Turn over but won't start...

Chevrolet Blazer 2001 Chevy blazer, 2wd, 4.3 180000 miles
So every day when I first start to crank my blazer, (2001 Chevy blazer 2wd, 2door, 4.3) the motor will turn and turn but not start. If I spray starting fluid through breather and try to start it will crank and run until I cut it off. If it sits for a couple hours it will do the same thing, wont start til I use starting fluid. Rarely sometimes it will crank the second time without fluid. I've changed crank sensor, new battery, cap and rotor, it has ngk iridium plugs, new wires, checked fuel pressure which is at 62, new fuel filter, pump does engage when key is turned. I have fuel, spark, compression. I'm out of ideas. Please help

Did you check the fuel pressure while it was running, or while it was cranking trying to start? Some pumps when they're going bad will not supply enough pressure to start while cranking, but will while they are running

It sounds like the Mass Airflow Sensor is bad.

I have a new fuel pump and spark plugs and wires but he still won't start. Makes a winning sound when trying to start. When he tryes to start it back fires

I believe timing is way off after all the parts you have replaced. You definitely need to get it on TDC for #1 sparkplug and then make sure the rotor is pointing at the #1 plug wire in the cap. Something similar happened to a Blazer I had just from pulling the distributor rotor out and putting it back in. It turns out that because of the way the gears are cut. When it slides out it turns just a little ahead. When I put it back in I had to start a little before #1 position. Then when it was all the way down it lined up perfectly.

Stalling issues

Chevrolet Blazer 1993 K blazer 275365 miles
I have 1993 K Blazer that seems to stall when its hot and humid out... I have put new motor that now has about 60,000 miles on it... I have replaced map,sensor,egr,distributor,plugs,wires,coil,vacuum lines,fuel pump, fuel tank because it had a hole, vents in tank, fuel filter and many other parts and noone can still seem to figure out why i have intermittent stalls... It could be on interstate, at red light, stop sign it just will stall and start back up... It always seems to do it when it is hot and humid or just started because i didnt have this problem over winter or spring... Can someone please help me

But i have never heard this sound before and ive been under the hood for last couple years banging on the fuse box when it wouldnt start. To the current problem...
