somewhat of a situation
well just over a month ago i bought a 2002 LS Blazer. it has been running really good, but yesterday i noticed it was a little hard to start in the morning, it started up on the 3rd try after giving it a little gas.then yesterday afternoon after driving it a while, the trans started slipping after 3rd gear, like the rpms would go up and down almost like it was hesitating, i just checked the fluid in the trans and its fine, but again it was hard to start, moreso than yesterday, what do you think ? i still have a 2 yr warranty on it and it covers just about everything except the battery and tires

RE: somewhat of a situation
if you're under warranty, go get it checked out. the tranny slipping would be potentially very bad...but it might not even be a tranny problem. Hard starting is usually caused by a failing fuel pump or fuel pressure regulator. Bad fuel supply can cause stumbling problems that can feel like tranny issues...but really its power loss in the engine...not tranny.

Exactly! With a warranty, get it looked at. We can speculate here, but it really would just be wasting time.

well after sitting a few days it starts up fine and runs fine, maybe it was just bad gas since it was just sitting before i bought it, the computer was scanned but no codes came up
