Hi
New here but have been reading forum for quite a while now.
Question, have a 96 Blazer 4x4 witht he 4.3 vortec in it. We were having issues starting it on cold wet mornings, replaced distributor cap and rotor, not much change. Would only start if we pour gas down the carborator. Changed the fuel filter...hoping, still the same, will only start with fuel poured down the carb. We have to do this every morning to start it, but it will start on its own as long as you have to restart it within 2-4 hours, and sometimes i still have to pour gas in it to make it start. The pump is running the same as it was before, time wise, and we can smell the fuel once its pumped thru. If we check to see how much fuel is flowing, the flow seems good.
Any suggestions? Have not had the fuel pressure tested as yet, we live in a small town and have to see where i can get this done but am looking for suggestions otherwise as well.
Also, we are thinking maybe the fpr is messed, but we would like to know if anyone has pics of what this looks like inside, on a non fuel injected engine so we know what we are looking at to fix this if its the problem.
Thanks

Have you dropped an engine from an older Blazer into this one? The ''96 has fuel injection.

No, its the original engine, i just figured with a carb it would not have fuel injection...maybe i''m a blonde...wait, i am blonde, lol.
In all seriuosnous, i actually thought there would not be fuel injection with the carborator and all that. Guess i was wrong, lol. Any ideas anyone has on what might be the problem, asside from the 400 dollar fuel pump, we are trying the cheap fixes first.
