Assuming it is tuned up I would pull the EGR valve and clean the carbon deposits or simply replace also check the rubber hose connections for cracks Especialy the ones going to the egr vaccuum.

94 s-10 rich exhaust problem by flytesweep

Hi,
I have a 94 s-10 4.3 vortec 6cyl. engine. The exhaust is very very noxious. When i start the engine it actually isn't too bad. As it warms up the exhaust gets very rich as if there is alot of unburnt fuel. White smoke comes out of the exhaust .
The truck has been sitting awhile and the gas smelt like varnish at first. The tank sensor is not working but i have gone through the bad gas and have burnt about 2 gallons of fresh fuel.
 
How can i resolve this problem.

Well I have read about fuel leakage with the 4.3 CPI system. If you do some googling on the system I think you will get loads of information. I have a 2.2 my self so can't help much.

Since your truck has been sitting for a long time. Hook up a fuel pressure guage and turn the key on, engine off. Look for the pressure bleeding off after the initial prime. If it does, you probably have a leaky fuel injecter. When you first turn your key on, the pressure should go up to about 55 psi to 60 psi and hold there. If you are watching the fuel pressure slowly drop off and bleed down below 55 psi within about the first minut, yup. Leaky injector. Pressure regulators rarely fail on your truck. Good luck!

2000 S10 Noise by hopkins7

2000 S10 4.3, 6 cy, auto, 145K. Running great. Problem is clunking/banging noise in right side of cab/wheel well area. Sounds like solid plastic housing banging against another heavy plastic housing. Glove box tight, new shocks, wheel lugs properly tightened, plastic wheel well housing tight, everything tight under front end. Doesn't sound like metal to metal sound. The banging/noise happens each time right front wheel hits a bump/rough spot in road. Mechanic has driven truck using electronic device to pick up noise in vehicles to no avail. The left side is not affected by the noise. Noise actually sounds like it's coming from under the right side of the dash. Haven't had the dash apart-yet.
 
Any suggestions?

Heater core might be bouncing arround a little. Try wiggling the outlets under the hood on the fire wall side, and see if there is some movement. Also check the blower fan motor, see if the mounting bolts came loose, or if the the plastic fan itself is wobbling on the end of the motor. You got a tuff one, good luck.

84 S-10 2.8 loose vacuum line can't find where to hook to. by jthill24

Hello All:
 
I just picked up an 84 S-10 Pickup with a 2.8 v6, using the XBX vacuum diagram. The problem I’m having is finding where the Vacuum hose from the vacuum ball and Intake manifold plugs into. None of the dealers has any manuals left for those years. The XBX diagram doesn’t show the Vacuum ball or the vacuum line I need to hook up.
All the other lines are in their spots.
 
If I can put a picture up I will to show you what I’m talking about.
  
If any of you have one like mine maybe you can look on yours and see where that line hooks to.
 
Thanks,
JaY
