Used TMV from $2,414
vehicle locked in 4 low and can't get it out please advise
I had a circumstance once wherein I had a short inside the oil pressure sender, and this kept blowing the fuse on the ecm "b" bus, which killed the fuel pump relay. whatever you do, don't try putting in larger fuses to get it to run longer if you find the ecm fuses keep blowing. it may require pulling each sensor and bench testing it, but too many amps through the ...

FIXED!! - I originally put a pressure gauge and it was reading 48lbs, i thought that was enough, however it was not.. I replaced the pump and the fuel filter and now i got 60 lbs (key on - not started) 54 lbs (running) Now it starts no issues. You should be near 61 lbs (key on - not started) for proper starting. 55 - 61 lbs for starting, the higher ... Read More
Did you ever figure this out? sounds exactly like my issue
Did you ever figure this out??? seem like the exactly problem i am having, once i get it started, it will restart with in a few minutes i let it set for over an hour.. no dice.. was it the fuel pump?
Having a failing fuel pump is likely the cause of this, The pump is required to send fuel at around 58-62 psi (on mine) and when the engine isn't running, the battery must supply power to pump up this pressure, a worn set of bearings or anything else that causes the pump to be slightly harder than normal to turn will require more voltage than the battery can deliver at startup, ...

Replace the fuel pump relay and/or the fuel pressure regulator. Replace the relay first and if that does not fix the problem, replace the fuel pressure regulator. Fuel Pressure Relay: ACDelco D1786C (GM 19116657) $8.10 $15.80 MSRP Fuel Pressure Regulator: ACDelco 21-72251 (GM 19106768) $66.00 $126.00 MSRP

So I have had my 2000 Chevy blazer for almost 6 years now and haven't had too major of issues with it. However, a just started having issues with it starting. The engine does not turn over completely to start but will crank. I had my car jumped and it started right away. I brought it into a local shop and the battery was indeed shot. I replaced the battery and ... Read More
S10 rear calipers just don't lend themselves to being reused. The good news is that they are not that expensive, and rebuilts work fine and are readily available. Pick a good parts house and replace both. Quick and easy fix.
Just go get a couple rear calipers and install them. This is a common problem with S10 rear disc..
After pressing on the brakes the rear calipers do not release causing the back tires to get extremely hot while driving for some time.When I am coming to a stop I feel brake grab. I do not know very much at all about what causes this, if I need to replace calipers and hoses or what. I would really like some feed back before I take it to the shop and ... Read More
For the past two months my truck has been jerking (as if it's not getting its gas) no matter what speed I'm driving. When it is idling, it sounds like it is going to stall, but hasn't...yet. I've recently put STP and fuel injection cleaner in...neither worked. Also, I've had the air and fuel filter changed...didn't work. I purposely go to different gas stations to make sure it's not bad gas. ... Read More
The one-piece rear crankshaft seal can be replaced with the engine in the car. The oil pan must be unbolted from the block and dropped down one or two inches, the starter, transmission, torque converter, and the flex plate (flywheel) must be removed so you can un-bolt the old seal and housing from the block so you can pull it off the cranksahft. .

I have a 2000 blazer with 4.3l CSEFI engine that won't start. I can get it started with starting fluid, and it will run after that but it hesitates from time to time, nearly stalling. After I shut it off, it will restart if I try within 10 minutes. After that, it won't restart without using the starting fluid. I hooked up a fuel pressure gauge. When I turn the key ... Read More
Check with the dealer to see if this is involved in a saftey recall. Chrysler had the same issue on the minivans, and my dad's was covered 10 years after the vehicle was built! In fact, the bulletin stated that the repair was warranteed for life, because if the clock spring failed, you lost the cruise, the horn, and the airbag. 2000 Chrysler Town and Country. Wouldn't hurt to ask!
I Feel your pain. I have a 2000 4x4 and I bought it when it had 18,000 miles. It now has 280,000 miles. I have had the same problem with ball joints and wheel bearing assemblys. I have since learned some things about these SUVs. #1. They have built these with small truck parts on the front and that's why they eat ball joints and bearings #2. The shocks need to ... Read More
Bleeding ABS brakes is a sore spot on the Chevrolet S10 Blazers. Most auto repair shops give up trying to get the correct brake pedal travel after about 2 hours of foot pumping. The shop then will tell the customer that the ABS modulator is bad and needs to be replaced. The ABS modulator costs $700 for a rebuilt unit for the 1985 -1994 ABS brake systems. Rebuilt modulators are not ... Read More
My 98 Blazer does the same thing as yours. It's been running like this for 8 months. This moring, on my way to work, it sputter so hard I thought it was going to stall.

