2000 Blazer won't start

You need to find out what is missing when it doesn't start, spark or fuel. If you think that it is a fuel pressure issue you can check for proper pressure with a fuel pressure gauge.

It sounds like a fairly typical fuel pump failure, but without testing the pressure in the fuel line, it's still just a guess. If you're not hearing the pump - that's a very good indicator, and in fact one that many of us would consider good enough. You do not need to buy the entire pump and sending unit. You can buy the pump alone for a fraction of the price, and simply replace the pump on your sender. Suggest you get some fuel injector clamps to reattach the fuel line at the pump, rather than rely on the friction fit.

Thanks for the replies...that is exactly what I plan to try! If I can get it running Saturday I'm going to get the pressure tested.

Otherwise I'll just replace the pump...if I can't get just the motor I'll just do the whole unit...it has 120K on it, so I'm do anyway!

Thanks again for the help!

There's actually two parts. Is it being turned on and is it turning on. If it's being turned on but it doesn't turn on, that implies the pump motor is bad. But if it's not being turned on, the problem is either 'back' before the pump (for example, no power) but you have to know WHY it's not being turned on.

Divide and conquer. Before you buy a new pump, either manually apply power to see if it will run, or 'splice in' a wire and hook it to a voltmeter and watch it being turned on and off. If you see it being turned on and off, and it doesn't work, then feel better about plunking down the money to try a pump.
