i put the 2.8L back in because I just paid to have the tranny rebuilt. Also, I dont have the funds for a 350 swap because I spent $1500 on the tranny. The engine only has 17000 miles on it so why not put it back it? I runs just fine.

 

so the blazer has been occasionally turning itself off when idling. I happened to be under hte hood today while the blazer was idling and just wiggling wires around. When I wiggled the 3 wires that got to the TPS plug, the engine started idling faster. Seems like I have a small break in one of those wires. Should be an easy fix. Im very happy I found the problem so easily.

 

 

an idea for what? Im confused why you posted this in my thread.

 

im guessing for your door speaker you wanted to put in

 

Thats a 10" subwoofer in the door. Did'nt mean no harm sorry

 

no harm done. I was just confused on what you were trying to show me. Door looks good but i prefer sound quality over show.

 

old thread but its about to get back up and going
So since I put the engine back in some months ago, Ive been having a very consistant problem. Basically when the engine warms up, it idles like crap. Ive replaced several parts having to deal with the ignition system and the fuel delivery. Basically after 1000 miles of driving it, I finally figured out with the problem was and I feel like an idiot. I forgot to plug the wire harness into the EGR solenoid when I put the engine back in. OOPS! Completely explains my symptoms. The timing is out of whack now, but I plan to fix that tomorrow with a timing light. Hope to have it running like new by tomorrow. Once that is done, its time to concentrate on the dash build. Pics to follow!

 

Any updates?

 

ya, but not a good one. Ole blue is currently sitting dormant in my father in laws barn. I took the blazer on the interstate, got up to 70mph and somehow the screws holding the dizzy cap came loose while driving. Not good. Inded up having to replace the entire dizzy. On the same day, the speedo cable somehow got loose and ended up melting to the exhaust manifold. Im curious (but not really) to find out what else is going to go wrong with this thing.
