Default 97 Blazer! Do I have to bleed the fuel lines

Hi Forum,

after removing my cylinder head and fixing my valves seats. I put all together.

I am assuming that al gasoline in the spider has been vaporized.

Do I have to bleed the fuel line??? The engine won't start after putting all back together?

Thank you for you help.

i think all you have to do is let the fuel pump do it. cycle the key like 5 or 6 times. each time you should hear the pump come on and run for a little bit and then shut off. do that a few times and see if it will start then.

Thank you Twip.

On the fuel line on top of the upper plastic intake there is a connector to measure fuel pressure. I pushed the valve with my finger nail and air came out.

I will follow you procedure and will see if it helps. I assume I am having air in my spider.

Hope your proposal helps.

Thank you.

I have removed on of my new spark plugs after I have exceuted your proposal

The spark plug was still dry. Only some light gas fumes on the plug.

I wonder how I get the fuel system running again and get the air out of the system.

Thank you for good tips in advanced.

Do you hear the pump turn on when you turn on the key?
