Exclamation Totally new to this, please help me if you can!

My old Betsy's a 1997 Blazer LT, 4.3L V6. I've done a lot of maintenance and replaced several of her parts so far... I ran into a new problem recently, when I'm stopped at a light for more than a minute or so the car feels like it's pulling when I get on the gas it doesn't want to go. I just replaced the fuel pump and filter and she was good for 2 days and I started feeling the pull again a little bit today. Nothing like before I replaced those parts but it was the same feeling. If anyone can tell my anything I would be more than appreciative!!!

What brand did you replace it with? By pulling do you meen it feels like it wants to go forward with your foot on the brakes? Have you done a fuel pressure and leakdown test? It may be a brake issue...

It feels like it doesn't want to go when I push on the gas. Today coming home from work it started bogging out on me from a red light and when I pushed the gas to the floor I heard a loud crack, sounded like a piece of plastic breaking and the car didn't bog out again the rest of the ride. It only happens when I'm going from a stop, once I'm cruising the car runs fine.

I would guess you have a brake caliper sticking, drive for a while, get out feel the wheel the wheel that is hot to the touch is the one that the brake is sticking on slowing you down.,
