Default 95 Chevy Blazer s10 4.3 liter cranks&fires/no start timing issues poss.

I've been having issues my 95 Chevy Blazer 4.3 S10 vortec engine I've done many things to it spark plugs spark plug wires fuel filter, oil change replaced all them yet still it cranks their spark but it isn't starting . We're thinking that maybe it's the timing but we can't find it the place where the notches are we don't know where the actual distributor has all the positioning for the spark plug wires we want to make sure it's right anybody got any ideas on why this is happening and how we can fix it.

Assuming it has spark. If you pour a half cup of gas down the throttle body, will it start and then die?

Careful with that advice, that much raw fuel on an engine out of time can BLOW BACK FIRE in someones face

Sounds like maybe the fuel pressure regulator is leaking into the intake. Do you have access to a fuel pressure gauge? Maybe you can borrow one from the local parts store?

If it is very cold outside (like +2°c or colder), you may have to cycle the key, for it to start. My Blazer had this problem for a few years, then it just went away by itself (I have nooooo idea). As for how to cycle; turn the key to the ON position and wait for at least 3 to 5 seconds. Then turn key OFF. Then immediately repeat 2 more times. On the third try, after waiting..........crank and see what happens.

IMHO we have to straighten out some ideas and things here.

Your thread title says 95 S10 Blazer
In thread #4 you post about a 94 having had some issues.

We need to know the exact type of engine. Until the 94's there were two options for the fuel injection. Starting in 95 there should be only one.
Do you have access to a code reader and a timing light?

Then we have to determine why you get fuel into the oil and into the engine.
If a fuel injected engine is not starting within 3 attempts of 10 seconds each - stop trying.
At this point we don't know if you have a fuel leak (post #6 from TomA) or tried so many times as to flood the engine.

Please attach a picture showing your engine and have a look into which year and which engine option your Blazer has.

we've put gas in the air intake because there is no carburetor and it will not start it still does the same thing it turns over buy the starter but it doesn't go to try to even start and we found that number three or four don't have no spark at ALL.SOMETHINGS DEFINITELY WRONG
