#291 of 374 Re: Rough idle and gas smell from '95 S10 Blazer [webb3] by webb3 Mar 24, 2006 (3:58 am)
Replying to: webb3 (Mar 22, 2006 7:55 am) here is something i forgot to add before the third fuel pump went out.when i started loosing power going uphill or it would stall trying to pass another car i could turn the ignition switch off and on real quick with my foot on the gas pedal and it would pick back up speed for awhile.i had to do this all the way back from charlottesville virgina to hickory n.c. thats almost 300 miles but i got the thing home.but today is the day i say bye bye blazer.until america can make a car that holds up like the foreign cars the american car market will always be hurting and laying off cause people can only take so much of a bad thing.thats just my opinion and we no what there like.after reading eveything in these forums about the s-10 blazer i will never ever on a chevy again.people out there have blazers that have never gavw them any trouble at all.but not me.this has left a bad taste in my mouth that i will remember every time i see a blazer no matter how nice they look.good luck to all that have one with the same symptoms as mine!
#292 of 374 2000 s-10 Evap problem by onipar Apr 07, 2006 (7:50 pm)
My service engine soon light went on and I noticed a slight gas smell when I first exited the truck (which goes away quickly).   Basically narrowed it down to an Evap problem. A mechanic told me not to worry about it and not to bother getting it fixed because it costs a lot and isn't something that will cause further problems.   Of course I don't quite trust this information and wanted some other opinions.   Will this cause future trouble? Does the cost to fix outweigh the benefits of having it working properly? Any opinons would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

#296 of 374 93 Sonoma-Digital Dash by twellman Jun 19, 2006 (7:43 pm)
I just picked up a 93 sonoma w/4.3 V6. The digital dash doesn't seem to work. The warning lights work, but the tach, speedo, oil pressure, gas gage don't. Checked fuses, they're OK. Where to look?
#297 of 374 2001 S10 error codes by kydansr Jun 27, 2006 (8:31 am)
I recently bought the 2001 S10 with 106K miles. the service engine light is now on and the two error codes show secondary air injection system failure and manufacturer controlled transmission failure are either one of these items something i can fix myself since I enjoy doing my own repairs when possible?
#298 of 374 Sonoma Check Engine Light....Help! by cnylizzy Oct 13, 2006 (10:09 am)
My inspection is past due and the only reason I can think of that it wouldn't pass is my check engine light is on. It's always on! I got a letter from GMC saying that I "may experience illumination of the (check engine light)...this may be due to pieces of the inner liner of the front exhaust pipe breaking up and tumbling into the catalytic converter..." I already tried disconnecting the battery for a few minutes to reset it all and that damn light was the first thing that was on when I started it back up and it stayed on. It was extremely frustrating because it was the second inspection appointment I've had to cancel. Do I really need to invest $200 in a new catalytic converter just to get my check engine light to shut off so I can pass inspection?!?

Replying to: cnylizzy (Oct 13, 2006 10:09 am) Dear Frustrated,   From what you described, are you sure its your cat that is causing the light to stay on? If you don't have a code reader you can take it to most part stores and they will read it for free. They won't clear it but they can read it and give you a better indication of whats going on. Keep in mind that some times the code isn't exact, its just a starter in that direction.   In order to clear the code you can use the technique you outlined or clear it with a code reader. However, before you can clear the code you first have to remedy the reason the code came up to start with.   Talk about frustration, I had to install a cat on my S-10 to get it to pass inspection. I used aftermarket and made it fit. I made new flanges and brackets and it all looked purdy when I was done. I was happy and patted myself on the back. One of the new brackets I made I mounted it to the bottom of the cab (bad move). It set up a vibration of which I miss-diagnosed as a bad transmission. After I dropped the tranny, had it overhauled, and re installed I discovered that wasn't my problem, it was the bracket mounted to the bottom of the cab.   That wasn't the dumbest thing I have ever done but I won't forget it for awhile. Sometimes you just got to have a since of humor.   Good luck Replies to this message: cnylizzy (Oct 13, 2006 8:37 pm)
