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.

what have you gotten done on your blazer today?

The blaze has been at my dad's friends (mechanic) for a few days now. I took it over there after I couldn't figure out what was wrong. He confirmed it wasn't a spark issue or a fuel-related issue. So that knocks out plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor, fuel pump, fuel leak, injectors.

According to him, it is a computer issue. The computer isn't reading the air-fuel ratio right and that is why it takes 30 to 45 seconds for it to finally crank, but when it does crank it runs well. He doesn't know the solution as of yet, but if he can't figure the solution out in a few more days, looks like the ecu needs to be re-flashed. :/

I never thought I'd say this... but I'm beginning to hate this truck.
EASY...easy to hate em,only thing that keeps me going is the 4 wd and what a new 4 wd might cost...
i remember seeing a lot of green corrosion up inside the battery cable where 2 or 3 wires come together at the connection to the battery????

Nope, figured it out today. My amp cable was not allowing a good connection to the battery somehow. Removed the amp cable and it's starting fine again.


It's still on Craigslist.

I dunno, but it sure is a steal! I would pay that full price and buy that gentleman a beer for asking such a reasonable amount!

Default I have come to the conclusion........

That Im going to start over from ground 0.Pull out the rebuilt engine thats 1 year older than my Jimmy is 95 engine in a 96 that Im going to put the 96 engine back in it.Simply cause a wiring harness wont match up to the 95 cpi.Then I just got finished spending $600 on having my transrebuilt and a stage 2 shift kit.

I already hate mine the only thing that keeps me going is how much $ and effort I have already put into it to get that darn thing going on the road again.
