86 Gmc s-15 2.8l 6 cyl 4x4 Hi everyone, any help you could offer would be more than greatly appreciated. I bought this truck over a month ago, so i am not super framiler with it yet, anyway it drove fine for the first 3 weeks of coarse, then one morning i went to the truck drove about 8 blocks could heard some squelling(which would happen for 20-30sec when truck started) the truck started to kick/jump as if it was running outta fuel, i put the accelerator down to keep it from stalling out, pulled over, it idled fine looked under the hood, nothing obviously out of the ordinary got back in when i tried to change from 1st to second again i lost power and had to hammer down the accelrator trying to get home drove sorta normal for about 8 blocks heading back, then started dying again and finally stalled out a block from home. After that could not start truck at all, engine just turns with no start, not even any kicking or combustion. Had a weak spark so replaced the wires coil, disct cap and rotor and plugs, so i have good spark to all 6 cylinders tested out good, there is fuel coming out of the tbi unit, i can hear the fuel pump start and i replaced the pump relay to make sure that was not of issue, i have not been able to start car with starting fluid or pouring gas in...running outta ideas here...if you have a suspesion or something i should check please let me know! Thanks alot! -Chris |

Does any one know if one can swap a 4.5 V6 from a 2005 Malibu into a 1999 Chevy S10 with a 4.3 V6, what would be the changes that need to be made, if any. Thank you for your help

I have a 94 gmc sonoma, v6, manual trans. about 200,000miles. Great truck. A couple weeks ago when starting it would be real slow like the battery was getting weak. Now when I turn the key I get nothing, no click or nothing. Lights work etc. service engine light comes on. So I took battery out and had it checked. It was ok. Someone said it had to be alternator. I replace alternator, still nothing, no sound or click. Now someone said it must be starter. Where is the starter on this truck and I thought if it was the starter I should hear a clicking sound? What do you think? |

I have a 99 sonoma w/4.3 h.o. It was cranking and finally would catch after 2-3 attempts. I cleaned out the iac motor and the ports and intake sensors. It'll start right up for the first few attempts then it will just crank and not catch at all. Once it is started and running it will start up immediately but if it sits overnite it wont start at all. Any input would be greatly appreciated
