1987 chevy k5 blazer won't stay running?
I have a 1987 chevy k5 blazer with the 305 tbi, it won't stay running it will start and die right away. If I pump the gas while starting it will stay running but as soon a I let off it dies? I took the fuel filter off and that wasn't clogged, I also than made sure the fuel pump was pumping, and I cleaned the iac module. Now what else should it be should I take the injectors out and clean them? Please tell me what you think. If you need any additional information just ask I will edit as soon as possible thank you.
1987 chevy s10 blazer 2.8 v6 starts then dies over and over eventually will run?
I would check the distributor, it houses the ignition control module and they have a tendency to fail.
I have a 96 Chevy Blazer that only starts with starting fluid?
My 96 chevy blazer only starts when I spray starting fluid in the intake. So far I have changed the starter and battery, fuel filter, and a shop ran a system cleaner through it. It does nothing but cranks until I spray into the intake, and it's only after it's been sitting for a while. I have to use the spray in the morning before I leave for work, but when I go to lunch it starts right up, it's seems to only be when it sits for more than six hours. It's a v6 and 4X4. What could be the problem?
I have a problem with my 1989 chevy S-10 Blazer, runs when given gas but stalls when @ a stop or idle.?
Check these things if engine stalls: 1) Clogged fuel filter 2) Damp or damaged ignition components 3) Faulty emissions system components (EGR?) 4) Faulty or incorrectly gapped spark plugs 5) Faulty spark plug wires 6) Vacuum leak in the fuel injection system, intake manifold, or vacuum hoses.
My car won't start after metal touching positive post and it smoked. Could it just be the battery or something else?
First check all your fuse’s , yes every last one of them , most cars have a large fuse panel under the hood as well as in the passenger compartment, An then you also have what's called a “ Fusible Link “ , These are normally located going to High Amp Circuits , in your car , i.e. The starter , the alt , the fuse panels , Modern Cars have dozens of these Fusible Links , An they have different ratings that depends on the wire size going to that Component ( I think there are about 6 different gauges / sizes ). What happens when in your case a Direct Short , occurs it protects the wiring An various other electric components in your car ,, they melt down when large amounts of current pass thru them , most are covered in a Fire Resistance shrink tubing type material, An they are soldered on to the wiring of the various components , So grab your self a VOM Tester , or a Test Light use one for Computer Circuits - The VOM Meter would be a better choice , An starting looking for where there is no power where there should be power going , There's a old joke We Mechanics have - wires carry smoke thru them An when you let the smoke out there no good anymore, Good Luck , An hey don't let anymore smoke outta them wires , oh An if you find out it is a fusible link - don't let the Clown at the parts store try An sell you a 25 foot roll of it , tell them you only need like a foot ( 12 inches ) of it OK , An if they tell you otherwise go to another parts store as they are idiots ,
Ran out of gas, filled back up and now my car won't start. What should I do?
So I ran out of gas in my car. We filled the tank up about halfway with the gas we had at our house, but now the car still won't start with gas in it. I tried tapping the gas when I start it, but it didn't work. It just won't turn on at all. What do I need to do?
Is it okay to drive your car without thermostats?
If you take out the thermostat then the coolant will just flow 100% by the water pump. Assuming that your system is properly sized so that cutting off flow with the thermostat will result in the proper operating temperature being met then running without a thermostat will always result in a lower than intended operating temperature.Here are some things that will happen:Your engine will run cooler than the desired temperature most all of the time andit will pollute more since it is tuned to run at the designed temperatureYour heater will take longer to become effective since the coolant is used to warm the heater core heat exchanger so you may, on cold days take longer to warm the cabin andmore importantly, it will take much longer to defrost the windshield using the defroster function.Probably it won’t hurt short term to the car engine itself, I don’t think. But in the long term operating it significantly below the designed temperature could have a number of effects, perhaps on lube viscosity, various carbon buildups that lead to other engine performance problems and possibly permanent damage.I once had a mechanic shop replace the thermostat and flush the coolant. When I get it back the car took forever to warm up the heater and get the engine to the temperature. I eventually took off the thermostat housing and found he had placed it about half way off and clamped it down with the housing out of position- it didn’t leak but the gap on one side pretty much made it free flowing.
87 Chevy K5 Blazer 350, 700R4 Swap to 4 speed?
Best bet is to find a manual 4x4 in a junk yard. You can get everything you will need from it......clutch pedal assembly and linkage (look where the hole is cut in the firewall for the pedal), slave cylinder and lines, center hump with shift boots and holes precut, front drive shaft just in case it is a different length than the automatic, transmission (Muncie 4 speed or a T-18), adapter plate and T case just to keep it as a complete unit (you could then sell yours as a complete set to get some $ back) I have a 77 K20 with a stock 4 speed. !st is a granny gear and will climb anything
What happens if you drive your car with no power steering fluid?
Contrary to the other answers, steering a car with failed power steering is quite possible. It is difficult at low speed, and extremely difficult when stopped, but it can be done. You'll build your arm and chest muscles doing it for any extended period of time.My '87 Mercury leaked power steering fluid like a seive, and I was still able to drive it - even pulling a trailer - without the hydraulic boost.But the other answers are correct that doing so can and eventually will cause the power steering pump to fail. That in and of itself is bad, but it's not the worst thing, especially if you are far from home when it happens.Most modern cars use what's called a serpentine belt to run the engine accessories: the air conditioning compressor, alternator, power steering pump, and radiator fan are all run by the same belt. If one of these fails, the belt can snap, leaving you with an engine that will quickly fail due to either overheating or lack of electrical power.In short, keep at least enough fluid in the pump to keep the shaft lubricated, even if it's not enough to make the system work.
