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

 

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
