Hesitates pressing gas

My blazer starts right up in the morning no problem. But when I go to give it gas and take off it hesitates. Then when it picks back up and runs fine. I have changed fuel pump and filter. Check the cat. There ok so what do you think it might be. the 02 sencer or the Throttle Position Sensor

If any of the sensors are faulty, you should have trouble codes in the computer for them. The O2 sensors and tps could cause the issue you describe, but again there should be trouble codes.

Have someone do a back pressure test on you catalytic converter. I had the same problem and it turned out that my converter was almost completely plugged. I was also getting a check engine light indicating a misfire on cylinder 4. Once the converter was replaced, the problems went away.

SOURCE: 2000 blazer 4.3 hard to start (fuel problem)

Do you have the fuel tester hooked the in the overgrown air valve on the fuel rail in the back of the engine? Or do you have the fuel line unhooked in the back and hooked to the pressure pump? You want the fuel pressure to be in that 60 lb range so if you are hooked into the pressure valve on the fuel rail allowing fuel to go through, then I am betting it is the fuel pressure regulator. To get to that, you have to take the throttle body off and take the plastic plenum that covers the injector packs. On the back of the mount where your six pack of injectors are sits the pressure regulator. If it is faulty then it is dumping fuel instead of holding the pressure like it should.
Get a Chilton or Clymer manual and it shows you in pretty good detail how to fix it. I've done it to my 98 S10 with the same engine.

If you unhooked the fuel line so you are losing pressure from the line back to the pump then I would say your pump is letting fuel back to the tank when it shuts off. My money is on the first possibility though.

Good luck

My wifes blazer hesitates and has no power and it happened just after she put gas in and there was no prewarning

mcdevito75 here, It sounds as though your wife may have put the wrong octane of gas in the vehicle, or she has some water in the gas she bought. At any parts store pick up and put in the gas tank a can of octane booster and dry gas to claer up any water in the gas. The parts stoe sales can help with this and of course follow the directions on each can of additive.

2002 Nissan Altima 2.5S wierd problem starting it up.

There have been several recalls on this vehicle for similar problems. I don't see in your posting where you took the vehicle to the dealer to check for recalls. You can call Nissan at 1-800-Nissan1 (in the U.S.) and have them check the VIN without taking it to the dealership. They will tell you if there are any outstanding recalls.
