Well I made it about 100 feet before I got stuck. Rocking it back and forth kicked a TON of snow up onto the engine. When the engine got warm, it melted the snow and it got into the plugs and wires. Wouldn't start at first, and when it did it ran like ****. Replaced wires/plugs and it ran fine.
The Blazer I have now all of a sudden decided to not start on me. Literally one day I go out and nothing. It had been working fine without a single problem. Pulled the cap and you could see green crap over all the terminals. Replaced the cap and runs better than ever.
So I'd say start with plugs/wires/cap/rotor. Should work, and it's cheap as hell on a lil 4 cyl.
Greatly appreciated man! Thanks for the input, its time for a tuneup. It has to be this for sure. Once again thanks, it wouldnt hurt to do a little tuneup anyway, and yes it is less than $50.
