Gasoline engines need three things to run - air and fuel (in the proper proportion), and a spark (at the right time). The first thing you must do is figure out which you are missing. air - throttle linkage? valves not opening (cam and valvetrain)? fuel - gas in the tank? fuel filter? fuel pump? carburetor or injectors? computer dead? spark - plugs? wires? coil pack? distributor? pickup or crank trigger? computer dead? You need to know how, or learn how to check these things. It's tough to impart enough knowledge in a couple of paragraphs but that's a start.

To fix a 1998 Chevy Blazer that cranks but does not start, first check the fuel system by ensuring there is fuel in the tank and that the fuel pump is functioning properly. Next, inspect the ignition system, including spark plugs and wires, to confirm they are in good condition and firing correctly. Additionally, examine the battery and starter to rule out electrical issues. If these components are in working order, consider checking for any trouble codes with an OBD-II scanner to identify potential sensor or engine issues.
