#300 of 374 Re: Sonoma Check Engine Light....Help! [hoodlatch] by cnylizzy Oct 13, 2006 (8:37 pm)
Replying to: hoodlatch (Oct 13, 2006 12:11 pm) Thanks for the feedback. I will definitely get it scanned to see what it says. I guess I just kind of assumed since I had that letter that the catalytic converter was the problem. Silly me! I think the last time I had it scanned two years ago it said something about a hose - so it might just be a cracked hose and a matter of figuring out which one. Should be a nice Sunday treasure hunt! Thanks again

Replying to: newfiebuddy (Sep 18, 2005 2:53 pm) I replaced mine when the speedo quit working and it gave me code 24 (VSS). It still didn't work afterwards due to the wires from the sensor that go over the top of the tranny being burnt. I had to feel mine by hand, replace them, then it was fine. Good luck Replies to this message: countryboy3 (Oct 18, 2006 7:34 am)

Replying to: borob1 (May 12, 2006 6:12 am) I need to replace converter but it is welded on. Can I cut the old one off and use clamps to put the new on. Where do you purchase clamps? Replies to this message: hoodlatch (Oct 22, 2006 3:29 pm)

Replying to: robmendrop (Oct 21, 2006 9:26 pm) You can find clamps just about anywhere, they're common. At first I replaced mine as you described. Later when I needed to drop the exhaust system I cut just aft of the converter. Then going back I welded new flanges in as to make it easier the next time I need to remove something. Some aftermarket cat converters have a slip joint on one end and a flange on the other.
#305 of 374 vents!!! climate control by dkurrle Oct 22, 2006 (8:39 pm)
2003 ZR2. Has anybody else experienced air flowing through your vents, similar to if the fan was on low, when you have the knob on OFF. ??? any suggestions? Replies to this message: superman1975 (Oct 23, 2006 7:37 pm)

Replying to: dkurrle (Oct 22, 2006 8:39 pm) Check to see if you have a vacuum leak anywhere. I had the same problem with my '98 S-10 2.2l last year and found that my vacuum lines under the hood had become brittle and had many holes. Replaced for ~$3.
#307 of 374 Fueling Problem by movelli Oct 24, 2006 (11:38 am)
Can someone help me? I own a 2003 Chevy S10 4X4, 4 door crew cab. I go to fill up my tank the other day and it won't take fuel. The pump automatically clicks off the same it does when the tank is full, but it is not. It was empty and I knew it was because I hadn't filled up in a long time. Then, fuel started pouring back out. It is currently at the mechanic and they said there is a kit that will fix the problem. Well, they bought the kit and it didn't work. They said they are still trying to find the problem and they haven't seen anything like this before. Have any of you heard of this happening or know what the problem may be? Any insight would be very helpful! Thank you!! Replies to this message: canufixit (Nov 20, 2006 9:14 am) canufixit (Nov 21, 2006 6:09 am)

When you think you've seen it all! 1997 S-10 4.3X 5 speed. Been smelling gas when I get out of truck for 6 months or so, snugged nuts on spyder injector, still smelling gas. This week, check engine light came on, ran rough, then Check Engine Light started blinking. Got home, parked it, couldn't restart it. Pulled codes, low coolant temp, vehicle speed sensor. No spark from coil, checked coil, never going to ground when cranking. Reseated connectors to sensors. No help. Upon reseating computer connectors, lower 2 connectors when pulled out, the weather seal bootie expanded and out of shape. Smelled more gas, took computer off mounts, POURED A WHISKEY SHOT GLASS FULL OF GASOLINE FROM THE COMPUTER!!! Separated the case, the o-ring seal expanded like a spring waiting to get out. Computer boards have sealant on them, gas evidently broke it down into goo. Dried it w/air gun, At least it starts now but still Check Engine Light on. I'm guessing computer is shot, but my concern is more HOW DOES GAS GET INTO THE COMPUTER???? Only possible way is via the wiring harness, anyone else find this? I wonder how many unexplained underhood fires were the result of this? PLEASE IF ANYONE HAS ANY IDEA HOW TO STOP THE NEXT COMPUTER FROM FILLING W/FUEL (HOW'S IT GETTING THERE?) LET ME KNOW.   Thank You!!! Replies to this message: spincycle07 (Nov 13, 2006 11:01 am) jlflick (Nov 15, 2006 6:04 pm) canufixit (Nov 20, 2006 9:03 am)

Has anyone replaced the complete door hinge? What kind of job is it? Is it welded or bolted on a 92 S-10 pickup?   Replies to this message: canufixit (Nov 15, 2006 12:09 pm) hoodlatch (Nov 16, 2006 5:14 pm) canufixit (Nov 20, 2006 7:11 am) hoodlatch (May 28, 2007 7:27 pm)
