1992 starting, then stalling by lesahudson

I have a 1992 chevy blazer that will start and run for about 5 minutes, until it gets warm and then stall. It will restart after it cools down, but then stalls again. I have replaced the fuel pump. Do you have any suggestions. Money is tight, and I can't afford to make costly repairs, that won't fix the problems.
Thanks

Sounds like a classic coil problem. Check to see if you are getting spark when the engine dies.

How much does it cost for a new starter for my vehicle?

I just had the starter replaced on my 1993 Blazer, but she is still having a problem starting. It has a 4.3 L V6 Vortec with 191,000 miles. I've been told it could be build up in the injectors, but I've also been told it could be a compression problem. When I start it after sitting overnight I have to spray carburetor cleaner in the intake valve for it to fire. After that it's fine unless it sits longer that 30 - 45 minutes. After that time frame the whole spray to fire process starts again. Can anybody tell me what this problem is so I don't spend a fortune on pointless work and carburetor cleaner???!!!

1992 S-10 Blazer won't start all the time by sheps47

I have a 92 S-10 Blazer with a 4.3L. It starts fine most of the time, but every once in awhile it won't start. It acts like the battery is dying. After waiting 10 minutes it will start up fine (without charging the battery). It does it whether or not I've charged the battery or not. Please help.

Could be an intermittent cell in the battery. How old is the battery, and have you checked the voltage on the battery when this occurs? Are the battery terminals clean?
 
Easy trick: when the engine won't start, turn on the head lights. If they are dim, you either have a bad battery or connection, probably also at the battery. If they are bright, but dim noticeably when you try to start the car, same thing, either battery or connections.

I think the battery is pretty old. It has been drained completely twice when the dome light was left on accidentally. The voltage is around 14 when it is running.
Thanks for the help. I'll check the headlights and see if the battery is the problem.
Thanks!!!

Well, if you are seeing 14vdc with the engine running, you know your alternator is working!

My '96 would turn over good and only start intermittently...it was the COIL! It was arcing and grounding out to the engine. Would turn over, but no fire! Replace coil and wire and problem all fixed!! It took us replacing all kinds of parts relating to the ignition to find this out!! CHECK YOUR COIL!! If it sparks like a christmas tree...it's no good!!
