Sandra, You probably will not get code from computer as it may not be hooked up to an engine running a carburetor in a 1996 Blazer. Carbureted engines were not installed in 1996 Blazers. Could be a lot of things, choke sticking/faulty,dirty carb, not set properly, bad plugs/wires, fuel filter/pump, faulty distributor/cap/rotor/electronics,vacuum leak,etc. Best to have a good tech. have a look and estimate repair.

did you run the check engine light code? most car parts chains will check for free. it can be worn spark plug, bad spark plug wire, cap& rotor,worn rings fouling plug, valve seal leaking ect. i would run codes first, see what it says and help to isolate issue.

Usually marked on the fuse panel cover. If the fuel pump is dead, you may be able to wake it up, maybe. As some one tries to start it, other person needs to hit(rubber mallet) the fuel tank in the center of it. This jars the pump and sometimes they will start pumping again. But it still needs replaced. You can use a hammer, just don't hit so hard you dent the tank or worse, put a hole in it.

The fuel neck is attached to the fuel tank using a hose connection and clamps. The other end where the fuel enters is attached to the body using small bolts. You will have to look up inside the panel area to see these bolts. The fuel neck may be extremely diffucult to loosen/remove from the hose connection at the tank as years of weather/elements will cause the hose connecting the two to become hard and will not want to come apart. Although a fairly simple repair, there will be a moderate level of diffuculty seperating the old filler pipe to install a new one

Like Kristisamp Said check the Fuel pump relays, they are little black box shaped fuses in the glove box, there are 3 of them, I think there may be a cover over them so you can see it......
Take the cover off and there you go......
I have a 96 blazer 2 door that had the same problem, I repalced thes relays and Bam!!! fired right up........

freeze plugs will be located towards bottom of the engine. It could be the water pump, or a bad hose.

that indicates you have a fuel supply problem. a plugged fuel filter, or a fuel pump thats loosing its pressure. usually when you put starting fluid in throttle body. and it starts. thats a fuel problem.

doubt it as the off sets may be different, stud pattern different and pcd for the studs different easiest way is to see if the spare fits one to the other

Had this problem with my Lincoln. The catalytic converters were burning out. Take a look at them.

remove door panel.. there should be access hole to get to the bolts.

sounds like the alternator went bad. and wasnt charging battery, when headlights demanded power there wasnt enough to supply light and motor , so it shut down, recharge battery check battery connections then have alternater check, good luck. hope this helps.

I've had the same problem, this hose (click the box) is a lot of times disconnected for what ever reason. Hooking it back into the nipple solved this same exact problem you're having. Well the click box thing didn't work. Look at the black vacuum "T" just to the right of the brake booster, the hose that goes over to the fender unhooked is the hose I'm talking about. Nipple is sticking outwards underneath where that hose is under the rusted metal flap.

They skip or stop or make noise ?

The emissions go up past the permissable limits.

It might be the

• EGR valve stuck open or being given false signal to be too much open
• Another possibility is the intake manifold side of the PCV valve vacuum hose cracked-or any other of the vacuum hoses.
• The higher RPM at cruise would indicate lack of normal overdrive function or tachometer error.

Beneath the coil, I think.