We are having the same phantom lock/unlock problem with our 97 jimmy. We left the back gate open for several hours, now the car unlocks & lock on its own, whether the car is on or not...even drained the battery last night. Any solutions??
On take off and normal driving my blazer seems to stall or sputter then runs fine again. I have replaced the distributor cap, rotor button, plug wires, plugs, egr valve, fuel filter, and the mass air flow sensor. The only thing that has helped was the mass air flow but after driving a few days it starts acting up again. I have already replaced it again with same problem. Any help ... Read More
I have a 2000 Chevy Blazer LT. It seems to be only happening when the truck in park. On a recent long road trip (700 miles), we stopped at an oasis. When I put the truck in park, the following happened: The dashboard lights up like a christmas tree followed by the starter engaging (while the engine is still running). I assume its the starter because I hear a loud metallic ... Read More
I have a 2000 Chevy Blazer 4WD and took it to the shop to replace rotors and pads on the rear. While driving it home, the rear drivers side wheel started to smoke bad! Had them tow it back. At that point they replaced the calipers and replaced the lines as well. Went to pick it up and now the pedal is going to the floor even after I watched them ... Read More
Last night my nephew left the back gate on my blazer open all night. It started fine, but when I got to work this morning I tried to lock the doors and nothing.....

yeah oops, its a 2000 chevy blazer ls 4 door 4x4,sorry!!
Thank you for that reply - very informative and helpful! :) tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper
Sure. Things like a loose fuse holder. Causes an increase in contact resistance, and more heat. Fuses are blown by heat, whether caused by excess current, ambient temperature, or high resistance in the fuse holder itself. Not uncommon to see a fuse blow when a cheap inline holder is used on a high current circuit. Sometimes, if the fuse is rated high enough, the holder itself will melt before the fuse ... Read More
there are more things than just over current that can blow a fuse I'm curious. Can you elaborate? tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper
Cardoc50, I am not trying to argue with anyone here, just pointing out that in my 40+ years of working on electrical systems in both automobiles and industry that there are more things than just over current that can blow a fuse. I am glad your expertise was of good use to him, and I am glad his problem is resolved. My apologies if I have offended you. jflemmons
Sir, if you knew the answer to R2W's question,you should have gave him a simple answer to his simple question not ramble on about 60 model cars. Todays vehicles are designed to use thinner engine oil and run at much higher temperatures. Thermostats right at almost 200 degrees. If engine compartment heat can blow afuse ,there would be cars sitting by the highway everywhere. The gentelman had a 2000 year model ... Read More
No, the heat underhood alone will not pop the fuse. But the high underhood temps combined with a fuse element heated by it's rated current can definitely blow a fuse. Electric current is what causes the temperature to rise in the fuse element. When it gets hot enough, it melts and opens. The same issue can occur with automatic resetting circuit breakers, such as on some headlamp circuits. The breaker will ... Read More
RW2 thank you for the nice words. I have been a mechanic for Ford motor company and General motors for 38 years. I am not a genius but heat from air temperature rise will not blow or (pop) a fuse. And did'nt you say you had a 2000 model Blazer? Not a 1960 Chrysler? Just glad I could be of help and thanks again.
Glad it was just the fuse. One thing that folks don't often realize is that it isn't the electricity per se that pops the fuse. The fuse has a specific (very low) resistance, and the more current that goes through, the hotter it gets. A short circuit will cause a very fast rise in temperature in the fuse element, and 'pop goes the fuse'. I mention this because in intense summer ... Read More
I want to thank cardoc50 for this information. I was able to find the relay center which is next to the windshield washer reservoir on the drivers side engine compartment. I replaced the fuse there and hatch,door locks and mirrors are now working.
I do know the hatch,door locks and mirrors are on the same circuit. If you have checked the accesory fuse(Ibelieve that is the one), It would be the relay. The problems you have with those is that they draw a lot of power to operate. That's why there is a relay also and not just a fuse. If I remove the power accesory fuse,those same things do not work at all. ... Read More

Some debris could easily have been knocked loose during the maintenance work. GM's Dexcool will form crud in the cooling system if it isn't flushed and replaced every two years.

The chemicals just don't eat away the stuff. The only sure cure is to Remove ... Read More
They may have gotten debris in the cooling system. Quick repair attempt would be to pull the hoses off the core and backflush the core with a garden hose. Note what comes out of the core. If it backflushes to clean water, and forward flushes okay, hook the hoses back up and top off the cooling system with Dexcool or equivilent (long life antifreeze.

My 2000 Blazer also had bad heater core and I had to replace it. The heater core can be clogged over weeks or months. In my case the symptom was the gurgling sound in the heater core. Then the coolant leaked from the heater core to inside cabin and then to the outside of the vehicle. Looks like your heater core is just clogged and is not leaking. If I were ... Read More
It may be a bad speed sensor. It is a relatively cheap fix. It happened to my 2000 Blazer, too. Good luck.
2000 Chevy Blazer ABS problems, engages even with normal breaking. pumping the breaks helps. Could this be a bad master cylinder?
A shop just changed the lower gasket on my intake manifold and the spider fuel injector on my 2000 cheverlot blazer. Before I took it in the heater worked. The next day when I got it back the heater did not work. The shop checked and said the heater core is clogged. They flushed the cooling system but said the core is bad.

