92 K5 Starting Problem - 8/7/2007 6:34:33 PM    92K5   Posts: 1 Joined: 8/7/2007 Status: offline I have a 1992 K5 Blazer with a 350 engine and an intermittent starting problem.  When starting, the engine cranks but will not fire.  Upon checking the throttlebody, there was no fuel.  Added some fuel to the throttlebody and the engine started and ran fine.  The problem did not reoccur for several days and more than a dozen starts.  Does the fuel relay cause the fuel pump to run in the start position?  Other ideas? Thanks  Post #: 1
