My 1993 S10 Blazer Tahoe has been sitting for a year and half. I've been trying to get it to run. I managed to get it to start and run for about two seconds. Now I'm at a loss with what to do next.

I've replaced the fuel pump, fuel pump strainer, battery, alternator, starter, drive belt, plugs, plug wires, missing fuses, oil, oil filter and coolant.

The only things left that I can think of is the distributor or a relay. I have no experience with distributors so I'm not sure about that one. I took off the cap and saw that the top of the distributor looked a little bit rusty but not that bad. I didn't take out the entire thing so I don't know what the rest of it looks like.

Ideas?

 

are you getting spark ? Pull the coil wire and put the wire next to the coil tab

make someone crank the motor for a second and see if you got a nice blue spark

have you test the fuel pressure ?

guessing can be expensive this is why we test things

 

I don't have a fuel pressure gauge to run tests.

I checked the coil wires, and they all had a nice blue spark, so yes, it's getting spark. When I start it, there's a like, low roar, something like whoooo from the alternator area. I can also smell a little bit of gas after it's been sitting for a while and I try to start it up again. No smoke from the exhaust, though.

Could it be a clogged fuel filter? I can't replace it because the nut has been stripped. See here -




I also found this part that I have no idea is for in the center console -

 

Well you can rent or buy a fuel pressure gauge from your local auto parts

it sounds like theres an internal problem in the fuel system

and they have repair kits for the fuel lines
