the metallic area out and clean it. in case you stuck someplace even as this happens, grab a carry of the cable and turn it like your tightening it up, that would create a contact and also you'll get sufficient juice to get it all started.

Answer 5

fuel filter or pump
