[QUOTE=97whiteblazer;746595]My 1997 Blazer was involved in a hit & run accident, I didn't have full coverage, and since the idiot who blew the stop sign drove away quickly, this means I need to attempt to repair my truck myself. I do not believe the frame of the Blazer is bent, so I can most likely get replacement parts from others who are parting out their Blazers, as I believe the 1996 - 2002 year Blazers all have the same body parts and same engine. The damage is to the front end. Driver side headlight is smashed out, front bumper is bent, hood is bent, and the plastic silver grill was cracked, but amazingly I was still able to drive home 15 miles. Over the past 3 weeks I have successfully started the Blazer about 6 times, and I have driven it a few blocks each week. Today it did not start. It turns over so it's not the battery, and it's not the starter. What is your best guess as to why it's suddenly not starting?

--- Update why it wasn't starting: The fuel pump had to be replaced.

+ the front metal bumper has been replaced
+ the plastic silver grill has been replaced
+ both headlights have been replaced
+ both left and right turn signals have been replaced

 

Congrats on getting your Blazer back on the road.

I sure hope I can avoid having to replace the fuel pump!
