I have a 1996 4x4 blazer. When I try to start it, it just turns & turns & it will get a spurt where is sounds like it's going to turn over & then it don't, it just goes back to turning. If I keep spraying starting fluid in it, it will eventually start & once it's started it runs like a champ, until I turn it off again. Any ideas?

this may sound low end, but maybe check the spark plugs and wires. also - is anything possibly clogging the air intake a little?

I will def. check. I am gonna put the battery charger on it here in a little bit & get a video of it trying to start, do you think that will help diagnose?

Yeah, if you don't know when the plugs/wires/cap/rotor were last changed, that is definitely a good place to start. Also, while you are at it, swap in a fresh fuel filter.
