Bad points , leaking or fryed coil, shorted wires leading to timing device.
Greetings, A code 42 indicates that the electronic spark timing bypass circuit or the electronic spark timing circuit is either open or shorted. A malfunctioning HEI module can cause this.
yes a worn timing belt can can cause an engine to miss, most of the time though it is only on an automatic transmission vehicle while in gear at a stop. if the belt is broken of course it won't run.
Bad thermostat, plugged or damaged radiator, loss of coolant, ignition timing is off, faulty water pump, head gasket... and who knows what other problems can cause overheating.
Code 21 is coolant temperature high. A faulty thermostat stuck closed or a defective coolant temperature switch could be the cause. Code 43 is Electronic Spark Control. This can be due to timing being off. When setting the timing you need to disconnect the tan/black wire. If that doesn't fix it then the Engine Control Module or Prom could be at fault.
Whenever someone has trouble timing a Chevrolet V8 engine, the cause for the problem generally points to a stretched or worn out timing chain & gears. Make sure that all timing advance mechanisms are disabled. Depending on the age of the vehicle in question it may be as simple as plugging the vacuum line to the distributor, or as difficult as disabling the advance circuit of the engine control unit. If all advance systems have been disabled and you find it difficult to set the timing accurately, inspect the timing chain for stretch.
There are several things that can cause your automobile to act in this manner. The most common cause is a malfunctioning fuel pump.
Answer it could be that the vacuum advance on the distributor is not working. You need a timing light to be able to tell, but when the accelerator is pushed down, this causes the engine vacuum to increase, which should automatically advance the ignition timing. If the hose has come loose, or has a hole in it, the distributor will not advance. The vacuum advance itself also might be bad. A bad spark plug(s) or spark plug wire(s) could also cause those symptoms.

Your 1996 Chevrolet Blazer may not start due to a faulty ignition switch. The electronic fuel pump may also be faulty and need to be changed.
Faulty air lines, faulty valves, faulty brake chambers, faulty pop off valves on the air tanks
Faulty ball bearings lead to bearing failure.
Weak fuel pump? Fuel filter? Air filter? Sloppy timing chain Timing not adjusted properly Vacuum advance not working? Accelerator pump in carb not working?
