Loss of power going up hills. Chevy Blazer by bingonut

In september we were coming back from Ocean city through PA. PA is all hills. When I was driving I noticed that going up the hill seeemed to be a challange for the Blazer, after a few more hills the accereration got worse and to the point that we had to pull of the side of the road. Blazer at that point would just completly shut down. No gas, no power, no engine. Turn off and turn back on and you would be ok for another 60 miles or so and then it would do the same thing. This was a very hot day in the 90's. We changed the belt tentioner thought that was making every thing slip and Blazer has been fine for about 1 month. unitl this weekend when we went on a road trip, more than the 30 miles we usually drive everyday to work, and it was hot this weekened and the Blazer started doing the same thing all over again. Loss of power no acceleration and then total shut down. Help, does any one know of this problem?

Upper intake manifold removal - '96 Jimmy 4.3L by mwolf9000

I'm trying to remove the upper intake manifold on my '96 Jimmy 4x4 as I appear to have a coolant leak from the lower intake manifold. I've removed the bolts from around the edge of the upper intake manifold and it won't come off. It appears that it's being held down by the two bolts near the center that were holding down the fuel lines. But the top of these two bolts appear to be a male Torx T-15 and I can't find a female T-15 size female socket to remove them with. So ... what do I do?

When I go to take off it doesnt want to go and it will bog down and or stall,and when I start goin down the road it sometimes does not want to shift and then sometimes it will not go over 2,000 rpms and i will only be going about 50 mph.When the truck is just sitting in park I can rev it up and everything and it will do fine,sounds good and every thing but when I go to take off all that happens.Also when I start it white smoke comes out of the tail pipe any suggestions,I have checked fuel filter,injectors,plugs,coil but nothing any info and I would appreciate it thanks

95 blazer misses when warm by grose69

have a 95 Blazer with 185000 miles on the original Vortec V-6. Lately I have noticed the engine running poorly after it gets warmed up. I just changed the plugs, wires,cap rotor and O2 sensor. None of this seems to have helped. When you first start the engine, it runs as smooth as the day it was built. After about 30 minutes, the miss starts. I have also noticed a significant drop in fuel mileage as well. Any ides?

97 Blazer acceleration issues by wm1210
Nov 09, 2007 (10:08 am)

I have a 97 Blazer with 140K on it and it has been having some acceleration and performance issues. At times the acceleration is very sluggish and then it at other times it is normal. The sluggishness tends to be more pronounced when the fuel tank is full and then occurs less when the tank is below half. I recently had a tune-up and had the fuel pump replaced, but the sluggishness still exists. My mechanic indicates that the computer is not throwing any codes and hesitates to guess at replacing any parts. Does anyone have any thoughts? Thanks!

New Engine noise by cincyblazer

Just today, my 2002 2-Dr blazer began making an engine knock at startup. Once the Engine temp reaches 210, the noise stops. I have also noticed that the oil pressure guage fluctuates while driving. Does anyone have any ideas.