Own a 2000 chevy blazer. Makes a loud almost revving noise when its cold. noise will stop when you come to a stop and does not come back until the car is shut off. also when you stop it makes a clunking noise. any ideas. very similar to #107. almost the exact same thing. please help.
A 2000 Chevrolet Blazer with a serpentine belt must use a reverse flow (ccw) , long style water pump. AC Delco 252-711 (new) GM-88926225 $50 Rebuilt reverse flow water pumps vary from $35 - $50. Note: Chevrolet engines with a V-belt use a standard flow (cw) water pump.
Less than $50. It is basically the same water pump as used on a Chevy V8.
I own a 2000 chevy blazer and it will not change into 3rd gear. It just started this issue yesterday. I did recently replace the battery. I drove it this morning and it changed into the gears fine. Does anyone have any idea what my problem might be?
Get a second opinion. While it is possible for a high mileage, or heavy towing, to kill the bearings in the diff, that $1500 estimate is high. A complete rebuilt or used unit is what he is quoting, and if you can find a good drivetrain shop they should be able to re-use something out of the original. The typical failure I have seen is the pinion gear bearing, and many ... Read More

How do you replace a heater core in a 2000 chevy blazer
I have a 2000 chevy blazer. It has very little heat. i flushed the rad ,heater core and changed the thermostat. still no heat . Any ideas. Also growling kinda noise coming from what appears to be front right corner. It does it in 2wd and 4wd. Noise gets louder as the speed increases. Doesnt change if braking or turning.

CHEAP FIX!!! I had the same problem 2 years ago with my 2000 Blazer. I went through hell trying to figure out the problem with many mechanics.

My Blazer bogs down when you hit the gas and has trouble starting. We have replaced the MAF sensor, plugs, rotor, cap, plug wires, and fuel filter. The fuel pressure is at 50psi when idling and 64 wot when driving. Can we have pressure without flow? Initially the code was p0171. Now that we cleared it it hasn't come back on.

The front wheel overall width is wider than the back wheels on the ZR2. look from rear to front along the side(standing at the rear of the vehicle looking along its side), and you will see this.

We had a similar irritating problem with our old Blazer. Would start fine cold, but not when warm, unless you walked away and left it for 15 minutes or so. It would also start right up with jumper cables. After trying any number of things, we finally replaced the battery. It seems obvious now, but at the time we had been assured the battery was fine.

Thanks again for the info. Well if S10 warehouse is a good deal I can understand the need to want to pass that along to people. Perhaps they should have you working for them. You definitely seem to know what you're talking about and where to find parts at a reasonable price. Which has always been very important to me when buying anything.
Catching up on messages here. Definitely use a meter or test light to see if you are getting power to the motor. The switch is very easy to change, and is also available from s10warehouse. I promise I don't work for or get a kick-back from those guys, but with the price of dealer parts I figure any time I find a 'good deal' I am going to spread the word. ... Read More
Well, I'm not much good at this stuff, but my driver's side window switch carbons up every couple of years on my van. When the switch quits, you don't hear the motor at all. So the motor may be ok, just not getting power. The faint grinding sound about a week ago does sound like the motor gave up the ghost though.
I am not hearing any sound from the door panel at all. It seems as if the motor is probably dead. Thanks again for your help Robert
Do you hear any sound at all from the door panel when you press the switch? If totally silent, may be the motor is dead.

i also have a 2000 zr2 blazer and when i first got it i thought there was something wrong with it when i was turning sharply, but it turned out its the posi-traction rear differential. Could be the same for you.. just a suggestion.
Thanx for the input on the distributor, it did even out, as for the "Vibration" The Gas pedal, actually "flutters" or "pulsates" although I will investigate your PVC theory...any other thoughts will be appreciated.....
A new distributor should have smoothed out everything but my guess is the rear plastic for the cap screw broke off as thats a common defect on these - then the cap can't be secured back on and a rebuilt fixes that about $75 part. As for the vibration are you sure its the pedal or are you hearing a buzzing vibration and feeling it in the pedal - look at ... Read More

Well brian..it depends on the engine size and a few other factors. Typically a full size v-8 trucks will have a lower stall converter, around 14 to 1700. rule of thumb is the smaller the engine the higher the stall. if you have a 6 cyl then the typical stall is from 18 to round 2000...4 cyl are a little higher..2 to 2300.

The part may have been the TCC in the trans as it effects the hard shift. Usually a new filter helps as any crap in the trans gets in the valve body and the computer adjusts the pressure to compensate.

One other thing to note on the radio. If the radio is shut off, the power will still go on and off. The clock will go out and come back on. I can not find a short.
The radio on the Blazer will start to turn off and on when the car gets warmed up. It won't do it when you initially turn the car on but after about 10 minutes it starts its problem. The off and on times vary, they are not consistent. Also, the car battery dies at wierd times. The car may go for two day or three weeks without the battery dying but ... Read More
Thanks for the info., I'm really beginning to think I'm never going to get my blazer back. The mechanic is still working on it.

I've suspected all along that he's been using salavage yard parts but now I know for sure. He told me yesterday that he got a ... Read More
This problem sounds like it could be the torque converter. Everything in the Automatic tranny relies on pressure and the Torque converter provides this pressure with the fins inside of it spinning and pushing the fluid to each valve and port, acting as a Pump (the only pump for the Tranny fluid). If the fins wear out, break or get weak, it could cause a "Slipping" effect. It would have a ... Read More
