I have a Blazer and it's not wanting to start at all. When I go to turn it over it wants to go but feels like it just doesn't have enough get up and go behind it to do it.

I don't want to use starter fluid for fear do ****ing up the car, also don't have the money right now to replace the fuel pump which I'm pretty sure is the problem, due to reading other similar posts about this problem.

My question is, are they any recommendations or tips anyone could give me to get it start and moved from where it is to where I need it to be for me to work on it more?

 

If it's not getting fuel because the fuel pump is shot, the only way you're going to get it moved somewhere else is going to be to tow it.

Even if you used starting fluid, it might get it kicked off and started, but it will not stay running for any period of time, much less long enough for you go move it, if the fuel pump is bad.

A short squirt of starting fluid is not going to mess anything up (people that try to RUN a diesel off starting fluid is what gives starting fluid that bad rep I think), but if it does start with the starting fluid but doesn't stay running on its own, then you at least know it's a fuel delivery problem.

 

Thank you. I guess I can try the starting fluid and see if it works and hopefully it's will at least get it out of the yard so I can tow it.
