are you low on coolant and is your thermostat working right? That is probably where I would start checking.

Also, vehicle information might be helpful.

Does your oil dipstick smell like gasoline or oil?

And what are you driving? Are you getting a check engine light? If you get a light straighten into a U shape and jam a paperclip into the top 2 right holes on your OBD port down by your knees and see what codes the engine light flashes at you when you turn on the key after putting in the paperclip.

Can try electronic spark control module. Mine would run fine then just die.

sounds like your starter solenoid getting hot and sticking.

Try beating on it while some one starts the vehicle.

We also need year, and model.
Blazers had the 4.3 V6 in them since the late 80's, and the 4.3 was also ran in other GM vehicles.

My 95 has trouble starting when it's hot.. doesn't die though. Sometimes it isn't getting enough fuel (new pump, gonna change the filter tomorrow), sometimes it sounds like the battery is dead but I had it checked and it's fine. Starter gave strange readings though.

If you're having issues with you own truck (even if they are similar), please start your own thread. Thanks.
