#9 of 14 Re: 1999 GMC Jimmy High Temperature Idle [bryceb04] by repairdog May 21, 2007 (2:27 am)
Replying to: bryceb04 (May 20, 2007 4:08 pm) Fan clutch is going so no air flow, cap not holding pressure, water pump going, thermostat could be sticking, or the whole system crapped up - fan and cap get my vote as only when sitting. I would flush it out and add a new thermostst and cap and see if OK. Then on to the fan clutch. WP normally leak at seal holes if bad.
#10 of 14 Tune Up Issue by taffie Sep 24, 2007 (7:19 am)
I have a 1995 Jimmy that was running beautiful until I recently had a complete tune up. The mechanic who tuned it up seems to have done something wrong. My truck now runs so rough at take off and idle. Can someone please tell me what do you think he done wrong. I've taken it back to him several times and I believe he has done nothing to fix the problem and now he's not answering my calls. I was told that the firing order is probably not correct. If this is correct what is the correct firing order.

what would be causing my rpm's to go up & down while my 2001 gmc jimmy is just idiling? there's no problem while i'm moving- just when i'm idiling. it's got a 4.3 v-6 vortec engine in it. Replies to this message: nljewell (Dec 10, 2008 1:14 pm)

Replying to: unicorn747 (Sep 17, 2008 9:01 am) My 99 Jimmy does the same thing only when my heat is on. A few years ago I was out of state and my alternator took a crap, had it replaced at a dealership, and that's when it started. If you find out why e-mail me at nljewell1104verizon.net. Thanks.
