walleyehunter is on a distinguished road
Default replaced battery and 1995 blazer won't fire.

In the recent cold snap in Wisconsin, -25 degrees my truck won't start. battery died and wouldn't allow a jump start. So I replaced the battery and the truck won't fire. Sprayed starting fluid and that didn't work either. Engine turns over but won't fire. any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

If it doesn't start with starting fluid, (not a good idea, use carb spray instead) it's time to check for spark at each plug while cranking. Needs to be a blue, not orange, spark, and should jump a half inch gap to ground.
