my 2000 4dr 4x4 blazer has 106k miles on it
i went to visit my grandpa in the nursing home today
and it is on a four lane highway
well i was accelerating to get into the fast lane of the highway
and it just quit. it wouldnt start
i think it might be a fuel pump
its weird because i drive this car everyday of the year
and it has been driven everyday since 2001 when my dad bought it with 12k miles
but i havent driven it for the past two days because
my sister got a new car and shes been drivin me around in it
and all of a sudden i drive it today and it stops
kinda ironic how after the only 2 days i dont drive it
something goes wrong
i guess its jelous of my sisters new car lol

 

You have to verify your fuel pump theory with a fuel pressure test.

 

how do i do that?

 

With a fuel pressure gauge... Check the Tech Article (DIY) section for the diagnostic procedure. The fuel pressure test port is behind the throttle body and to the driver side on the fuel feed line.

 

ok thanks man
it got towed to the shop so i gotta pick it up tomorrow and try that

 

Let us know.

 

Hats off to you for caring about your grandpa!

 

thank you
hes a good guy, still goin strong at 93

i had the shop look at it since it was already there and it was the fuel pump
500 bucks in parts and 300 in labor

 

Ouch!!

 

yea, but hey what can ya do
i would do it myself if i wasnt spending so much
time fixing up my sisters new car
but i didnt want to get in a hurry and break somethin and
not be able to drive it
monday.
i have to wax, clean, and put in a radiator in my sisters car
this week too
but my dad paid for all that lol
