Most of them seem to be in the Chevy Blazer/GMC Jimmy: Problems & Solutions discussion. Try using the Search This Discussion tool for "ignition" to break them out.

95 GMC Jimmy Auto Transmission Problems by gmcrich

I have a Jimmy W/140K miles and it started acting like it was slipping/jerking ONLY when I was in reverse and heavy on the throttle. I changed the filter and made things worse. Now it only seems to have 2nd gear (40mph)and still jerks when I am in reverse. Prior to changing the filter I didn't have any issues with forward gears. I had a hard time squeezing the pan in and out of the exhaust. Could I have damaged or unhooked something by rubbing the pan across it? If I can regain my forward gears I could get by for awhile. Any ideas on what could cause these problems? Any help?

You probably hit the wiing running thru beneath the valve body and may have nicked it or disconnected a solenoid.

Is there a way of checking this through the computer codes? Does Autozone or Advanced Auto have a diagnostic machine for transmissions? How many solenoids are there and what do they look like? I just need to regain all of my forward gears and hope reverse lasts for awhile.
Thanks,

Auto stores don't scan transmissions. Each gear shift has a solenoid. Most trans shops will hook up their scanner and give an estimate for free or low cost to get the business.

There is a major problem in the electronic controlled transmissions in the blazer. A simple way to get results is to pull the positive battery cable for 5 mins and then reattach it. That seems to reset the computer and fix the problem, but usually for only about 6 months.

My grandfather had the same problem with his. Try cutting and old milk carton and puttting it over the distributor to keep moisture out. That seemed to work for him.

i have a 97 gmc blazer which has had the selenoids replaced once. it fixed the problem for about 6 months then the key started sticking in the ignition, problem comes back plus the battery keeps draining. i can start it cold and it will go for about 100 yds then the radiator gets hot and it shuts of however my electrical keeps working and the check engine light comes on, diagnostics said selenoid problem but i cant help but believe the faulty ignition switch has a big part to play any suggestions?
