It was my dad's truck, but when he passed in 2011 I kept it up over the years and still have it today. The pinging didn't go away and retarding the spark made the truck feel like it was pulling a trailer. I wonder if Scot has been using the vehicle beyond its design spec. The only engine parts that needed d replacement were the alternator, and a knock sensor. Cheers and thanks for the memories! Gas is spoiled in tank but did start. I think the iridium spark plugs may be too harsh for the engine. I think the iridium spark plugs may be too harsh for the engine.
Illegal to open the system without the card. I have a S-10 with the 4. Far less because of the inherent design flaws right out of the box that have been able to stay with a design that is near 10 years, but because of how stupid General Motors thinks it's costumers really are! This is usually done with a vacuum pump. My complaint is that I had mechanical problems with the first two 4. I always wondered why my full size 1990 C1500 pick up needed a smog pump with its 4. It's like a water torture.
All models come with a single sliding door on the passenger side — a driver-side sliding door is not offered. If no spark then you have to check the distributor cap and rotor. I have no lights lit on my dash, I have plenty of power and shifts smoothly. If you look down, you'll see the carbon build up and it may just need and good cleaning. The solution was to change the blade. Smooth, quiet, no complaints with the engine whatsoever.
What is the moral of the story? I was so disgusted with my 4. That he and several others have had good luck with Vortec 4. Two cylinders were cut off of the 5. Really like the twin turbo set up, not that i plan on running 25psi of boost but more than 7 or 8. This part is also sometimes called Chevrolet Astro Engine Sensors. I'm not worried about it, but what makes that sound? My dad bought a G20 van years back that the salesman said had a 350 in it. If you don't like it, you don't have to buy a truck with it and you didn't.
The inherent failure of the 4. If the system is already empty, then you can proceed to the next step. There was a bracket for connecting a smog pump, but the pump was not there. I actually have worked on these engines non-stop since their inception. The truck never pulled a trailer and it never carried a load in its bed exceeding 800 pounds.

That's probably the only reason why I get away with having so many vehicles on my property. While I see others who have gotten 200 thousand miles of trouble-free miles from their 5.
Is it in the proper position? At the rear, dual doors that swing open to the sides are standard. An indication of piston slap is a decrease in noise as the engine warms up. I went back after work started right up but still knocks. What can we put in it to improve gas quality? I've also heard in other cases the problems were faulty fuel injectors. At the rear, dual doors that swing open to the sides are standard. So far, I have turned up the following on an S-series page: 1988 Common: The 4. Then, after 6000 miles, the Goodwrench engine spun a bearing and needed to be replaced under warranty.
Then put a voltmeter between the battery ground and the spot you cleaned. A transmission mount may have gotten soaked with fluid, and the situation cited might necessitate replacing that as well. No oil burning, no smoke, no ticking, no drips. My old 2 shows camshaft sensor bad. I have numerous other friends who have had this engine in their vehicles, and have never had a complaint.
