My 1995 blazer ran fine a year ago when i parked it. It has sat there for a year without being started. I do not recall how much gas was in it when I parked it. I am pretty sure that I had enough antifreeze in it for it to be ok through the winter months. I went out to start it for the first time the other day and battery was completely dead. I bought a new battery and put in it. I also took radiator cap off and could not see any sign of water in it so I poured some 50/50 mix in till it got to the top. I tried to start it and it turned over strong but wouldnt start. I then noticed the gas gauge was on E. I then went and got 5 gallons in a gas can and poured it in. I then sprayed starter fluid into the throttle body. It turns over, acts like its gonna start but doesnt. I dont know what to do next. Any advice?

 

Do you hear the fuel pump running when you turn the key to the run position?

 

I just went out to check that and I do not hear the fuel pump running.

 

I'm sorry but I cannot remember if this engine has a fuel pressure test port. If it is there it is in the engine bay close to the fire wall. It looks like the valve you have on the tires where you put air in. If it does use a screwdriver or something to push the inner portion in to see if fuel is under pressure to this point. Fuel can spray out so wear some eye protection.

 

Check for spark. Usually if you put gas down the throttle body and it does not start then there is weak or no spark.
