Few days ago my wile driving my 1995 S10 2.2 I felt a little hesitation like it was time to change the spark plugs. Another day wile driving the ENGINE light turn on and few minutes later the car just stop working without any hesitation just stop and id not want it to start at all. I check the fuel filter and visually check the gas pump flow and there is plenty of gas moving trough that area. Also check the sparks and they are all good. What else can it be? Ah! My mechanic came to see it and told me that the compression was very low and that is why the car will not start. I have trouble with this because the car was moving so well before the problem Please help / thanks |

I have a 1988 S-10 with a 2.8L V-6 Carb body fuel injection. The vehicle starts every time and will run from a few seconds to sometimes up to 15-20 minutes. Then it just dies like you turned the key off. I have replaced the fuel pump, filters, fuel pump relay, done a check of all vacumn lines, checked all electrical connections to the distributor, coil carb etc., to ensure they are properly seated. Now I am at a loss, not sure where to look next. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Steve J.

My Chevy 1997 S10, 38,000 miles just died. My mechanic said that he charged the battery and put in a new alternator and got it to run just to move it into his garage then it dies again. It is so dead, that none of the lights work, nothing. He thinks it might be an electrical short, but cannot trace it without an electrical diagram/schematic of the starting system. Where can I get a free download of this diagram/schematic? He is stumped and I have no truck?

Replying to: s100614 (Mar 15, 2006 4:44 am) Yesterday, I tore it down and my suspicion was correct. The broken chain sat at the bottom of the timing cover. I replaced the set as well as the tensioner. I started it up and it ran except it ran terribly. It's like the engine timing is severely retarded. I am suspecting that I am out of time by 180 degrees. My chiltons book did not tell me how to go about replacing a "broken" chain. It only has instructions on how to "replace" a chain which would mean the timing marks would be correct once you got the timing cover off and looked at it. I can't find any information on how to re-establish timing for this engine. It is distributor-less so I am stumped. If you are attempting to replace the timing gear/chain set, let me know and I'll send you some tips on what I've learned during the tear down of the front side of this motor. vi-kan |

Replying to: hoodlatch (Jul 14, 2006 5:45 am) I just got the head back from the machine shop with a full valve job. They replaced 4 bent valves on cylinders 3 and 4. I have never done a timing chain or belt on a distributorless engine. It's weird not being able to see which cylinder my distributor is supposedly firing on. Any tips on this? thanks, vi-kan
