My truck recently started running like all cylinders weren't firing. This happened before and salvage yard said it was a vacuum hose that was cracked. Any idea what name might be of this hose?

I would rule out the Map sensor & I'm assuming you checked the common ignition switch and cap/rotor issues with this vehicle. If your ICU is not throwing up a code then I would strongly look at the ignition system. Specifically your ignitor could be on the way out. It can overheat and stop premutely with this age/mileage. Once it cools down it works again but it's close to death. The only other thing is the oxygen sensor which is also close to dying which is typical at 120K+ miles. When the O2 sensor gets 'slow' it's still within the computer's acceptable range so doesn't throw a code until it dies completely, but it's bad enough to choke the engine temporarily. Does it happen when the engine is warming up in the first 5 mins? You can rule this out by disconnecting the O2 sensor temporarily and seeing if the engine dies again with same scenario (it might run slightly rough but it shouldn't stall with 02 open circuit). Ideally you can hook the 02 sensor output to an oscilloscope and check it's swinging cleaning and fast between 0.2-0.8 volts if you or a shop has the equipment. The fuel pump and/or filter is the only other outside thing I can thing of.

Vac lines all run off the PCV tap on the intake so follow them over to the drivers side and repair all rotted ones - 5/32" are smaller ones. Now if you smell gas then perhaps its the classic CPI and nut kit (fuel lines under the intake) that are leaking. Search that and see the post answers.

In regard to the power seat issue, where is the fuse or relay located that you replaced?
I've been trying to figure out why the power seat on my 96 jimmy isn't working & I haven't been able to locate any fuse or relay for it.

The older models have 2 temp sensors and the one for the PCM input for cold start is by the EGR valve so that could be it.

2000 GMC Jimmy won't start by jimmy6

My 2000 GMC Jimmy 4WD automatic will not start on occasion. Car has 96,000 miles. Battery is new. When I try to start engine, all electrical seems to work fine - just no cranking (not even sluggish cranking). NOTE: this problem occurs intermittently! First time it happened last year, I called for a tow but by the time he arrived, the car started just fine (Tow guy checked battery/electrical anyway and said all was fine). No problems for about the next 3,000 miles, then the problem resurfaced yesterday. This time, I moved the shift lever to NEUTRAL and the car started fine. Same problem a few hours later - so I jiggled the shift lever in park and it started right away. So, I'm guessing this is NOT a PASSLOCK problem but rather something to do w/ a safety sensor relating to the shifter. Is there such a device and, if so , how can I verify this - rather than PASSLOCK - is really my problem and is there a sensor/part which I can replace?thank you. Jimmy6

Transmission has an adjustment on the drivers side and must be in park or N to start so get it done at the shop in about 5 minutes.
