- Does your Blazer have an electric fuel pump? The pump in my '88 Honda
- Accord had similar intermittant problems which culminated in my leaving
- it with my mechanic for almost a week before it failed for him. Once it
- failed, his diagnosis was easy. The tow truck operator had an aerosol
- can of some fuel substitute that he sprayed into the carb. throat to convince
- himself that it wasn't the battery (ie. the engine fired and ran fine
- as long as he sprayed this stuff down the carb, but died when he stopped).
- I've seen similar products in auto-parts stores -- this could narrow
- down your diagnosis.

- Good Luck!
