its a 97 blazer; 98,5xx on the clock;and i bought it in april with 96,8xx on the clock. ill post what the vin starts with when i am able to get the to car. the reason i think its the alternator is because when i brought it to the mechanic i rember him saying that i may need a new one soon

Ignition switch - run a search for it on the forum. '97's are notorious for it.

Yeh its your ignition switch. Get it fixed. I had a bad ignition switch on my truck and it would just stop intermittently for no reason. Very dangerous!
Get it fixed.

same exact thign is happening wiht my truck as we speak, i have replaced cpi and nut kit, tuned it up, new throttle position sensor and 02 sensor and i can tell you it is none of the above. As far as the ignition switch i am not really sure yet, my truck is being evaluated right now, ill let you know when i find out what mine is
