On the distributor there is a tfi module. It might be going. I think there is a five wire connector.

95 blazer 4x4 4 door w vin 4.3 v6 ignition problems

4.3L , L35(RPO engine)
has 1 fuel pump relay PCM controlled
has 1 fuel pump.oil pressure sensor , too.
not sure at all me what a pulsator might be.Ahh Dampener.
what matters is spark first, it must have spark or the PCM cuts fuel dead on all EFI car. (if the PCM detects spark bad in ANY WAY)
the comes cranking the pump just receiver 12vdc cranking
KEY ON ONLY is only 2sec prime puls best is forget that unless have 2 person to test prime, but cranking matters first.
some new pumps are silent, (like top Bosch) so sounds prove little. today what really matters is PSI pressure cranked,
the PCM brain or the oil pressure switch allow the pump to have power cranked, and running.
that is how to test it, cranked only.

"starting with start fluid,but now it just cranks over ,only."
does this mean starting fluid now fails.?
we check spark at all spark plugs no just 1.
we check oil pressure to, if zero PSI cranked that is bad .
last is fuel pressure if not at spec, it will not start.
spec fuel pressure is 58-64 psi
yes some fuel rails or near by or near tank, have pulsator that is really regulator/dampener.
it prevents old cheap pumps from madly pulsing the rail and causing injectors to mess up. vane pumps do make pulses some worst tan others, (some even by pass it, but there is their call)
Is this a TBI throttle body injection? or MPI.

the SM states this. (it has a 2 second prime for sure)

If the engine does not run, turn the ignition ON, but do not attempt to start the engine. Listen for the fuel pump to run. Within 2 seconds of turning the ignition ON pressure should be 58-64 psi (400-440 kPa) while the pump is running. Once the pump stops, pressure may vary by several pounds, then it should hold steady. If the pressure does not hold steady, wait 10 seconds and repeat this...

I have a 1987 chrysler conquest tsi and fuel pump only runs when key is on start not on run but pump fuel lines not hook only power wires to pump is this how it works?

What does it do with the lines hooked up ? Most fuel injected vehicles need an RPM signal to let the computer know the engine is running to let power continue to the pump .

1991 Cutlass ceirra 3300 ,runs fine for short time. starts running rough,then dies/will not start again.changed fuel filter, then tested fuel pump.fuel pressure is good.what next ?

Check for spark when it won't start. If you have spark, might be your fuel pump relay, maybe the map sensor. If no spark, check another or all plug wires. If ignition isn't working, it could be Crankshaft Position sensor, Camshaft position sensor (or pick-up coil), ignition control module, coils, pcm, or the wiring associated with them. PCM determines spark timing after inputs from crank and can sensors, and sends ground signal to ignition module, cutting primary voltage to coils, initiating spark or high voltage from coil to sparkplug. All these parts have to be working right for ignition. All can be tested too. You'd need a digital volt ohm meter (DVOM) and a repair manual for your car with the test procedures. That Mitchell alldata-diy site has a special on subscriptions, pretty reasonable for a 1 month subscription, and excellent info and troubleshooting flow charts, wiring diagrams, etc.

Hi , I have a 96 Lincoln town car and I'm having a problem with it , it cranks and cranks and cranks and I have a had time turning it on and I have changed the fuel pump , fuel filter and its still...

check your spark. If you have spark check your fuel to see if the pump is working. If there's no spark, check your distributor cap. If there's no fuel check your fuel pump relay and also the emergency cutoff switch on the drivers side in the trunk behind the carpet, make sure its pushed in.

On frist attemp to start car, cranks then dies after few seconds ckd fuel rail , had no pressure , replaced fuel pump regulator , no help !

do you hear the fuel pump turn on when you turn the key to the run position? If not the check the fuel pump relay.

If the car will start and run for a few seconds then die, It may well be the crank position sensor.

2002 blazer crank but wont start

2 things that you have to check on no starts every time. Spark at spark plug and fuel. Turn key to run position and listen at gas tank for fuel pump to run you should hear a whining noise. This will only happen for 3 to 4 seconds then it will shut off until engine starts. You can turn key off then to run every 3 to 4 to listen for fuel pump. You may hear the relay click off in engine area even if pump does not run. Fuel pump failure is pretty common. If pump is running pull spark plug out or put a spare plug into spark plug wire and have someone crank engine set plug on engine and watch for spark. This will give you a starting point. Hope it helps.

Cranks but will not start headlights come on 100,000 miles have never tuned up 2001 town car

Listen for the fuel pump to run for the first 5 seconds after you turn the key to "ON".

If you don't hear the pump run (it's in the fuel tank), check the fuse per your owner manual, check the fuel pump relay. If not one of them, then you need a fuel pump.

If pump is running, then you have an ignition issue. Check for spark at the spark plug.

Continues cranking. Wont turn over. what s my next step?

You mean it cranks but wont start (cranking and turning over are the same thing) When cranking, rap on the fuel tank, if it then runs, the pump is bad and will need to be replaced.

Cranks but no start

Sounds like the carb is dirty. I would check that before spending a lot of money of other things.
