General Chat Chat about all things Blazer (and related vehicles). Off-topic stuff should be in the lounge, and all mechanical problems should be posted in the proper forum.

That's a score! Check your local junkyards for fenders. Oh, and of course, enjoy the Blazer!

Bought new platinum spark plugs today along with new wires.
Slightly rough idle with a weird smell at idle as well.
almost like the smell of used fireworks
kinda sulfer-ish.

That's a very clean looking interior for an older truck. I think you got a great deal.

The man was in his 80's. Said he's had it since 1500 miles. Radio didn't work, but I just put a brand new Kenwood in my 84 2 door that's having motor issues. So I will be pulling it and throwing it in the 94.

Well hopefully that's it. I'll change them this weekend once I get over this upper respiratory infection.

also reading It could be a bad catalytic converter. But too rich fuel would cause the cat to go bad
so maybe new fuel pressure regulator, or new Cpi or some other leak in there dumping too much fuel.

I have black stealth rims going on this weekend with the tires that are currently on the stock rims. Also building the roof rack this weekend, installing 8 LED pods, 4 flush mount LED pods, and a full size light bar. Also making a mount for my hi lift jack as well.
