Is the fuel pump priming? Can you hear it when you turn the key to on just before start?

Re: 99 Blazer tries to
Well, since the mechanics actually CAME TO MY HOUSE and replaced the ignition coil which was shooting out sparks when the key was turned, the vehicle has not acted up. However, for the past three weeks, it has been good one day and bad the next, so I refuse to trust it until it works with no problems for at least a week!
Thanks to everyone who responded with helpful advice! |

I would imagine it is, having been replaced a couple of days ago for $500!!! It damn well BETTER be! But just out of curiosity, what exactly does it sound like (just in case, God forbid, the new ignition coil has not solved the problem)? |

Re: 99 Blazer tries to "die" while driving slowly
This sounds like a coil and a MAF sensor problem.
The coil is fixed, now the MAF. Also, ever done a tuneup?

If by tuneup, you mean replace the spark plug and wires, the filters, flushing out the system (whatever that means), change the rotor and cap, etc., yeah they just did all that. So far so good with the new coil. I still think the MAF sensor should be cleaned, but I hesitate to have my husband do it. He's failry competent with cars, but I am afraid he will damge one of the wires and we'll have to get a new one. And I am NOT taking this back to any mechanics in the next couple of weeks unless it dies. I'm going stir-crazy with nothing to drive! |

Dont be scared to let him clean it, he just has to be very careful, if he just takes his time and goes over it gently he will be fine, and if you do have to replace it (because of broken wires) dont take it to the mechanic, just go to a parts store and buy one, because if you got the old one out to clean it, your half way there in the process of putting a new one in. So might as well try it, if it works and you dont break it, you know what to do next time, if you do break it, you will know what not to do next time, and youll know how to replace one (god forbid you would have to replace one again), Good Luck!

Just tell him to use brake cleaner and a extra fine toothbrush on the wires.
