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 am no expert, but I am sure you cant. I think front wheel drive motors turn oppisite direction than a rear wheel drive motor. Also just for info, look up 3.4 camaro engine swap. Hope this helps.

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?

starting issue w/99 gmc sonoma by jayoebee

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

Sounds like no power to the ecm, did you check the fuses. Should be an ECM B and ECM 1. Not that familiar with a 86, it does sound like a power problem, short maybe.

I am having a problem close to that same thing. after reading one of the responces on this web site I think I am going to try what they suggested, running a power wire from the battery to the power block on the firewall, the one the courtsy light goes to. It seams to me I heard about this problem a long time ago but had forgoten it. Anyway, Ill give it a try and let you know how it works out. If you decide to try it, let me know how it works for you. GOOD LUCK!!! erg1
