1996 GMC Sierra - Page 8 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

The brake light switch is at fault. Get a new one and replace it. The location is at the brake pedal area mounted on a bracket with a plunger stud that rest on the brake pedal's arm the pad is attached to

If thats a TBI system..pull the duct work off and see if the injector is flowing a good stream of fuel while you turn it over..Ive seen fuel pumps run and fuel come from the line but not enough flow to make the injetor flow..

Could be a number of issues. Fuel pressure or regulator issue, but...
If you have a coolant sensor problem, as in reading wrong, and it tells your computer it is colder than it actually is,,,you will get more fuel delivery.

get a complete electrical diagram and start from fuses. use a voltmeter and verify power and grounds. system will not work obviously with a blown fuse or and incomplete circuit. Hope you kept old parts so you can return some of the new ones! I hate standing on my head.

Many cars have a separate flasher for the 4-ways. Also, see if there are any blown fuses (worth a look)

Some ground problem; I suggest re-check wiring connections.

What size motor? 2wd or 4wd? you need the pin locations for the icm? need more infor.

Sounds like you need to replace the 4-Way emergency flasher button because it is stuck causing your problem. Disconnect that flasher button and that should solve the problem. If it does replace it and your problem will be solved.

You need to replace the whole distributer , the part cost around $100.00

I would say start at 4.5 to 5 quarts and check after starting the motor. Slowly add to the full line on the dipstick. Some GM V8's can take up to 6 quarts.

Push it ALL the way down then release your foot, should come back up.

First you will need a bearing puller...... when looking at the front with the brakes off take off the sterring knuckle and there will be a round cyc looking piece of metel stick your snap ring pliers in and take the ring out then assemble the puller on it and it will pop out the snap ring holds it in place i would reccomend replacing that too....hope i could help ty

It could very well be your fuel pump about ready to fail. There is also a fuel pump relay that you could easily replace and try. It should be located in the engine compartment. Your question has two different years listed so it could be in different locations depending which year you have.

It could be several different things. If it does it only when applying the brakes I would say that your brakes rotors and drums need to be turned on a brake lathe. Other things to check are the tires either being out of balance or damaged. You may have a bent or damaged wheel. Check your front CV joints and axles. Check front wheel bearings. Check for slack in your pitman and idler arms. Check the ujoints and carrier bearing on your rear driveline.

if i understand u correctly u replaced the distributor and cap if so i would start with making sure my pick up coil was installed correctlyand or replace it.i also would look at the possibility of it being a powertrain control module or neutral safety switch if this vehicle is equipt with one. hope ive been helpful

A bad fuel pump will not keep the engine from turning over. I would first test your battery and make sure your connections are clean. If that check out I would check your starter and starter relay.

well you could put an accel cap rotor but there was a gasket on they car when it was new some are seprate gaskets and some are on the coil pickup if you cant find the gasket next time you change them just add some permatex around it

Old story. Check the ignition system and make sure you use the right feul. Clean combustion is important and also make sure that it is not running lean.
