Default 2000 blazer cranks but wont start

This past month it's had intermittent starting. It had been starting fine and the next day nothing. It cranks and cranks, but wont start. My check engine light was on. I had it looked at (P0300) Random Misfire Detected and (P0440) EVAP System No Flow During Purge. I've been trying to fix the misfire, so I've got new spark plugs, I had the spark plug wires looked at and the cap and rotor are supposed to be good. I replaced the tps sensor in Aug too. The first time it happened I was told it wasn't getting gas and it needed a new pump. It had a Delphi fuel pump put in last year, but I got a new one had it put in and it ran about a week. Same thing, it cranked but just didn't start. I still had a misfire, but it was running and starting normally. I was told to switch out the fuel pump relay, it started ran for a couple of days. This time I switched it again and it made no difference.

Have you done a fuel pressure and leakdown test? Thats always the first place to start. If you have post your findings and if you haven't do one and then post your findings. You can find the procedure in multiple locations on this forum with a quick search. My guess is your spider injector is bad.

Yup FP Test with leakdown.

Whoever said no gas, needs a new pump must have psychic hotline, which is for ENTERTAINMENT ONLY. People say dumb stuff - friends, Hillary, Trump, etc. THey don't like when you ask questions tho', like why, how, ...

The first time it quit a fuel pressure test was run and the pressure read between 40 and 50. I'm not convinced that the reading was good because the battery was about dead.

It doesn't take much power to cycle the pump for two seconds. Do another test and post your results both at key on and after 10 min.
