Normal cranking pressure is 70psi. It won't start if pressure is below 60psi.
Engines with multi port injection runs on 35-40 psi. and engines with throttle body injection run on 25 psi.

What will cause motor not to start and smell like gas on 1995 chevrolet blazer 3.8liter vortex

check for gas leak if none found these had a problem with the spider injection system inside the intake cracking causing a leak and no start due to the poppet injectors not opening due to weak fuel pressure. these operate at 56lbs pressure and its critical.

When low on gas I made an abrupt stop, car would not start. found out that it had a firing problem, changed spark plugs, distributor, rotor still won't start this is very confusing. read the manuel dose...

Try checking the fuel filter and pump. Easy fix is the filter of course but if that doesn't work, try the pump. It is located in the tank and can be checked by seeing if there is pressure in the line going into the TBI or injectors. It is supposed to be at a certain pressure rating and there is a way to do that with a valve but that is a little more technical.

2001 Chevrolet Blazer LS 2-dr, 4 wheel drive, 2 cranks to start

Try replacing the fuel filter first, but it sounds like your loosing your fuel pressure prim when the fuel pump is not working. The fuel pressure should be 62-65 PSI with the engine not running the the ignition key turned on and should drop about 5 psi when the engine is running. If you turn the engine off and check the fuel pressure, it stat steady for morn then 15min. If it drops fast, then you have a leak at your fuel pressure regulator (common) or your return fuel check valve which is located at your fuel sending unit.
Start with the simple and replace the fuel filter, it could just be to dirty to pressurize the fuel system fast enough giving you the hard start.
Thank you for using Fixya and good luck
