What's up guys and gals. Just picked up a 1997 Blazer LT 4X4 from the Dealership today. I test drove it twice ruffly around 40 miles before I actually bought it. I checked out the undercarriage, engine, etc... after purchasing the Blazer I picked up my wife and we proceeded on our way to meet some friends at the theatre. Well at the one light it stalled (I figured I ran out of Gas). Missed the Movie, ah no problem figured we'd catch the next showing (as I had gotten gas by then). Got to the theatre, backed in to the parking stall and pulled forward a bit and it stalled again and wouldn't start. Called the Dealership, etc... anywho to make a long story short it's at the Dealership and they will fix it and make it right. Not sure if it's the Fuel pump wich was replaced (I think they said 80 or 87,000) about 39,139 miles ago, Batterie or Alternater. The funniest thing about this hole thing is the State Policeman that pulled over to see if we were alright, was profiling me but in a nice manner so to speak.
Sorry for the long winded first post.
Take care, and looking forward to learning and modding.

^^^^^^ Thank you 
Well heard back from the Dealership. They said it needs an Ignition Switch and Cylinder. Not sure if that will fix it, but apparently the Ignition Switch was acting like it was trying to start all the time (which I can see draining the battery and not wanting to start after it stalled) (I can also see that with it acting like it was trying to start all the time it would be dumping fuel all the time which could flood it out) If I am incorrect in any of my assumptions please someone correct me. I'm just hoping this will correct and fix the problem.
Although I am thinking of taking her to a Mechanic I know and having him go over her reall good.
What do you guys think any suggestions????

Update, ok the got the parts in and installed, checked the Fuel Pump and Fuel Pressure both are good. The drove it for a while left it sit running to make sure all is well, and it stalled on them and wouldn't start. They called there Chevy Garage and with there help said it was the Starter, so that will be in tomorrow and hopefully that will solve the problem.
