Any suggestions?
I just picked up an 84 S-10 Pickup with a 2.8 v6, using the XBX vacuum diagram. The problem I’m having is finding where the Vacuum hose from the vacuum ball and Intake manifold plugs into. None of the dealers has any manuals left for those years. The XBX diagram doesn’t show the Vacuum ball or the vacuum line I need to hook up.
All the other lines are in their spots.
If I can put a picture up I will to show you what I’m talking about.
If any of you have one like mine maybe you can look on yours and see where that line hooks to.
Thanks,
JaY
PLEASE, HELP.........................
I finally found a diagram in a manual that shows this line was to the Vacuum Mod for the Cruise Control. The truck I have doesn't have cruise control in it. I guess some did have it in them.
(sounds like heavy tire tread at hi way speed). it's not the tires though
may have worn parts because of problem with actuator valve. only have 87,000 kms on truck, any suggestions :
Need help.
1. How hard is it to replace/rebuild the CPI system, what do i need other than the spider injection kit?
2. Where can i get a new cable for my 4X4 system(from the shift lever to transfercase)
3. both my windshield washer and intermittent wiper settings have gone. the wipers only run on the "high" setting. they both went at the same time so would that be the switch that has become inoperable?(cruise control still works...)
4. How hard is it to replace the antennae cable as mine was burned apart due to the exhaust manifold.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as i need to fix this vehicle asap for my summer work.

And help is appreciated!

I then had to fix front Premium wheel bearings , after pricing 3 different suppliers Canadian Tire was the cheapest except for eBay, which by the way if you order O2 sensors off eBay make sure to ask if they are OEM, one's I bought had to be tampered with in order to fit properly, and no recourse because of the mistake, ask more questions...
all in all I forked out $686.00, truck runs perfect now YEH!!!!
I have a 92 4.3 TBI.... If it's the same hose as i had leaking then broke when i tried to remove it, then i went to hardware store and bought a fitting w/ a nipple and spliced it in. by the way i had to use an easy out/reverse drill bit to get the old zinc type fitting out of the manifold. :sick: Mine was a quick connect fitting hose too... Hope that helps.

But anyway, I dread it that in hot weather (never a problem in other seasons), I will be at a stop sign or light; I may often hear the engine racing, so to speak - then when I attempt to pull away, I have a complete loss of power. Not a stall, but nothing when I put my feet on the gas pedal.
It is a nightmare. People honk at me, and I create a hazard. I know from experience what to do: quickly as I can switch off the ignition, and re-start, fiddling with the key (and my steering column often locks). I then get it going, hear the engine race again, and hold clutch at half way, with gas pedal down, and I get out of there. Talk about stressful?
During these episodes, or prior, I may or may not get engine warning light: "service engine soon." But oil pressure and temperature read normal.
I should say also that I virtually have no AC in the truck. It's never been great, and I've had it serviced once with little or no long lasting benefit.
Otherwise, I love the truck, have sunk in a thousand dollars recently into it, between brakes and tires. So I'm inclined to want to get this thing remedied once and for all, but if it means major cash, I might just have to trade it in. Don't feel comfortable selling it privately, with this known problem.
Any ideas? Someone who drove it mentioned air intake as a source of the issue, but I have no clue.
And does anyone feel as if I'm better getting myself fixed up with another truck (any good deals out there?). I'm moving to Atlanta in the next month, hotter weather, and I'm at decision point. Would ideally like to keep the truck and not fork out for another - but it might be more hassle and a false economy in light of this horrible issue.
Any thoughts, greatly appreciated. THANKS.
would like some help. Thanks Rick
If it ran before you replace the gasket, check all electrical plugs and grounds for proper hook up.

The belt runs the water pump, a tow would have been cheaper, sorry.

At 3/4 to WOT throttle the vehicle surges/bucks and is not making the power it should.
No codes, runs fine other wise.
Also yesterday while stuck in traffic it appeard to become stuck on high idle at 1900rpm, pushing the vehicle along and idleing at 1900 at stop lights.
After sitting 2 hours was back to normal.
Again no codes.
