paceman Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 So last night while driving at 65 mph cruising down the highway my 2002 chevy trailblazer suddenly turns off. I coast to the shoulder. stop, put it in park and it fires right up and I drove the remaining 3 miles to home no problem. Get check things over (I am no mechanic) and everything appears to look ok. This morning I go out to start and it cranks a few times, does not fire, and then it won't even crank??? Have a machanic buddy coming over to look at it now. Anybody have a reccomendation on what is going on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leech~~ Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Any check eng lights on? Maybe a bad Alt and battery, sounds like a no power? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishit Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Make sure your battery connections are tight. I had a loose connection on my truck, it would turn over but not start. Found one battery connection was loose, tightend it and away I went. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott K Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 It is getting into fuel pump season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainMusky Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Intermittent fuel pump issues? Have you replaced the fuel pump? If not it is on borrowed time.Otherwise it would appear electrical like battery connection etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paceman Posted May 22, 2014 Author Share Posted May 22, 2014 Tried all the battery connections.. all appears to be good. The ftact that it won't even crank/turn over is intresting. My buddy is think ignition switch. Apparently common on theses rigs. Took it to his shop to work on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott K Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Ah, I missed the wont crank. A fuel pump wont cause that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
