Hey! Hope someone can help me..
I bought a Used 95 Chevy Blazer with 170k miles a few months ago. High mileage, I know.. but it was $500, can't beat that!
Anyway, aside from needing to have a tie rod replaced soon, I just started having this problem where when I start it on a cold engine, it shuts off about 20 seconds later. But it'll start up again without a problem, and drive for hours after that. Mind you, I always give the blazer about a minute or so to warm up before driving, as I've heard they need it. Not sure what it could be.. I've heard of blazers commonly shutting off while driving (which is nuts in itself), but shutting off 20 seconds after starting? Then being fine after that?
The last owner told me they gave it a tune up not too long ago.. but I'm starting to think that might not have been true, or it was lot longer ago than he said. Could it be that it needs a tune up?

Any help's appreciated. Thanks!

 

naww. tune up wise only thing that can cause a stall is plugs completely burned out (as in years and years of driving) or possibly cap/rotor.

Id try taking off the idle air control (on the throttle body) and spray it and the inside of the throttle body down with brake cleaner. scrub em down with your wifes favorite toothbrush

 

High mileage.. 170k to these things is like fresh off the lot LOL
