Default It wont start but it cranks.

So I have a 1998 blazer and ever since I had it handed down to me, it has had trouble starting. It definitely has something to do with the fact that it acts up more during the winter and colder months. During the summer months it starts and runs like a dream. And I have done the Schrader Valve test and the whole nine yards and still can't seem to figure it out. Someone's gotta know what's wrong with the damn thing. Thanks in advance!

You may want to read this article and then come back with a description of how it is hard to start.

Air, fuel, and spark. That’s all you need, simple enough. OK, so in practice it’s not always so simple but that’s what we do here.


When it cranks and wont start do you have 1” of strong blue spark at the plugs?

Have you performed the fuel pump tests in the sticky?

Was any work performed before the problem started?
