Before accepting delivery of the PCM, why not try an ignition switch?

ok UPDATE!!! the ignition switch fixed alot!, but not 100%, driven 20 miles but i didnt cut it off anywhere, get back home then it wouldnt crank. 5 minutes later cranked right up. has cut off runnin in the yard twice and stumbled one time while driving. So i still dont trust driving it daily! and that Ignition switch is no easy job the first time around, now that i know all the tricks it could probably be done in 30 min to a hour. still have the new ecm comp. on standbuy but im gonna look at the regulator and fuel pressures again,what a lemon for so much to go wrong at one time!!!! thanks for all replys ill try some more remedies.

Well, I suppose if that is how you want to handle it, I wish you well.

At least you did not say it was your first and last Chevrolet. I mean, any 10 year old used vehicle such as this could have issues. No telling what was done to it in the past.

Well, I'm glad he's not ditchin the Chevy's. I feel for you, I think you just happen to get a Blazer with a nasty Japanese gremlin inside of it. Good luck on getting another. BTW, make sure you tell the new owner about the Blazer. That way we don't see any double posts.
