Was it missing before you changed the wires, plugs etc?
are you sure the gap is right. Did you check or replace the control module.
Any water or moisture in the distributor, any vacuum leak.
is it hard to start?... Check control mod, timing, wires etc, egr for leak

A faulty ignition module could be the problem. some vehicles have one for the whole system while others have multiples. you can test individual cylinders by first removing the fuel pump relay, then one at a time remove the spark plugs and ground it to the engine block while a helper hits the key. you should clearly be able to see a spark jump across the spark plug. you can also purchase a diagnostic tool which you hold over the wire while a helper turns the key and it reads the current in an inductive manner. if all cylinders are receiving spark then your timing may be out, in some newer (96 and up) vehicles fine tuning of the timing is achieved via ecm in conjunction with the ignition module and cam/crank sensors. in older and a few 96 and up vehicles timing is done solely by the clock position of the distributor. a timing gun can be used to establish correct timing (refer to owners manual/repair manual for proper advancement or retard of ignition timing)



in the event that you have a properly working and timed ignition its most likely you have a burnt valve or dead cylinder, a compression gauge is the best way of diagnosing these issues.



lastly vortec fuel injection systems are finicky about fuel pressure, incorrect fuel pressure will cause the vehicle to run rough,stall ect...most run right around 60psi you can test your system by hooking a test gauge up to your service port.

I am not sure but you might want to check the pressure of the fuel pump.

SOURCE: put distributor cap on blazer fire came out of engine

If when you changed the distributor cap you misplaced the wires in the incorrect order you could have caused a misfire. When looking at the cap the correct firing order for a 4.3 liter is 165432 going clockwise. Also if you loosened the distributor hold down bolt and turned the distributor even slightly you could cause a misfire.

I know this is an old post, but I am aware that a lot of people have similar problems.
I am having a misfire problem myself. I found that my head gasket had been leaking and the engine coolant had corroded my valve seats.
If you have this problem the two best things for you to start with is a compression test on the cylinders and a fuel pressure test. This is assuming you have had a tune up.

SOURCE: Removed & replaced dist. cap and rotor on 1993 S10 Blazer 4.3 V-6

The firing order for a Chevy s10 depends on which engine you have. 1.9L engine the firing order is: 1-3-4-2 . Distributor rotates counterclockwise. 2.0L engine the firing order is: 1-3-4-2 . Distributor rotates clockwise. 2.5L engine the firing order is: 1-3-4-2 . Distributor rotates clockwise. 2.8L engine the firing order is: 1-2-3-4-5-6 . Distributor rotates clockwise. 4.3L engine the firing order is: 1-6-5-4-3-2 . Distributor rotates clockwise.

Will not start

Did you put an entire new distributor on the vehicle or just a cap and rotor? It sounds to me like your ignition is out of time. Make sure all of the plug wires are where they are supposed to be on the cap AND connected to the correct spark plug.

Changed O2 sensors and white smoke starts pouring out of exhaust

White smoke is usually steam which would indicate a blown head gasket or crack in block. Hope it's something easier.

Backfires and stumbles when gas pedal is floored

There are a lot of diffferent things possible, the backfiring is usually caused by a timing issue. Which could also cause some of your loss of power, but not always. Try checking your fuel pressure to see if there is a clog, also your timing is computer controlled so this means your timing chain is worn spark plugs and wires could be bad or you have a cracked distributor cap rotor bug bad, or even a bad distributor or even as simple as wrong ground placement for motor. Best choice is to start small and then work your way up. Also if disributor has ever been taken out then you will have to reset your oil pump drive because your distributor runs your oil pump with your cam-shaft.

1999 chevy blazer not starting

Check the plug wire from the ignition coil to the distributor cap.
If you haven't already, replace the distributor cap and rotor.
The GM Vortec's have issues with moisture getting inside the cap and rotor and causing problems.

What would make my 1999 Chevy Blazer 4x4 with a 4.3L Vortec engine suddenly start backfiring?

I know there are a lot of solutions here but I would concentrate on a couple of known issues for the 99 4.3l engine. Remove the distributor cap and rotor, check the reluctor wheel under the rotor and make sure it is not loose on the distributor shaft. The other issue is a worn distributor gear, you will notice a lot of freeplay when you try rotating the distributor rotor back and forth.
Last but not least, spray the inside of the distributor cap, the rotor and the inside of the distributor, this will remove and prevent moisture build up causing the backfire issue you are experiencing...
Good luck.

1999 Chevy Blazer backfires inside the engine and blows off a vacuum line on the intake manifold.

in order for the engine to pop back in the intake it has to be firing when an intake valve is open.The best place to start would probably be the distributor cap replacement.the toughest part of this job is the smal torx bit screws on the cap and not breaking the distributor. the screws were threadlocked ,and the distributor is made of plastic.be careful not to over tighten.

5.7L engine idles fine until put into gear then starts cutting out and backfiring as you go down the road or let off the gas

more than likely has a bad distributor assembly..with high mileage they lose there magnetism..remove cap and rotor and check center windings for signs of cracking...cardone makes a good replacement distributor

1998 Catera will not start if it sits overnight in cold weather

It can be worn distributor cap/rotor or coolant temperature sensor.
To check it leave car outside, try to activate if it is not use the hair fan and worm up the distributor cap area
http://www.autozone.com/Ntt,distributor%20cap/shopping/allResults.htm
If it helps replace the distributor cap/wiring/spark plugs. If it doesnot help warm up the coolant temperature sensor:
http://www.autozone.com/shopping/repairGuide.htm?pageId=0900c15280090338
and, if no help, spurk plug area.
Also good idea in cold weather use higher octane fuel or regular with octane booster or injectror cleaner added and ask the mechenic to put winter oil (less viscous) for winter time during oil change.
Good Luck
