#1 of 33 s10 lost oil pressure by c2cp Jan 10, 2007 (11:52 pm)
my oil gauge on my 93 s10 moves rapidly up and down at low rpm and when the clutch is engaged at first I thought the problem was in the gauge or sender unit but i noticed when this is happening the engine idles rough.When I first start it up or when I get moving its just fine.would anyone have a solution for this problem?thanks

#3 of 33 rough cold idle by toby3jr Jan 15, 2007 (5:33 pm)
Judt bought my 96 s10 it has 245000 miles. When it starts it idles very rough (had to replace a motor mount) until it warms up then she idles and runs great. I have replaced teh throttle position sensor already. Any ideas?? Replies to this message: hoodlatch (Jan 15, 2007 6:11 pm) toby3jr (Jan 16, 2007 5:21 pm)

Replying to: toby3jr (Jan 15, 2007 5:33 pm) What kind of engine? When is the last time you tuned it up? 245K miles on the same engine is pretty good. My experience with a bad throttle position sensor has been regardless of temp when idling the engine speeds up, slows down, speeds up, slows down. Does the check engine light come on? Have you had the codes read? Good luck. Replies to this message: toby3jr (Jan 16, 2007 5:21 pm)

Replying to: hoodlatch (Jan 15, 2007 6:11 pm) Its the 4 cylinder and I put new wires and plugs in last week. Check Engine light has come on but the code reader at the local advance auto parts read and cleared the code but would not download the info to the computer to print out the problem. So I wait for the SES light to go on again

#7 of 33 S10 Random Problems... by chevyatw Dec 09, 2006 (2:34 pm)
Well i know that i have a bunch of stupid small problems, that are fiaxable, but annoying, and i know we all do. But to name a few, i can't get my passgenger side door to close like it should, its been slamed a few too many times and it doesn't want to close like it came out of the factory, haha. how can i fix this? another small problem is my dash lights a few behind the gauges are out and im not sure how to replace them. Its a 1992 s10 that i bought a few months ago from some people that didn't take the BEST care of it... but its something that drives Replies to this message: cgps (Dec 22, 2006 4:35 pm)

Replying to: chevyatw (Dec 09, 2006 2:34 pm) I just went through the door closing issue and found that the door hing pin bushings on my 1993 were shot. You can get a hing pin and bushing kit at your local auto parts store.
#9 of 33 Fuel Pump by gmgrl Jan 16, 2007 (2:25 pm)
I have a 99 S10 Xtreme, and up until now i havent had too many problems with my truck... the cat went on it when it was still under warranty thank god... but the other day it was -40 out and it was plugged in so she should have started but she never did.. put it in the garage let it thaw out and still didnt start.. when you turn your key, you can hear the fuel pump make noise, and now when you turn the key it doesnt make that noise, there is power.. i am assuming that it is the fuel pump, which is a pretty expensive part.. has any had any problem with there fuel pumps.. my truck has only 119,000 kms on it... that doesnt seem right to me that it would go that soon>> Replies to this message: chevyatw (Jan 16, 2007 9:14 pm)

Replying to: gmgrl (Jan 16, 2007 2:25 pm) Well since i posted this i tried a number of things. But it wasn't the fuel pump. It was a carb sensor and temperature sensor that was shorted and the carb sensor just went nuts, haha. But i found out that this was the problem through diagnostic testing. When your check engine light comes on it should mean it has a diagnostic code stored. and if you had a diag. reader ( i wouldn't suggest buying one right away ) it figures it out for you. Can't live with the technology and can't live with out it... oh the irony, haha
