I have a 95 2dr 4x4 Blazer. Its has about 162,000 miles on it. I have to turn the key a couple times to get it started. Usually i turn the key once starter spins no action. Second turn and the truck starts normal. Sometimes it takes a couple more turns of the key to start. Has this happened to anybody else? Does anybody has any suggestions what to look for to be the problem?

 

Is the battery fully charged?
When was your last tune-up...plugs, cap, rotor, air and fuel filter?
Have you run any fuel injector cleaner through the system?
Have you checked the fuel pressure?

 

I have put a new battery in within the last year. I did spark plugs just recently. Cap and rotor 24k ago. I haven't tried the fuel injector cleaner which ill try today. Fuel filter i changed that about once a year. I'm going to give the injector cleaner a shot. It seems seafoam is a popular suggestion on here and change the filter after that. The fuel pressure i havent found out what it was supposed to be at to see if mine was right. If i remember correctly i have 48 psi of pressure when i checked it last. I heard it was supposed to be more than that. Thank you for the suggestions so far.

 

Could it just be that your starter is starting to show signs of damage? Maybe its starting to go bad?

 

i thought of that too. I just didnt want to but one if it didnt need it. Im going to try that after the seafoam. Plus they never look fun to do. Thanks for the suggestion.
