Why does your 1997 blazer just die going down the road not fuel pump or filter been replaced?

Answer 1

I could still be your fuel pump even if you just replaced it. The replacement fuel pumps are really cheap and really poor quality, but we call by them because an OEM one is $500-900, just for the part. I've installed brand new pumps from Carter, Bosch and some work for a week and some work for year and others worked for 5 mins. The only fairly good aftermarket pumps seem to be AC Delco. Anyway, have someone turn your ignition on while you listen near your gas tank, if you don't hear a clicking noise and pump priming then its still you pump. You will have to drop the tank again, take it back to where you got it from and exchange it. See if AC Delco makes one for your model, if its more expensive its because it will work. Somes times its even worthwhile going to the wreckers and finding a factory fuel pump of a vehicle with less kms, it will likely last longer than an aftermarket. Good luck. JohhnyB
