Turn over but won't start...

Chevrolet Blazer 2001 Chevy blazer, 2wd, 4.3 180000 miles
So every day when I first start to crank my blazer, (2001 Chevy blazer 2wd, 2door, 4.3) the motor will turn and turn but not start. If I spray starting fluid through breather and try to start it will crank and run until I cut it off. If it sits for a couple hours it will do the same thing, wont start til I use starting fluid. Rarely sometimes it will crank the second time without fluid. I've changed crank sensor, new battery, cap and rotor, it has ngk iridium plugs, new wires, checked fuel pressure which is at 62, new fuel filter, pump does engage when key is turned. I have fuel, spark, compression. I'm out of ideas. Please help

Did you check the fuel pressure while it was running, or while it was cranking trying to start? Some pumps when they're going bad will not supply enough pressure to start while cranking, but will while they are running

It sounds like the Mass Airflow Sensor is bad.

I have a new fuel pump and spark plugs and wires but he still won't start. Makes a winning sound when trying to start. When he tryes to start it back fires

I believe timing is way off after all the parts you have replaced. You definitely need to get it on TDC for #1 sparkplug and then make sure the rotor is pointing at the #1 plug wire in the cap. Something similar happened to a Blazer I had just from pulling the distributor rotor out and putting it back in. It turns out that because of the way the gears are cut. When it slides out it turns just a little ahead. When I put it back in I had to start a little before #1 position. Then when it was all the way down it lined up perfectly.

The only thing to add is that now my fuel and temp. Gauges have joined in and do`not work so its a challenge guessing when to get fuel. I am often filling just to make sure!

If it's a blazer your losing lights... try not only checking the basic fuses change out the main fuze it'll be located below cigarette lighter... easy fix...

I have the same inconvenient with my Blazer 98 and, apparently, it is the speedometer sensor that is installed in the transmission and is magnetic.

Starter altenator battery when in doubt change them all out... might also consider adding a couple more inches of wire to starter cuz the wires that are there could be exposed fraying rusting etc.. . This interrupts full function of powering the car up and accelerating when commended to.

Chevrolet Blazer 2000 BLAZER V6 4.3 4DR 2WD 153000 miles
I purchased a 2000 chevy blazer 4dr 2wd 4.3 v6. I looked up online for the wiring diagram for the stock stereo. And then went and found the diagram for the new stereo. New stereo due to the old one with bose with cd and tape not working. Out with the old in with the new. When i was done. I still had 3 wires that i could not account for coming from the blazer. I taped them off and continued on. With the amp i grounded it and connected the remote turn on from the deck. And with the +12v constant to the amp i saw an open spot on the fuse box just inside the drivers door. Located at the bottom of… Read complete

Chevrolet Blazer 2004 2 Door, Sunroof, Curved Hatch on rear with Tailgate 195380 miles
It shifts into reverse, but doesn't engage. Also; doesn't shift into overdrive and will not shift down in the OD gear when slowing down. I just replaced the TCC solenoid and changed the filter and also tranny fluid. Still doesn't engage in ? Any clues to what is wrong?
