Check for feul pressure at the feul rail. If there is pressure, check for proper voltage at the injectors..

It will depend on what the outside or ambient temperature is. Please refer to the link for a chart of what the corresponding temp and pressures are. http://idqusa.com/faqs/?faq=6

That would mean the caliper on the left is not working.

the next thing iwould check is the flexplae for cracking. if automatic that is. inspection cover removes easily. look for cracks around crank bolts, also red dusty rust commonly present around older cracks. if broken trans removal required to replace. verify engine to trans aligning dowels present on reassembly.

I ran into a similar issue with a 96 Bronco 4x4. Turns out in order to properly bleed this 1st gen ABS system, you need to use a (mighty-vac) vacuum pump attached to each of the bleeders, longest to shortest line. As odd as it sounds it did fix the same issue. You might want to give it a shot. Good luck!

It might just have a bad battery you should have your dealer take a look over it...

Hope this was helpful to you??

thanks for using FixYa

Tune up? While the Iridium and Platnum spark plugs may be expected to last 100,000 miles the cap and rotor is not made from these substances so they do not last that long.
Any service engine light? If yes, get the codes from it.
Could also be an ignition module. Autozones can check those for free.

there is a wire in the tank i had the same problem that goes to the fuel pump it was bad and they replaced the wire no more problems

You should speak with the Chevy Garage in your area for the very latest on the Dex-Cool issue. I wouldn't use the green stuff unless the Service Garage said it was OK. ... and I say this having heard the same stories you have heard and being a Chevy C2500 owner. Get the straight word straight from the horses mouth.

Thanks for your question @ FixYa.com

sounds like tumblers in the ignition switch are wore down you need new ignition switch

12-16 ft lbs is recommended. It has an o-ring seal so do not overtighten.

Steps?

That's a fairly dangerous job, that should be done
on a lift & by people with experience

You will have a problem getting the vehicle supported
high enough off the ground to get it out

Have to support the engine & then a floor jack if you have
one ,will be hard to use to get the trans out

Definitely need a helper

take whole light out and look at bulbs they may be corrosion built up on them

YOU NEED A 4L60 E TRANSMISSION, THAT WHAT GM USED. BACK IN EARLY 90S GM USED THM 700 - R4.

One of two. Eather your fan switch or your blower motor, but more then likely the fan switch, good luck on it.

It sounds like you have two separate switch problems, brake light switch located at the top of the brake pedal arm, loose or broke, and the back-up light switch located on transmission or linkage depending on transmission type. When asking questions always give as much info as possible.
