#280 of 374 1989 s10 blazier by kkjester Feb 14, 2006 (6:44 am)
Yeah i have a 1989 blazier, s10 model, 4x4, its got over 220k miles on it, i was driving home after my friend put the fuel filter on wrong and now its leaking, well thats just the start of it, the gas peddle made a loud like pop as my foot was on it, and when i tryed to crack it agian, it wont stay cracked, it shot like fire and threw the air filter from above the fuel injectors to the hood, and.. oil just vanshies, doens't leak, no burns out of the exhaust, just goes some where, so.. i just paid 300 bucks for a new engine but its a 1988 s10 model, my question is.. can it go into that body, and work without to many changes, going to use parts from both trucks to get the newer one working   please email me at onlyjesteraol.com with any help you can provide, thanks
#281 of 374 93 blazer cold start question by 90suprat Feb 17, 2006 (7:23 pm)
Hi, I have a 93 s10 4x4 blazer with 44k miles, and it doesnt go to high idle when first started on cold days, it just idles like it has been warmed up. It will also smoke a little, but mostly when it's a little warmer outside, it also takes longer to start the warmer it is, any ideas?
#282 of 374 fun with the distributor by brettj Feb 23, 2006 (9:13 pm)
my brother was doing a tune up for me and he had to stop for other reasons, I went to put the new spark plug wires on and noticed that he took the wires off at the distributor with no order attached, its an s-10 95, with the vortech v6, is there some way to get the order of the plugs to the distributor? I have a hanes manual, but cannot locate any firing order for the distributor. thanx,brettj. Replies to this message: res88qe1 (Feb 23, 2006 11:41 pm) brettj (Feb 27, 2006 7:55 pm)

Replying to: res88qe1 (Feb 23, 2006 11:41 pm) hey! just a note, I did figure out the fire order and it started!!!!! Yea!!!!!, but now a new problem I have to check Out, I have a steady stream of oil dripping on the snow, which of course, wasn't there before. Smells plastic like, with oil. As you look at the engine, its on the left underside about halfway back on block, hope the block didn't crack!       My dad worked for G.M. at the orion plant in MI. retired and moved up here in 90. He has passed on since, but he tried to get me in there to work, but instead I went into the Marine Corps, spent 12 years, fun.    Anyway sir, thank you for everything and hopefully this truck will run for me now. Ill talk to you later, Respectfully, Brett
#286 of 374 Tune Up by adamsand Mar 17, 2006 (9:39 pm)
I have a 2001 S-10 with 130,000 miles and i have changed the plugs and wires, but i heard that there are other things that i might need to change (distributor cap ect.) Anyone know what else might be a good idea to change. Replies to this message: hoodlatch (Mar 18, 2006 5:07 pm)

Replying to: adamsand (Mar 17, 2006 9:39 pm) Even when I don't change the cap and rotor I pop the cap and clean the metal electrodes with my pocket knife and inspect for corrosion. On more than one occasion I have had the center carbon electrode to have been broken. Sometimes the cap won't be that old. Sounds like it's starting to get a little age on things like the belt and hoses. They may be in good shape but then again they may be about to have an annerisim. I recommend you take your time and give everything a good visual.   Enjoy

its not the spider injectors either.when it goes bad you will really no it because all the gas goes into the intake plenum and floods the cylinders and fouls the plugs.then you have to take all the the plugs out and a bunch of other crap that i have done twice.not the fuel filter either.changed it three times in a year and half.put on new fuel pump and it ran great for almost 3 months and started all over again.luckily the pump has lifetime warranty but labor doesnt.local mech done it for 85 bucks this time and it runs great again.i am getting rid of this headache this week cause i cant stand the damn thing.
