Replying to: tstormfan (Apr 01, 2007 6:26 pm) Chevy s10 1996 here and a very similar problem. Pepboys charged me $160 to tell me that something was wrong, but they didn't know what it was. Thats what I told them when I walked in there and then they charged me for it? LOL   Bought it in September when it was still mostly warm. The rain doesn't seem to cause it to not start, but as soon as it got cold it started having issues. Its automatic and I'm more used to driving manual, but once its started at least I know that it need more gas to keep it started. It shimmies and shakes until I get it moving, then maybe 100yards later it evens out. Three seperate mechanics think I'm nuts cause it always starts when they try it. Automatic is started just by turning the key right? I shouldn't have to pump the gas to get it started right?

Replying to: gothelder (Dec 18, 2007 6:08 am) I have read of similar problems. It was cause by carbon collecting on the intake valves and absorbing the fuel on cold start, sorta like no choke. I thought I would throw this out for you to mull over. Replies to this message: gothelder (Dec 18, 2007 9:57 am) gonogo (Dec 19, 2007 8:49 am)

Replying to: gonogo (Dec 18, 2007 9:08 am) I mention this to my mechanic and then I also mention that on the way home today I slowed down to make a turn and though I had lights I had suddenly lost all other power and the engine had stopped. No warnings, like sputtering, or misfiring sounds, just suddenly wasn't there.   From that he was now pretty sure it was the trucks computer, and when I told him that the first time we did a engine diagnostic the fuse that let the computers talk was missing, he became certain that it was the computer. I had bought the truck used and we now figure that the dealer or prior own just fudged things to make it sell able. And since the seller did some work on it before I took it home, we think it was him because apparently some of the issues Ive had were noticeable to anyone that knew what an engine was supposed to be like. er that meant not me.   I'll let you know how the computer change goes. =) Replies to this message: gonogo (Dec 19, 2007 8:49 am)

Replying to: gothelder (Dec 18, 2007 9:57 am) Well on the power loss. That truck is known for ignition switch failure, not the key one but the electrical switch at the lower column.
#58 of 195 Won't start when wet by cdenner Dec 19, 2007 (3:43 pm)
1999 Chevy S-10 PU 4.3 ltr. engine, won't start when wet, once it dries out and the weather clears it will start. We've replaced cap, rotor, plugs, fuel pump and fuel injectors. Check engine code of P0300 (random misfire). Can anyone help this is getting very frustrating! Replies to this message: gonogo (Dec 20, 2007 8:48 am)
