97 jimmy with a 4.3 problems.
have you looked at data on a scanner and watched to see if your mass air flow, IAT, and TP sensors are working correctly befor, and after the problem starts. Theres not much left to check.
Yea thanks for all of the help. I am going to go catch a swell and then I am going to go and try a few of those things posted this afternoon. I will keep you all updated.
I agree with the plugs and wires first. the midle plug of the driver side is a bitch to replace. alot of times it does not get replaced, do to the fact that the steering link runs right in front of the plug. The link is very easy to disconect ftom the steering gear box and see if the plug is messed up.
I can see that, but a quick test with an ohm meter will rule them out. They can run fine until they get hot, or good at low RPM then shitty at higher RPM. You said it bogs real bad at 3/4, does it feel like the tranny is slipping or bucking? Those are also signs of bad plugs or wires. Its amazing how simple things are sometimes, they just dont seem obvious.
I had a 1996 blazer with 4.3 also. It started idling rough then, proceeded over time codes like P0300 random multiple cylinder missfires and also P0171 lean condition. Later I then discovered a TSB for simptoms. Tsb was to replace lower intake gasket with updated one from dealer.
