I recently bought a '96 Jimmy for my son. We have been looking at fuel economy and I thought we should look at the spark plugs to see what kind of shape they are in. This is a 4 x 4 with 87600 miles on it. I am embarrassed to say I could not trace down the spark plugs. I need someone to tell me where they are located at on the engine. Also the best way of pulling each of them. It is the 4.3L, V6. Thank you |

Replying to: jlflemmons (Aug 19, 2008 8:56 pm) I am looking on how to improve the gas mileage and performance. Are there other things we can do ourselves to the engine? Any additives that actually work out there as well?

Replying to: friend2 (Aug 20, 2008 4:35 pm) Use a premimum NAPA distributor cap with brass electrodes. The AC Delco distributor cap is equipped with aluminum electrodes which will oxidize and fill the cap with alumium oxide dust which will cause spark scatter, especially with the factory high voltage electronic ignition systems. |

Hi, I have a 1995 GMC Jimmy. I have replaced the water pump and thermostat due to a percieved overheating problem. I have a snapon mt2500 that I hooked up to the computer. The temperature is running from 185 degrees to about 195 on the scan took. No over heating. It is cooling just as it should. The gauge reads about 250 degrees. Is this a common problem? How can I fix this problem. temp sending unit? or different gauge cluster? Any ideas? Thanks -Ben

Last week while driving my 97 Blazer i noticed the volt gauge dip down to about 12 and the running lights went out. It immediately went back up to 14 but the lights never came back on. When i restart it the lights come back on again. I had the alternator replaced even tho it tested fine. The battery also tested fine. It continued to happen about 3 times on my 20 mile drive to work every day for the last week. This morning i started it and was backing down the driveway and it died. It restarted and i got it back up the drive. It died again. Now when i try to start it i dont hear the fuel pump. Are these problems related?
