#151 of 168 Blown Engine by kevinoh May 26, 2009 (4:35 am)
I have a '00 S10, my service engine soon light came on, I got it diagnosed as an oxygen sensor, within a week the whole engine blew.... Does anyone know the book time for replacing the engine?

Replying to: mags468 (May 19, 2009 7:35 am) this is a follow up to my original question, that no one had any answer to. The problem was the wires going into the junction box just under the ignition switch.
#153 of 168 93 Sonoma Water Leak by doc15 Jun 06, 2009 (11:07 am)
Had a problem with a keak on my 4.3 Vortec and replaced the water pump, but now seem to have a fairly heavy leak that looks like it could be coming from the head gasket on the drivers side. This is a truck I don't want to spend a ton of money on so I was going to do the work myself. Is this considered a relatively easy fix or is it best left to professionals. I don't really want to do anything to the engine except repair the leak. Thanks DOC

Had a thought about if my diagnosis could be wrong and the leak is coming from somewhere else. If the head gasket was leaking, would'nt the engine run like crap? The leak is showing up on the top front left part of my 4.3 Vortec Z engine.Like right next to the Thermostat housing.Is it possible the Lower intake Manifold could be leaking. the engine runs fine other than the leak.

Replying to: doc15 (Jun 07, 2009 5:22 am) We have a 2000 S-10 with the same engine. As I recall, our leak was between the head gasket and the block. My husband says it is a fairly common problem with these engines. We took ours in to be fixed and it was several hundred dollars.

#158 of 168 98 GMC SONOMA-DIES AT TAKE OFF by dstclair Jun 20, 2009 (12:59 pm)
I have a 98 sonoma ( 4 cyl.) that runs great and strong going down the road but when I stop and start to take off it bogs down and dies, It will start back up in 5 to 10 mins. and will run good for several days and then it will die again . I have been told that it is the 3rd cycl. I have replaced both coils, the plate that the coils bolt to tested and tested good. Replaced the fuel filter, plug wires, and plugs. Any clue what this may be? Replies to this message: lowbro2005 (Aug 02, 2009 8:47 am)

Replying to: detritotroph (May 22, 2008 4:35 pm) Did you ever find the problem?? I have a similar problem with a 2003 Sonoma Zr2. After reading some of the responses it might be a worn wire in the steering column from the ignition switch.
