Motor blew at 205,000 miles. replaced the motor and hooked everything up and went to turn it over nothing new starter was put in a week prior so i know that works. any suggestions.

Check to see if you get voltage at the starter solenoid with the key turned to the start position as the first step. Also make sure the battery has a good charge.

battery is new and the suburban is a 1999 tryed to start it a few times but it did come to as stop when the engine let go water went into the intake and through the fair filter and when we camr to a stop at that time it didnt turn over either.

Welcome to the forum.

Depending on how much water entered the intake, you may have hydrolocked the engine.

new motor long block,question have run it 1000 miles but it seems to foul one spark plug. i have changed it out and it will do fine for a while. every plug i pull out of that one port looks like it has a bunch of crud built up on the spark plug. any answers?? and if you let it set and idle for a while get in it and take off a pufff of blue smoke comes out. but nothing if you rev it or going down the hiway.

sounds like oil getting past the rings in that cylinder.

Or a bad/missing valve seal.
