all ready replaced the relay and it pressure checks perfectly. realy lost could use any advice
I have a 1989 Chevy S10 Blazer 4.3L V6 w/ air and ~140K miles on it. Recently I was driving to work (only 4 mile trip) and it started coughing/sputtering something fierce and the cab started to smell like antifreeze. The power brakes stopped working and the heater quit blowing. I got into the parking lot at work and it continued to cough/sputter for a good 2 minutes before it finally choked and quit. 4 hrs later going home it ran perfect.
This cough/sputter episode has happened 3 or 4 times in the last month or so and I need to figure out what is going on. I maintain it regularly, there is pleny of coolant and I can see no evidence of anything major happening under the hood.
The only thing I can think of is that about 2 months prior to the first incident, the idler pulley broke, which broke the serp. belt, which means I drove it at most 4 miles with none of the belt driven components working.
I am at a loss(not being any sort of mechanic) and I dont want to go to a mechanic not knowing anything about my situation....any help would be greatly appreciated

I'm a babyboomer female that loves to garden and golf...I am also happily married, so I'm only interested in S10 conversations - not pickup!
Try it up and keep us posted. Best of luck

1. the injectors were spilling fuel even when the vehicle was turned off.
2. when i opened the throttle body, the diaphram spring whas completely broken in half, this creates a problem, because when the diaphram doesnt have a spring, the truck wont run at the correct fuel pressre.
the real reason i posted on this forum is because i was curious as to where i would find this spring. is it a dealer part, because napa doesnt carry it, and it doesnt come in the tbu repair kit. any info would be extremely helpful
I have a 99 Chevy S-10 Blazer 4x4. I'm getting a loud humming or whinning noise coming from the front end. I thought it was coming from the engine, but when I stop and put it in neutral it goes away. Its only when i'm in gear. I just had the electrical switch that switches from 2x4 to 4x4 replaced. Any Ideas what the noise is. I'm thinking its something with the drive shaft or 4x4. It makes the same sound weather its in 2x4 or 4x4.
Anyway... here is the pic of the connection (if it works) or msg me and i will email it to you)
I had that problem in my truck, I jacked up the rear end and listened to it.
Thank You
Does anyone have any suggestions? Experienced this problem before themselves? Please help.... :sick:
Anyone with suggestions, I'd appreciate some help. :confuse:
Also I am experiencing A/C problems. I will turn the air on, and the light will flash and nothing will happen. I added refrigerant to it and nothing will happen. There doesn't seem to be any leaks. Is it just low refrigerant pressure, a compressor problem or what??
I removed my sway bar in the front cause of all the off road stuff i do and only have one CV joint where it belongs in the front,just takin up space front diff is toast.
Anyone else had same problems?
I know most have folks have everything intact in the front, Gotta understand what kinda driving i do.Rough is a little understated!!
just wondering about the uppers.
Thanks
Sucks really, check your clutch on your fan if clutch is bad it tends to drag down the power i use a k&n filter and nothing changed, thought it would have gotten worse but it did'nt.
Air compressor on AC could be draining it also,
Heavy truck with a small motor and aero dynamic as a brick!
Good luck...

My brakes intermittently get very hard, with no stopping power. Sometimes I can push through this, but other times I have to let it up completely and try again. Usually the second or third time after I let it up, it depresses fully and normally.
The problem only occurs after I have been driving for awhile. The first 15 minutes each time I drive it are usually fine, but then the problem gets worse the longer I go. Eventually the ABS and brake warning lights will come on, but that takes a long time, and I've only had that happen once or twice.
Other symptoms include a low and soft grinding noise when it happens, and hot front rims after I've been driving.
Front calipers and pads are new, and the rear drums are new.
I've been doing okay going back and forth from work, but I have to drive half-way across the country in a couple weeks. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
I just put my front end up and noticed that the driver's side front wheel doesn't spin as freely as the passenger's side front. I get at least a full revolution when I spin the passenger's side wheel, and at most 1/8th of a revolution on the driver's side.
2. Can the analog instrument cluster be switched with the digital one? What modifications are necessary to make it happen?
