Hey there! I found this site on a youtube video I watched on troubleshooting trailblazers. Thing is-I'm so sick of getting screwed and I'm realizing I'm not the only one. My car wont start on the first try. If I crank it once, turn it off and try again it starts no problem (well, sometimes it still takes a sec).
It's a 2003 Chevy Trailblazer... I think it's an LS but I couldnt find that info anywhere on the car so I'm not positive. Also not positive about the size of the engine. In the 5 years I've had this car, I've replaced the ignition switch, starter, alternator, battery, and serpentine belt twice, and still my car is struggling to start again. Most recently (as in last Wednesday) I had the thermostat, an engine coil, and the spark plugs replaced. When I got the car back is when it got really bad. Before that it would stutter sometimes but eventually start and twice I had to have it jumped (even though the battery is still fairly new) and then it worked great again. But now, it ALWAYS needs two cranks, unless I have recently driven it then it starts up the first time.
I live in Indiana and the only people I know who know anything about cars are my grandfather and uncle, both in alabama. Over the phone my uncle mentioned it may be the fuel line or not enough fuel pressure. Any other suggestions or thoughts on what to do?? I just don't want to keep paying. For the recent work I got screwed and charged 1100 dollars and I just don't have any more to spend right now and it would suck if it dies anyway. Please help.
