Without knowing the make and year it's impossible to speculate. Could be a low battery not spinning it over fast enough, a bad ECM, a broken distributor, a failed ignition coil or any number of other things -.

What does the flywheel do on a 1996 Chevy blazer?

For the engine to start and run, Something has to make it turn / rotate and that is were the fly-wheel comes into play. When you turn the key to the start mode it sends power to the starter and a little gear comes out of the back of the starter and fits into the ring gear on the fly-wheel and that turns the engine over so it will start.
