Trouble starting 1997 chevy blazer 2 door 105,000 miles
Replaced:
Battery
Fuel filter
Starter
Rotor and cap
Spark Plugs
Cat
Running out of ideas
I turn the key to start it, the engine just cranks takes about 3 tries then starts and once it is started runs good, doesn't stall at all thats why it doesnt sound that it is the fuel pump. I brought it to a friend he said that my motor mounts are bad and my y pipe needs to be tighten.
My y pipe was smashed in the middle so i cut it and put a flex pipe on it with u mounts. Seems like its holding up.
I'm going to bring it to a garge i want to give him ideas of what to looks at so he isnt replacing things that doesnt need to be replaced and charging me i am trying to get rid of the car.

the guy i am bringing it to said that it most likly the fuel pump he replaced 3 of the on blazers in the past year. he said it would cost $200 from what i see that seems like a good price. Then i could finally get rid of it. Since winter is coming what do u think is a good asking price:
I bought it for $5800 with 98000 miles
1997 chevy blazer LS 2 door 4x4 good condition
105,000 miles now
new battery
new start
ect.
new stero system
what you think is a good asking price

At least 2 hours labor, could be 3 or 4 hours. You need to remove the tank to get at the pump. The pump assembly is a minimum $325.00 for
a Carter assembly, over $500.00 from a Chevy parts counter for an A.C.Delco assembly. The pump alone is only available from Chevy, costs about $200.00, but you're better off with the whole assembly. Don't forget to get new gas line clips , one 3/8" and one 5/16" for the feed and return lines. Using the old clips can cause leaks where they attach at the pump assembly.

I just paid $4300 for my 97 blazer LT 4 door 4x4 in good condition with 109,000. I'd probably pay a little less for the 2 door LS model.
