Default 95 Blazer won't start, help?

Basically, it was running fine, no problems whatsoever. Parked it, then came out the next morning to start it and it turned over, and "sputters." Basically, it sounds like it's trying to fire and it can't start. I checked the spark plugs and I'm getting ignition to all of them. Here's a video I took of the problem.95 blazer starting problem - YouTube help would be much appreciated, thanks!

have you checked your fuel pressure? Or how about spraying some carb/choke cleaner directly into the throttle body to see if it will start and once or if it does start what does it do at that point?

How do I check the fuel pressure? I'm going to attempt the starting fluid thing now.

Do you hear fuel pump when you turn key to 'run' {not start}?

Have someone switch key on while you are ready to slap the bottom of tank hard with about a 1-2 foot long 2x4.

Sometimes that will start a pump. And in some case it will take a week for that to happen again

I feel like an idiot. I took my air cleaner off and sprayed some starting fluid in there, fired right up, no problem whatsoever. Took it for a 10 minute test drive and everything's perfect. Before the ride, we even shut it off and started it up again and it started flawlessly.
Well, that was simple, can't believe it isn't the first thing I tried...

You didnt FIX anything!!!! That the starter fluid was used and the truck ran after that is a coincidence.

Read my post again and understand that sometimes when the pump gets old and flaky.. that happens.
Same as a starter with bad brushes.

Also .. what year is your truck?

The FP connector was bad on my 99. Changed the pump anyway.. 108k it was just a matter of time.

New pumps include a connector harness upgrade

Oh, well, I'll keep this in mind and see what happens when I cold start it again in the morning. (if it starts)
and it's a 95.

Get that piece of 2x4 and keep it in the car. Slap the tank toward the rear.
