98 chevy blazer not starting?

Asked by Elizabeth Feb 17, 2015 at 07:24 PM about the 1998 Chevrolet Blazer 2-Door RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My blazer will turn over (the
chugchugchug) but wont start. Just had a
diagnotic last week and everything was
good, and it worked fine an hour ago. I
thought maybe the battery since its almost
3y old but the mechanic is telling me its a
fuel problem (he hasnt looked at it since he
did my diagnostic) does anyone have any
ideas? And please guys, i dont speak car,
can you give me laymens terms :)

If the motor is turning over "chugchugchug" then you battery us doing its job and isn't your problem. Fuel could be an issue. Rather the pump has gone out or your injector has kicked the bucket. But really there isn't enough info here to say anything one way or the other

Use starting fluid to see if its a fuel problem then if it starts check fuses and fuel relay switch. If its not that its probably the fuel pump is bad.
