| My blazer starts and stalls alot when the dash lights come on before starting it starts up just fine now the lights don't come on just the radio and dome light ot turns over but never cranks up just replaced the battery it started for about an hour then the dash lights went out and nothing. I need some help!!! | |
My 2001 GMC Jimmy SLE has cruise control and I thought there was a light on the instrument panel that lit up when cruise control was on. There is one on my 2004 Sierra. But, either the light is burned out, or there isn't one. I can't find it in the owner's manual. Does anyone know if there is supposed to be a light?

Hi, I've got a 1998 GMC Jimmy with 260000 miles. Car has been nonstop. Minor repairs. Been using Amzoil for a couple of years. Wife went to start and it suddenlly stopped with quite a jar. After that it would crank but backfire through intake. I set #1 at TDC and distributor was facing #4 Pulled distributor and gear is in tack. I have pulled the timing chain cover and all is well there. Marks line up on crank gear and cam gear. So I'm pulling motor. But was hopefull someone might have experienced this. Could cam gear have slipped or is it machined to cam? Can distributor have enough lateral travel that cam and distributor shaft would disengage? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Buzz |

Replying to: buzzh (Nov 18, 2008 6:17 pm) Don't pull the engine... I had a similar experience with a Chevy V8... Just as the engine started to crank... it stopped with quite a jar... just like you described. Any further attempts to start at that time... and the engine acted like it was locked up. I let it sit for a couple of hours... then it started... but had a lifter noise in #8. I noticed that the plug wire had come loose... but was still on the plug. The engine eventually started again... but took half a tank of gas before the lifter quieted down. I have been using Amsoil since 1978... I use it in my 96 Blazer... and my 81 Grand Prix. Suggestions: Pull all the plugs... see if the engine will crank... if so... see if any fuel comes out of any of the cylinders... particularly 5 or 6. If so... the most likely cause is a leaking fuel regulator inside the plentum. Let me know what happens... TJ

I'll pull the accessory brackets and pull plugs, it needs a tune up something bad. l just want it last till next summer when we'll buy something newer. Thanks for the advice and I'll post what I find, sometime this week. Buzz
