Fuel Pump
I had a similar problem with my 93 Jimmy, although I hadn't just bought mine. First thing that I would suggest checking is to stand back by the fuel tank. Have someone else turn the key, right before the point where it tries to start. You should hear the fuel pump come on when it primes the injectors. If you don't hear the sound, more than likely you have a bad fuel pump. The other way to tell is to spray starter fluid into the intake. The car will start and run even if the fuel pump is going bad, because it will create its own suction to pull the fuel. If you turn it off and let it sit and have the same problem starting the next time, then the fuel pump needs replaced. The pump is in the gas tank and certainly a job to leave to a professional. I hope this helps. Good luck.
