Replaced distributor ran good for 30 min then shut off

I replaced the distributor on 2002 s10 blazer 4x4 4.3 and it ran fine for 30 min then it shut off again and wont crank. Could the distributor be slightly off timing? Or idk?

Double check all plugs, then check fuel pressure

Welcome to the Blazer Forum! If it ran fine for 30 minutes I doubt it is the Distributor... Did you use the old cap or is it a new one?

Distributor would not affect the engine cranking with the starter. If this isn't what you mean, then you need to re-state your issue. Do you mean that it will crank but won't start? If this is the case, does it have spark at the coil wire? Was the SES light on after you replaced the distributor and it was running for that 30 minutes? If so, what code was set?
