It is very possible, but they typically trigger a code.

...acts like there is nothing wrong with it besides small little back fires from reving it up...

...something diffrent i have noticed ever since it died the first time is a little backfire when it is reved up. not sure why its doing that but it still idles fine...
Hhmmm, wonder if the ignition coil might be dying?

Can the crankshaft position sensor the camshaft position sensor and the ignition switch be bench tested like you can do with the Ignition Control Module?

i believe my repair book mentions a way that you can test it. what it does not mention though is the relearn procedure other people have talked about having to do once replacing the crankshaft sensor. i would think if it was a must it would mention that in the replacing procedure.

ok well after many hours of trying to find people with similar problems and trying to diagnose what was wrong with vehicle without buying one part after another it turned out to be a failing coil pack. so supposedly when it gets hot it can stop working and not create enough or no spark at all causing a stall. once it cools down it works again. so far blazer drives fine. have not driven too far with it yet but no problems and no codes after it finished going through its necessary cycles. so for now its fixed but if it stalls again i will let everyone know. thanks for everyones input :-)

Dang, glad that was what it was, becauseit was the last idea I had to offer. Hope that cures the problem. Think I'll get myself a beer. [sm=icon_cheers.gif].
