My 2000 blazer is doing a couple of different things. When im driving on the highway the rpm's goes back and fourth from 1800 to 1400 and acts like its cutting out. sometimes it does that when I stop and it stalls. I replaced the tps, maf, distributer, cap,rotor, wires, plugs, temp sensor. Fuel pressure is good. Codes say tps circut low. Garage told me it was a bad ground. They fixed it and it was good for 100 miles then back to doing it. Is there a common ground problem and which one?

,they fixed the ground you should be okay, TPS it where you buy it from is it from a land that mass produces and dont regard quality , its where you buy it from, but quality you get quality, just replace TPS

    It is still doing what it originally did. So its not fixed yet. Just replaced the tps sensor again and still is doing the same thing

    Bad ground you are a three wire sensor, dark blue,black,grey, The Grey is 5 volts reference, Black is ground,Dark blue TPS sensor signal, If the TPS has low input, the coolant tempsensor share the ground,and the coolant temp sensor should be affected,How did you get the code? If you have a code reader then we will have to verify the signal, First remeber if you change the TPS you have to clear the code or it will stay in limp mode till you clear it, . Now lets trouble shoot the TPS sensor connector needs to be inspected for bad male and female connection . with that in good shape we will need to verify the ECM, with code clear key on disconnect the TPS, start the engine and allow the vehicle to give the code TPS high circuit, If the code comes on we then will know that the signal wire can sense the circuit input, clear code ,put sensor back on start the vehicle,allow the circuit to run it process, The best way to resolve this is to trouble shoot the wire ourself if you have a digital volt meter it has to be used, here goes we need to measure the wire key on engine off, lets check reference voltage (try not to seperate the terminals) disconnect TPS what is the voltage you hhave at the grey wire, it must be five volts, now measure the black wire, what you are going to measure is known as a voltage drop this is what the garage said they fixed this voltage cannot exceed .05 volts if it does this will need to be repaired the voltage is allowed to be .02 and below, I need engine size and do you know if you are drive by wire or cable I need the engine size

2000 blazer runs rough and dies when gas pedal pushed to floor.

I agree with Peter on this one. Sounds like low fuel pressure. First thing is to be sure that you have around 55-60 psi when you turn the key on and running should be around 55. If the pressure drops much below these no.'s the fuel pump may need to be changed. Don't forget to check and/or change the fuel filter also.

2000 chevy blazer 4X4. After driving twenty to thirty miles on freeway when I pull off to the off ramp and come to a stop my battery gauge will start to flicker as well as my fuel gauge, will do that...

Are there any codes in the pcm?
There are quite a few things that could cause this;
Make sure the battery cables are tight and clean.
If you have a way to do it, need to find out what the fuel pressure is at when it is acting up.
Dose it miss at all or just loose rpm's and die, no matter what you do? (meaning can you keep it alive by pressing the gas peddle)

To me it sounds like your new fuel pump is loosing pressure while running for a while. But try and get a pressure reading and post back, that will give us something to rule out, or to address.
I think the light flicker you are talking about is just low engine rpm's?

RPM jumps

First thing to check is the transmission fluid. Check it with the trans hot, the engine running, and the trans in "park". Smell the fluid while you check it and look at the color. It should be bright red with no burnt smell. This is usually the cause of most "slipping" problems and loss of Over Drive.
