SOURCE: 2002 chevy Blazer hard starting

replace the fuel injectors, that is the likely cause......

to test the injector, take the power clip off the top of the injector, take one wire and ground it to the body of the car, and another form the battery, to the other post on the injector, if you do not hear a pulsing sound coming from the injector it is bad, if you do, then you have a wiring problem.

SOURCE: 2002 chevy impala has loss of power. will not go

I would look into the catalytic converter too. I just went through this same symptoms. The engine will sputter and run rough. Drive a few miles at night and see if the front exhaust pipe, right behind the radiator, is glowing. That keyed me in. There is a special service to fix certain models for 01 and 02 which is sort of a recall but not exactly. The dealer just fixed it for free. The chevy customer service number is 1-800-630-2438, they can check and see if you Vin number is on the recall. Your local dealer may not know about it so call the number first and make sure you have the Vin, at least the last 8 of it, when you call.

My 2004 Chevy Impala keep cutting off when I give it a little gas or it hit 2 changing gears it will cut off

The hesitation may be caused by a dirty throttle body. Have the throttle body cleaned. Also checking the fuel pressure checked might eliminate a fuel pump problem.

2002 impala 3.8L 180,000kms. Having problems with car hesitating on acceleration(not all the time). Had maf sensor & idle air control sensor replaced recently. Fuel filter, air filter,new plugs &...

it is possibly the throttle position sensor(tps) malfunctioning. basically the computer or "brain" of the car thinks the throttle is in a different position than it really is and automatically makes adjustments to fuel, air ect.... based on these false readings from the sensor thus causing the engine to react a little different when you expect to have power.

What does a major tune up for a 2004 chevy impala consist of? What should be done and needs to be done?

New spark plugs, oil and oil filter, transmission flush and fill, fuel filter, air filter, coolant flush and fill, clean throttle body plate and bore, clean the MAF sensor, replace any loose or cracked vacuum lines, PCV valve, new air filter, new battery.

99% of the time all you should ever need for a tune up is new spark plugs, and a clean air filter and throttle body. But since your inquiry indicated "major" I gave it more critical thought.

2000 Chevy Blazer Cranks but wont start...

What about the fuel filter????? Have you changed it out??? If you can spary something like a started fluid, that means it is a fuel problem. My last check, it has to be above 50-psi on the fuel pressure to make it run right. I had 35psi, but whould not get over 30mph or down hill maybe 45mph. Check both filter & pressure, but check pressure with a New fule filter!!!!
