My 1996 chevy blazer shuts down while driving.Right before it shuts down all of the lights on the dashboard start to flash on and off. After it shuts down the car will start up again.

Welcome to the forum. Make sure the battery has a full charge, and the connections are good. Have the charging system checked. If you don't want to do testing yourself, some of the national brand autostores will check battery and alternator.

How long since a tune-up? Can you check for codes? At the least, you need an obd11 code reader. Use a gage and check fuel pressure, some of the national brand autostores used to loan out a fuel pressure gage. You can call and ask.

If you have the spider fuel system, the system may need cleaning? The best cleaning procedure is a shop procedure.
