Need a body code scanner to look at and they are the $200 plus range but the dealer is the best for this as they have seen them. Usually its in the column either the hall effect sensor on the tumbler or the wiring and connector (called the ignition switch - don't ask why) so a pain to fix either way. Good luck because at some point it may fail completely and not restart - have to fix it soon. Was the dash pulled for a heater core recently cause that may be the reason as the connector was not firmly reseated.

Thanks I do that yes there seems to be an AC leak under the dash and the technician tried to find it, so I think that’s what causes the problem I'll just take it to the dealer as you said thanks again.

Sounds just like my 1998 Jimmy 4dr. How well does your rear wiper work ? mine hasn't worked for years , Power mirrors are nice but in true GMC fashion , they quit working a long time ago !! The fi rst and only time I tried to recline my seats the levers broke off , now i just use a screw driver . what kind of crap is GM trying to sell ??

now it works with a loud screechy noise, my power mirrors don't works any more, my seats don't recline anymore cause the levers are all broken, there's a loud cracking sound at the front end when I turn the steering fully to left or right, GM really sucks.

Can a 1995 chevy blazer be chipped or does it have to be tuned with a tuner?

Good question and not sure but the Jet catalog should tell you - if its ODB II then Jet has the add on module. Those juts fool the temp so run richer thus more HP but would have to say mpg drop. The turners are like $300 plus and can override the top speed limiter (why cause at 93 the things will be shaking), reset tire size/odometer, and shift points. For a stock vehicle spend your money on quality ignition parts and filters!

My 2000 GMC Jimmy does the same thing (intermittently does not start). I believe it is the motor senor that is located on the front of the crank where the harmonic balancer is. I am going to get it fixed at a dealer. When I do, I will report the result and cost.

Most likely the AC clutch is jam so when you turn on the AC it jam the AC pulley which cause the serpentine belt to burn trying to turn the AC pulley it happen to me before, if you let the AC stays on it will cause the belt blaze (fire) I would advice you to change the AC compressor  .

I also have a 98'GMC Jimmy & have started having these same issues. They started up about 6 mths. ago. I have tried verious things with no luck. The one thing I have been told it might be that I haven't tried yet is the damper actuator, I believe is what it was called. I was reading your post & wondering if you ever resolved your probelms & had any pointers. If so it's much apperciated.
Thanks in advance, James M. of OKC, OK

Need suggestions for 2001 GMCJimmy stalling

I have a 2001 GMC Jimmy. About 4 months ago, I was driving with my kids to TN and it started stalling on me in the middle of intersections or whenever I needed to slow down. Actually it died most of the time in those situations. Scared me half to death. I put it in the shop and they replaced the fuel filter. Just yesterday it started doing it again. I really need advice. My husband will probably not be able to do the work himself (unless it's really easy) but I'd like to know what's going on so I don't get cheated. Or if someone can give really good instructions, we might try to fix it ourselves. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
