Hello,
I have an 01 Blazer 4wd LT. I went outside to start the red dragon(yes its what i call this blazer), it tried to start, but the starter was bad. Put a new starter on and it started..waited a day or two let it go outside and it wouldn't start. It just turned and tried to start. Well I changed the battery since it was bad. Wouldn't start, just turns. Changed the ignition coil since it shocked the **** out of me. Still wouldn't start. So finally dropped the tank and changed the fuel pump..it started. Now a couple days go by, i let it sit outside and it just turns over and over. What am i missing? I've hooked it to a code reader and nothing is spiting out. At this point I am lost on where to look.
Note: At one point, the blazer would start fine if I left it in the garage, if I left it outside over night in the cold, it wouldn't start.

Sorry it took so long to get back to. I changed it today. I am letting it sit in the cold and see if it starts tomorrow.
If not where do I look next?

Howdy,
To split the problem between ignition and fuel, I'd take a try to inject the "engine starter" in aerosol directly to a throttle while cranking. If it cranks - You have the fuel related problem. Otherwise it's ignition.
