I Have a 1997 Blazer I have to put fuel in the carburetor to start it.... when it starts it revs even if I don't give it gas then it stalls out. It ran fine for a day or two after sitting for a while.

If i remember correctly a 97 blazer has fuel injection and not a carb , hence the reason it starts and revs up when you dump gas in the intake plenum ,this by the way is very dangerious to do could cause a backfire and set the engine on fire, now onto your problem you will have to locate the hi pressure fuel rail this is gonna look like a square piece of pipe with a tire valve sticking out of it some where on the top of engine ,this is the fuel pressure test point you need to cycle the ing key several times then using a key end or ink pen (not a pencil) deflecting the tire valve looking thing (shrader valve) away from your face and eyes with something solid depress the center of the valve there should be a spray of fuel at this valve if and i suspect not you have a fuel pump problem it is located inside the fuel tank and sorry to say is a common problem for this type and model gm sells a lot of them as replacement parts each year remember when working on a fuel tank remember thats gasoline in there and sparks from wires and tools can make it explode disconnect battery first and drain the fuel tank first and still treat it carefully as the fumes are just as dangerious

Testimonial: "The fuel pump and the fuel filter are both good. get gas all the way up to the engine, just not squirting fuel into the throttle body."

I would check to be on the safe side the fuel filter is going in the right direction. The arrow is pointing towards the engine away from the fuel tank, Then you need to make sure the fuel pump wiring connections are good contact and did not come loose when driving.

I Let my chevy Blazer run out of gas,nw it wont start even though the relay and fuelpump is working.

Is it electric or mechanical pump? Electric is with fuel injection. If its fuel injection, you should hear the pump run when you turn ignition switch. If u don't hear it, try starting, if no, turn off then on. It will self prime. Carburetor is with mechanical pump. I usually put few drops of gas in the carb. Start it, if no, more in carb till it stays running.

2003 Chevy Blazer dies after starting. About 3 weeks ago my blazer started dying when I started it or I stopped at a traffic light. I took it to the shop and got a tune up. Now its doing it again. This...

It's starving for fuel. The main component there is the MAS -- mass airflow sensor, very common to go bad. Tap on it and sometimes that will make it rev lower or stall. It's inline with the black tubing that goes to the air filter. They run around $200 but are very very easy to put in yourself with a little care.

My truck is stalling frequently when idling and shifted into gear

This sounds like a couple different things. Lets start with the easier idea first. You need to locate the fuel filter and remove it and blow into the end that points to the carburetor. Point the other end at your hand or in a cup and catch the gas that comes out. If there was a good bit of debree then replace it and see if it fixed the problem. If it did buy a new filter next time it starts acting up, If not then it would be wise to check all the vacuum hoses for leaks or if one has come loose. If you can't see any leaks or loose ones then get a can of carburetor cleaner and as the engine is runnoing spay short spurts around the motor area. If the engine revs up to a faster idle then there is a leak. Do not spray right at the throat of the carburetor intake. That will rev for sure and there is nothing wrong there when it revs up. It would be like giving it gas.
If you find and trace down the leak stop it up or repair it. If nothing can be found then to the next step.
This also acts like a caburetor acereration pump. That is inside the carburetor and is a piece of rubber type diafram that moves back and forth and aceleration is given to the vehicle. These can get a pin hole or harden after time and you will need a carb rebuild kit. The kit should be under twenty bucks at schucks. Let me know how it turns out. I wish you well. The Raz

I have a 1978 Olds Cutlass just replaced the fuel pump and it will fire up but will not stay started. It was running for a day but would stall when I stopped. It would not stall if the car was in neutral....

You can adjust the carburetor with a straight blade screwdriver.Remove the air cleaner and have someone push the gas pedal,you'll see a lever connected to the carb moving back and forth,this is the accelerator linkage.While looking straight at the linkage you'll see a screw between the linkage and the carb.Using the straight blade screw driver turn clockwise a quarter turn.Replace the air cleaner and start the engine.The RPMs should be higher, now hold the brake pedal and put it in gear.Stays running,your good to go,otherwise give her another quarter turn.Now this is a "get-by"solution,you need to give some attention to your engine by giving it a tune up!That means changing:distributor cap&rotor,spark plugs&wires,carburetor rebuild,oil change and lube.Oh yeah,tighten down the four 1/2" bolts holding down the carburetor too!You could have a vacuum leak under the carb or even a vacuum line disconnected.This will also cause the low idle speed!Good luck!

Couple of days ago car started choking like I was running out of gas my gas guage could be broken but can someone tell me where the carburator ? is so that I can put gas in it.

Your 95 Blazer does not have a carburetor (correct spelling too) It is fuel injected so injectors are used for each cylinder instead of a carburetor. If you run out of fuel and your vehicle is facing uphill when that happens you should have some fuel in the tank left. When leveling at a level position the vehicle will start again. You see the fuel pump is in the fuel tank and fuel is needed at all times to prime when starting. If on a grade the fuel goes to one end if only a gallon or two is left and the pump will **** air only causing a stalling problem I added all this in just so you remember this incase it ever happens to you
