blazer 4300 vortec question!!!

[85xjwoody]

I am at work and a gentlemen pulled up with a blazer with this engine in it. It will start and run for about two minutes and shut off. Does anybody know what is causing this so I might be able to help this guy out. It will do this every time. Let me know what you think. Thanks.

He says the year is a 93. It is a V6 with the vortec package. I was possibly thinking vapor lock but I don't know this vehicle at all.

alarm system or is it stolen and he's using the valet key ?

The guy called the local junkyard and told them to come and get it!! This is a really nice looking truck. It is in excellent condition. He told me that he doesn't want it anymore and is going to buy a new vehicle. The junkyard gave him 200.00 for it. I told him that he was out of his mind and he said that he didn't care. Goes to show ya that as you get older you get a shorter patience span. He could of sold that truck easily for over 750.00. His loss not mine I guess.

What a dumbass, I had two Blazers and they were great vehicles that lasted well over 200K and were still going strong when I sold them with only regular maintenance along the way.
