The blaze has been at my dad's friends (mechanic) for a few days now. I took it over there after I couldn't figure out what was wrong. He confirmed it wasn't a spark issue or a fuel-related issue. So that knocks out plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor, fuel pump, fuel leak, injectors.
According to him, it is a computer issue. The computer isn't reading the air-fuel ratio right and that is why it takes 30 to 45 seconds for it to finally crank, but when it does crank it runs well. He doesn't know the solution as of yet, but if he can't figure the solution out in a few more days, looks like the ecu needs to be re-flashed. :/

I never thought I'd say this... but I'm beginning to hate this truck.

Nope, figured it out today. My amp cable was not allowing a good connection to the battery somehow. Removed the amp cable and it's starting fine again.
It's still on Craigslist.

I dunno, but it sure is a steal! I would pay that full price and buy that gentleman a beer for asking such a reasonable amount!

I have come to the conclusion........
That Im going to start over from ground 0.Pull out the rebuilt engine thats 1 year older than my Jimmy is 95 engine in a 96 that Im going to put the 96 engine back in it.Simply cause a wiring harness wont match up to the 95 cpi.Then I just got finished spending $600 on having my transrebuilt and a stage 2 shift kit.
