I have a 95 s series blazer that is having an issue with starting. One day it will be fine then the next it will start for work but when i leave i find myself having to jiggle and smack the ignition for quite some time before I can get it to start. Any thoughts on what it may be or what needs to be replaced? Other than that the only other problem is my 4 wheel drive isn't working. The transfer case will engage but the front tires won't spin. The drivelines and everything else seem to be as they should, no clanking or slipping that I can feel or hear.

Thanks in advance!!!

 

I should add that when I turn the key over all the dash light come on and everything seems as it should.

 

Unclear as to if the motor is cranking and not starting or just dead.

 

Sorry, the truck runs fine once it starts. no other problems. I think its a loose wire somewhere but I'm uncertin where to start loooking.

 

Check the connections on your nuetral safety switch.Thats what was keeping my engine from turning over.Also could be a lose ground wire or coroded terminal

 

Thanks I'll check that out asap! Is that switch inside the steering column?

 

The key doesn't turn in the lock cylinder? Does the starter engage and crank the engine? Or does the starter crank the engine but it will not start? Or does the starter not even engage? You need to clarify the symptoms.

 

check your vacuum for the 4wd problems

 

The key turns fine in the cylinder, the lights are on but tshe engine doesn't crank. Then for lack of better description abilities " Wiggle, Wiggle, Wiggle, Smack, Smack Smack, Smack, OMG!! YOU SOB.....Then START" Sometimes in only takes a little jiggle to fix it other times I look like I'm having a full on Grand Mal Seizure in the truck.

Hope That Helps!!!

 

Is there only 1 vacuum line for the 4 wheel drive?
