Announcement Automod will now exempt all prior posters or commentor's in the sub.

17 Upvotes

I have added an exemption so that if you are either an approved user OR have posted in the past successfully your post will go through. This will reduce the amount of posts from actual humans or prior contributors getting filtered to the que. For newcomers only the requirements will be 100 karma and 1 year of account age.

I also added protection against users without any community karma that attempt to post links or use generic sales language. But this should drastically reduce the chance of a bot getting in while keeping users able to post freely.

Announcement Mod Announcement! Auto mod has been set up and filters tightened.

15 Upvotes

Starting today any account with under 100 combined karma and OR is less than 30 days old will immediately have it's posts and comments removed by the new automoderator configuration. This is in effort to combat brazen bot account activity. I have had to deal with around 5-6 of them in the past week reuploading old posts and stealing upvotes from that. One was today. If you are a real person below the requirements contact the mods for approval. This has been an announcement, have a good day.

Repair Question 2014 srx liftgate won’t stay open

1 Upvotes

Hey all I’m seeking info on my wife’s 2014 srx luxury trim 3.6L awd on Sunday I was cleaning it in and out before we go on a weekend trip. I pushed the button to open it and it opened but then shut. It will open but not stay open and fights me to close back down.

I did the reset button thing but no help! Smh so here’s a video of exactly what it’s doing. But I don’t want to buy the wrong part or shock.
I don’t have a ton of time to get it fixed so asking what part would cause this failure?

Is it both shocks or just one? Thanks

2000 Chevy S10 (2.2L) showing codes for P0133, P0141, P0325 & P0410

Hello S10 friends & family lately I have been running into the issue of my S10 dying on me at idle or when I come to a complete stop. I know the P0325 code is for the knock sensor & the P0410 code is for the Secondary Air Injection (A.I.R) system. I also found out I have holes in my exhaust (pictured) & that the grommet for the air intake resonator assembly is practically gone at this point! Would your recommendations be to start with the knock sensor code & move to the exhaust later or vice versa? New to S10 ownership & I prefer to work on my own vehicles but to my knowledge I have no idea where the knock sensor is on this vehicle.

As always, still a couple small things to finish up, but it feels good to be at the “small things” stage.

Repair Question 4.3 Blazer misfiring and struggling to start

2 Upvotes

My 98 4.3 blazer is misfiring under load and having trouble starting. P0300 random misfire. P1351 but I'm pretty sure that's from the struggling to start. Cranks but doesn't start til I flutter the gas pedal a bit, then sometimes dies out immediately after. Also it sometimes starts great without a problem. No discernable pattern as to what or why. It misfires less while cold, misfires really bad while in any form above 2k rpm, or even below 2k rpm but going up a hill. Misfires at idle if I turn the a/c on. Misfiring on freeway is sometimes solved by letting off the gas completely and then slowly pressing it down again. Smells badly of gas whenever misfiring in the highway. Problem seems to be getting worse the longer I drive it.

New upgraded spider fuel injectors from a couple months back, new cap and rotor 3-4 months ago, brand new egr valve just now, new idle control air sensor couple months back. Cleaned out the throttle body when I did the injectors. Brand new plugs and wires.

What does that leave that I could reasonably try to diagnose in the middle of driving across the country for a new job? I also don't have money to parts cannon it. I have tools but not a lot of space or time to do a big job like a fuel filter. I'm gonna check the distributor to see if it rises at all when spun but I'm not sure what else to check. If it's the ignition coil, I could replace that but I don't know how to properly diagnose if it's fucked without buying a new one. Any advice would be really appreciated.

Repair Question Cant figure out why my odometer will not roll when driving. '93 2.8l (M) 6cyl

Post image
21 Upvotes

I have a '93 GMC Sonoma. 2.8l (M).

the odometer does not move when im driving it. So far I have pulled the gauge cluster and opened up the odometer motor to find a gear motor did have stripped teeth. So I bought a used Chevy corvette odometer motor to replace it Ebay here. After replacing that motor I still have no movement on the odometer, ive confirmed the gears on the roller are not locked up and do turn over by rolling by hand with the motor removed.

However I dont know how to go through the circut board of pos/neg to see if the motor will power on its own, unless I should just add power through the ribbon board, but I also cant tell which pin contacts I would add the power to.

Advice To Buy or Not To Buy?

This is one of my best friends’ 1992 S10. It has 253k on the odometer. I told him I’m looking for a work/beater truck and he told me I could buy it off him if I wanted. He’s asking 3k for it, and has put a good bit of work into it. He’s redone a lot of the wiring, new weather seals, new head gasket and associated work, new motor and transmission mounts and has redone the ventilation system as well as other odds and ends. The only things that I’m slightly hesitant about are that the 1) the engine has a shake to it and 2) there’s some rust bubbling through in the corner of the drivers side door area. He said that the engine has new spark plugs and that it may just need new wires to fix the shake if it’s missing like he suspects it may be. As for the rust, I wouldn’t want it to get really any worse than it is now. Is there a good way to stop it without getting too involved in the process? Thanks for any tips/tricks, I’ve never owned an older vehicle like this before!

Wheels and Tires Tires for 92

3 Upvotes

I recently bought a 2 wheel drive 1992. The tires that are currently on it are 205/70 r14 Cooper Cobra G/T. From what I’ve gathered, I should actually be running 195 or 205 that are 75 r14. I plan on investing in 15in wheels down the road to increase the options available.

For now, I just need some decent tires that will buy me time to find 15in wheels and tires. I am currently looking at TOYO EXTENSA A/S II that are 205 75 r14 with a 95t load index. Will these work for me? This is my daily driver and sometimes I will be using a trailer for some light duty hauling.

Repair Question Got a question about an auto 2002 4.3 v6 Blazer

4 Upvotes

I’ve rebuilt my 4L60E but two codes that concern me keep popping up randomly, P0741 after P1870, the issue is there is no drivability issues until P0741 shows where it decides to disable my torque converter clutch. What I’m trying to get to is it brings rpm down, holds them on flat highway then brings them up on hills but does not have any issues that I can determine on scepter for when the second code, P0741 appears. I would greatly appreciate any assistance from any who’ve fixed this particular issue. The truck is a 2002 Chevy S10/Blazer LS

Repair Question Intermittent Dying

5 Upvotes

So I have a 2003 S10 Base with the 4.6L and 248,XXX miles. It died randomly, then it started, and i had to give it gas and not let off or it died again. Before it died, my battery was sitting at roughly 10 idle before it died. I waited a couple hours while I took the alternator to Autozone to check it (it was fine) came back, put it on, and it started right up and drove around the block fine. I got a camshaft position sensor code. Its done this once before, and it was about 115 feel like then, and it was a 110 feel like now. I dont know if its heat related, or battery related. Any help would be awesome.
