Asked by Danielt45 Apr 29, 2018 at 12:05 PM about the 2000 Chevrolet Blazer Trailblazer 4-Door 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Most of the time when I start my car it cranks for
like 2-5 second and I have to tap on the gas then it
starts up. Is it the spark plugs?

Cycle the key on and off a few times before you crank it, w/o touching the gas pedal, see if it helps? If it does, check your fuel system. How long since a tune-up? A good tune-up wouldn't hurt anything. It idles ok, once you get it started?

Did you try cycling the key, like I asked? Did it help? Check and clean anything that has to do with idle air system.

Just turn the key till the dash lights come on, don't crank it. Yes, turn it on and off.

At the moment, I can't think of anything else? Any applicable trouble codes? I need something to lead us in the right direction.

Did you use a gage and check proper fuel pressure? I doubt your fuel gage would have anything to do with it. You can check proper voltage and ground for the fuel pump. Any applicable trouble codes?
