1995 4.3 L 4x4 wont start
I have a 1995 Blazer that my son borrowed and the other night he was running low on fuel but wasnt completely out he says as he was trurning around the truck died out and wouldnt start back up. I towed it home and immediately got to finding out what was going on. First i checked the relay and fuel pump and both are fine then i checked and cleaned the fuel filter, primed the intake with starter spray and it still wont start. It sounds like it wants to turn over but it just wont. I know a little about cars enough to get myself out of paying a mechanic but i dont know absolutely know everything. I was thinking maybe it has air in the fuel line but i dont know how or where to bleed it. If anyone knows what else i should do or what could be the problem please HELP!

Does it crank?
Other things to check:
These trucks are not designed to have the tank run dry. The fuel pump could have been damaged.
There are plenty of threads on checking the ignition and fuel pressure.

Yeah, check fuel pressure. On the 95s, there's a fuel pump prime terminal. It's a random wire with a female terminal on it. Driver inner fender, kinda by the abs module. Jump that to 12V+, and it will energize the pump. No bleeding is necessary, if the pump is working, it'll pressurize the line, and it'll clear the air out through the return fuel line
