Odd starting problem
#1
I have a 99 blazer, and I have noticed recently when I start it up, it will not turn over unless I pump a little more gas. It happens on and off. I feel like I am back in my old 81 Chevy truck with the quadjet carb and had to pump it before starting it. So what could be my problem on my blazer?
Also to better explain, it is like when you unplug the battery for a while and everything is zero'd out and you got to start it for the first time and have to pump the pedal some to get going, sort of like that.

when was the last time you replaced or even looked at your air filter??
I have a friend with an '05 dodge V8 and it was doing what you describe. The air filter was caked in black dust/gunk. Blowing it out with compressed air resolved the problem, so I replaced the filter.
Giving it gas opens the butterfly valve on the throttle body allowing enough air to reach the engine.
