Default Engine cuts out - fuel pump?

Im having an issue with my blazer, while I'm driving down the road my motor cuts out, it sputters a little then comes back , every once in a while it dies. Before I tear into the fuel pump I just want some seconds that, that is what is is.

Thanks

A fuel pressure gauge taped to the windshield would let you see what's going on if it is fuel related.

If it has enough fuel pressure could be a crank sensor...i've had one act this way and after figuring out it wasn't the module it ended up being this sensor...somehow it was actually keeping two cylinders from firing...just a suggestion good luck!

Thanks! My OBDII reader is on the way, before I spend money on either a fuel pressure gauge or a crank sensor until i can see if the ecu has any thing to say. will keep an eye out for both things
