#329 of 460 Re: Figured out the problem! Somewhat?!?! [coachhill] by tigers02 Sep 10, 2008 (1:17 pm)
Replying to: coachhill (Sep 16, 2007 8:48 am) My problem sounds exactly like yours...left the tailgate open the other night in the rain and now the pushbutton, power locks, and rear hatch actuator operate intermittently. I dissassembled everything but couldn't figure out how to remove the pushbutton/lock assembly for cleaning. This post was a year old but do you remember how to remove the lock.
#330 of 460 Re: replacing multifunction switch [Mr_Shiftright] by bear19 Sep 13, 2008 (1:43 pm)
Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Aug 25, 2008 5:42 pm) We found out that our problem was the flasher for the 4-ways and the flasher for the turn signals. Luckily the parts store would take back the multi-purpose switch that I bought.I found out that the multi-purpose switch can be removed and replaced without pulling the steering column. A #25 torx bit might have to be modified to get one screw out, but if you take your time, it can be done. A #5 internal torx soccet is also needed. Thank you for your help, and I hope this will help someone. (The switch alone cost about $200.00!)

#332 of 460 97 GMC Jimmy has a bad miss by tommyj2 Oct 08, 2008 (7:16 pm)
97 GMC Jimmy with a V6 Vortec, motor was bought from Advance and has around 40000 miles. I didn't put the motor in, it was already installed when I bought it. Hope someone can help me with this miss problem, I will try to explain it the best that I can. First off, new plugs, new plug wires, new coil pack, fuel filter and air filter. Catalytic converter has been removed. No Check engine light is on. The vehicle starts perfect and idles perfect, but when you go up a hill it sometimes has a bad hesitation like you are letting off the fuel back and forth, give it more gas and it quits. Then sometimes on flat ground at 55 mph it does the same thing. Sometimes I can pull into a parking lot at 3 mph or at an idle and the motor has a violent stutter to it. That has only happened twice. So can anyone enlighten me on this subject?? Replies to this message: mwolf9000 (Oct 09, 2008 5:18 am) ealvarez (Oct 18, 2008 11:40 am) judastouch (Oct 09, 2008 6:14 am)

Replying to: tommyj2 (Oct 08, 2008 7:16 pm) Have you checked the fuel pressure from the fuel pump? Replies to this message: ealvarez (Oct 18, 2008 11:40 am)

Replying to: tommyj2 (Oct 08, 2008 7:16 pm) How's the inside of the distributor cap look? GMC issued a recall/repair on the distributors--the bottoms of the units themselves have little apertures covered with metal screens. (If memory serves, the apertures were to provide ventilation and the screens to keep road debris from getting into the distributor.) The screens trap moisture, which causes the inside of the cap to corrode, and causes misfiring similar to what you're describing.   If the inside of the cap is corroded, pull the distributor and yank out those screens.   Previous poster's question about fuel pressure is also a good one--check your fuel pressure.

Replying to: mwolf9000 (Oct 09, 2008 5:18 am) I had a similar problem with my 98 GMC Jimmy and after a while stop running all together it turned out to be the fuel pump inside the tank. Pump is about $280, Good luck
#336 of 460 Transmission Problem? by ealvarez Oct 18, 2008 (11:43 am)
