#365 of 370 S10-won't run on its own by me1237 Mar 22, 2009 (6:41 am)
I have a1996 chevy s-10 4 cylinder pickup. I went to start it the other day and it started right up but to keep it running you have to keep your foot on gas. The minute you let up it dies. It won't idle in neutral. I was hoping someone might have a clue as to what the problem is or where I should start looking. Thank you.

Replying to: jae5 (Feb 26, 2009 5:12 am) I had a 2000 S10 extended cab with the 4.3 V6 that had the oil cooler lines replaced. I had a GM dealer do the work. It cost about $300 parts and labor. It's the kind of job that you don't want to put off becuase if the line breaks then you'll lose your engine oil. Good luck.

It could be that one of your wheel hubs have bad bearings and need to be replaced for the axle to mesh with the hub. Replies to this message: halser (May 27, 2009 10:29 am)

Replying to: littlebazz (Apr 27, 2009 12:29 pm) I have a 95 Chevy S10 ext cab pu. The engine is the 4 cyl with a 5 speed stick. The rubber washer from one of the bolts that holds the cab to the frame fell off. Do you access the bolt from inside the cab? Is it hard to replace the washer?

So a couple months ago I went to use the 3rd door on my truck and pulled the handle and SNAP! went something inside. Groan I thought. This is the 4th time this thing had broken, although the last time was several years ago. A quick history: The first time the handle snapped off because it was manufactured using only a small piece of plastic to pop the two latches at the top and bottom of the door. The piece of plastic wasn't up to the stress of doing that and eventually gave out. I replaced the handle because at the time I didn't know any better. If you have owned a 3rd door Ex-cab S-10/Sonoma and haven't had this issue, count yourself lucky. Otherwise you probably know exactly what I am talking about.   Well a couple months later, the same exact thing happened. I ordered a new handle and then started doing research to find out what the deal was and this was when I found out that I was't the only one with this problem and someone had designed a simple fix for the problem. They had manufactured a handle out of aluminum that would never fail. And the kicker?? It was cheaper than a new handle from the GM parts dept or anywhere else! So cheap in fact that I ordered one right then and there even though I already had a brand new entire handle mechanism on the way.   The new OEM handle arrived and I just set it aside and waited for the "new" handle to come in. It was just the handle part and not the entire mechanism since only the handle part was poorly engineered in the first place. I replaced just the one part and things have been fine since I did that several years ago.   Fast forward to a couple months ago. I went to use the handle and SNAP! Well the door handle it self didn't appear to be broken but something had snapped. For a while I had noticed the door being kind of hard to open and took a bit of force so I figured that force got to something inside the door. I put off taking a look at it because I didn't really want to mess with it. Today though, I decided to take it apart and see what went wrong. Turns out a piece of the handle mechanism had broken off. (the plastic piece inside the spring on the latch mechanism) As I looked at it, I remembered suddenly that I had a brand new handle mechanism sitting somewhere that I had never used! I ran to find it and luckily I found it. That part itself is amazing considering I ordered that handle probably 4 or 5 years ago and it went through a couple of moves. I'm amazed I was able to find it with out hardly looking for it. I spent more time looking for my ratchet to remove the seat belt. Five minutes later, I had transfered out the plastic handle with my aluminum handle and put the whole thing back together and my door works!
