Default Help Please.! i just cant figure it out.

I have a 98 chevy blazer. it starts and runs just fine but recently i have noticed that when i let off the gas in any gear it will rev up just fine then come down and bog just a bit. and if im going in reverse ad turn the wheel sharp i had it stall out. i just cant figure out why it is doing this. i also have a problem where it is running pretty hot. i sits at about 220 for temp when driving at about 30 to 40 but when i go below that it will sit about 240 and sometimes jump up above that. i dont know why it is doing this and i dont want to go on any long distance trips if its going to over heat on me. Please help

Just gotta remove the thermostat. As far as the stalling, sounds like you need a new distributor cap and rotor. Mine did the same thing before I did a complete tune up. I replaced the plugs and wires first, still did it, then I did the cap and rotor and that took care of it. Just be sure to use delco!

That's too hot. Look around the forum for water pump symptoms.
