dead car...should be a simple fix??
-
I had the same thing happen to my Blazer and it was the fuel pump going out. It isn't that bad for it to be fixed mine costed $600 because I got a whole new gas tank at the same time.

so I just went out (9:00 am) to check if I had spark. As far as I can tell all my plugs are right between the engine and the firewall. So I cant even fucking get my hand back there to get the plug wires off. Why the fuck did I take a job that depends on my pos? Any ideas fs?

Again, what year is your Blazer? I'm assuming 4.3 V6. Vortec or TBI?
You should hear your fuel pump (a little whining noise in the fuel tank). The pump should run for a few seconds when you first turn on the key, and then go again after cranking for a while. If you want to check the fuel pressure, there should be a schrader valve (looks like a tire valve stem) on the fuel rail up by the injectors. If you don't have a fuel pressure gage, you can put a rag over the valve and poke the center with a screwdriver. It will squirt like crazy if there's any fuel pressure in the system.
