Ok I'll check on that, after removing the cap and rotor though, the rotor looks pretty dang gross lol.. the cap looks fine though..

 

Ok after replacing the spark plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor it still will not start.. but both the cap and rotor were bad.. would it be ok to tow my Blazer using a tow bar? I have a friend with a shop who said he'd help me cheap lol.. but I heard its bad to tow it..

 

Make sure trans and transfer case are in neutral and don't go over 45 mph.

 

Ok, now that's just turning the key and putting it in neutral right? Not trying to be dumb just making sure lol..

 

Sorry double post, stupid phone..

 

That works for the trans but, if you have push button 4wd (which I'm pretty sure you do) you have two hold two buttons simulataniously to get your transfer case into neutral. I think it's 2 HI and 4 HI but, check your manual for sure. If you don't you'll fry your tranfer case.

 

Yo! Something like that just happen to me yesterday! At first, I thought I ran I of gas, but everything just shut off all at once! Had it checked out today ! Fuel pump is working fine! Fueses seem to be fine. Is there some sort of shut of swith I should be looking at? I drive a 2001 xtreme! This is the first time this ever happen 2 me! Help!

 

Glad I checked lol, didn't even know I could do that.. at least towing it to where it is now wasn't far because I didn't do that :-).. and I'll have to download the manual and check but yes I have the push button 4WD..

and not trying to be rude but jumping in on someone else's thread is not going to help you, every vehicle is different even if the problems seem the same.. starting your own thread or reading the sticky is a better place to start..

 

Just wanted to thank everyone 4 all the great advise on here! The reason my Xtreme wouldn't start was do to not getting a spark 2 the spark plugs! Needed a distribtor-cap and rotor which was 47 bucks, and a case of beer for my best bro to put it in! Also ! my bad for jumping on someone's thread ! Very new to posting and threading! Keep on Blazin and stay safe!

 

The electronic modules are famous for popping and causing a no start issue.

When you hooked up the spark plug to test for spark was the spark blue, white, or orange.

Orange is good spar and most times would rule out electrical.

White is to hot and usually points to the pick up coil in the distributor. However if this is the case it would be easier to replace the whole distributor because even though the pick up coil is cheap the labor would be more expensive than replacing the whole distributor.

Blue would be a cold spark and usually would point to the ignition module inside the distributor.

If you decided to replace the whole distributor it would come with a new pick up coil and module.

If you got a good orange spark I wold try squirting some starting fluid into the throttle if it starts it would either be your fuel pump not giving enough pressure to start or the fuel pump relay being weak.

On most GM engines the fuel pump pressure needs to be around 90psi to start the engine and 45psi to run it. Thats why I try the starting fluid method when I do not have access to a pressure tester.

Good Luck with this and let me know if any of this helped.
