2000 Chevy Blazer won't start

I started the car to warm. It remained started for 20 minutes. When I put the car in reverse it shut off. I tried to restart, it cranked but would not turn over. I let it set all day but still wont start.

    I had a similar thing happen to me not too long ago.

    My 2000 Chevy Blazer was in park, and when I tried to turn the key, the stupid thing wouldn't turn over. Had it towed to the local garage and they looked at it. Of course, they had no problem getting it to turn over at all. (Transmission having been shifted to neutral while towing.) I'm no mechanic, so my mechanical techobabble is a bit off, but it had something to do with the electronic shifter not making a solid contact. (Ever notice you can sometimes tap the shifter and the dashboard registers as shifting gears?)

    They suggested the next time it happens, to throw the thing into Neutral (not tap the shifter) and then try to turn the key. If it doesn't start, then throw it back into Park and try again.

    I'm not sure if this qualifies to be a solution, that's why it is marked as "I have the same problem". The problem hadn't re-occurred, so it should realistically be labeled "I had the same problem."

    Let me know if this works for you.

Sounds like a likely possibility, the reverse method definetly did the trick in loosening the brake, but it may still be slightly applied, put it in a warm place when you can, or have a shop look at it indoors, it may need to be re-adjusted, or even just warmed up until the cable frees up again

2000 s10 Blazer dies very 3-6 weeks for no reason

i would check your ignition system. you would need a meter for this but look for broke or loose connections. if it was a fuel problem i dont think it would just start up after 20 minutes. or you might try your ignition switch. if its shorting or something then ya well it would cut your engine off real quick
