Hmmm temp sensor is telling the PCM it's too hot & won't allow it to run until it cools down?!
Chitty in a way it it is that $30 part.

I got my lightbar amber leds working again after about 3 months of them not working. I hope before long to get a pair of relays so I can wire them up to flash with the blinkers and stay on with the parking lights.
Don't mind the cell phone pic.

yeah, im like 25% mechanic. maybe even less than that. i say i spent like 800-1000 so far on the same thing. just going on word of mouth from different sources that i figure i can trust.

i changed the temp sensor, and the computer tho and it still does the same thing. the heat sink issue that i read someone else had fits too. i am going to try it out and replace it. but i wonder how can a piece of regular old metal go bad? besides the obvious of rust just corrosion. the heat sink looks fine to me. i have another on hand thats why i will try it, i wont buy it, i know tht!

thanks everyone! i will let you know how it goes, and will be looking out for info from you


i appreciate it

well......i finally did it....i finally replaced that damn motor mount....holy jebus that was rediculas. The rubber had pressed its way around the bolts,then hardened. i had to cut the rubber out tiny piece by piece with a small knife. but once i had the old one out the new one was installed less than 20 min. Spent 3 hours getting the old one out. i wonder how hard it woulda been if the front diff was still in it...and no way in hell in doing the passengerside.

Shackle lift and torsion bar crank all done today! I now officially own a lifted blazer!!!! This was a big PITA because 3 of the 4 bolts were seized in the metal sleeve! 2 cans of PB Blaster and a sledge hammer later they came out like butter.... (sarcasm).

Overall Im glad i never am going to do that again! What a PITA took me 6 hours to get the old ones off and 10 minutes to put the new ones in.

TBARS were easy as pie.

What a day.


edit: Pics up tomorrow because it is dark now!

LOL just now getting that hazard light? If the gas leak is coming from the seal line on the tank (where they mold the tank together) ive been told by a few old mechanics that if you rub a bar of ivory soap across it the gas causes the soap to harden and seal the leak. see if it works?
