Where is the intake valve located on a 1988 GMC Jimmy Blazer - I dont even know what one looks like - sorry some girls just dont know that much about cars/truck - but I am trying to learn.

  • melanie31421 May 01, 2009

    my 1988 Jimmy truck is stalling when I stop - I read that I needed to remove the air intake hose 2 the engine and spray a can of intake cleaner the intake while keeping the engine running - But I dont know where all of that is. I know I can do it if I just knew where the intake was and where the hoses are.

    Okay spraying the intake cleaner into the intake did not help for my 88 GMC Jimmy Blazer. Does anyone have anything else I could try to fix this stalling when I stop. It runs fine on the expressway - but come to a stop sign and it wants to quit on me.

There is more than one intake valve on your engine. 6 cylinders have 6 intake valves and 8 cylinders have 8 valves. They are located inside the engine and allow the air-fuel mixture to enter the cylinder. Why are you looking for it?

    Sraying intake cleaner into the air filter tubing leading to the engine may not fix your problem. Sometimes dirt can build up and spraying can help. Do this with the air filter removed and engine running. Hope this helps you.Moe

    When this problem shows up do you have a "check engine" light come on ? If so, then the code could put you in the right direction. Let me know what happens.

The intake valves are deep inside the engine, it is part of what is called a cylinder head, there is one valve (some engines have 2) for each cylinder of the engine, a V6 has 6, a V8 has 8, what is the problem?

2000 gmc jimmy wont start fuel pump comes on and cuts off but will not start.I have changed the fuel filter and that did not work. Is the pump not building the pressure it needs to start or would my...

the fuel pressure if leaking could cause this the regulator is located under the intake plenum but you should smell gas .if you dont then most likely the pump is bad ,the pump will come on for 2 seconds when the key is on then go off it will not stay on with just the key on only when you crank it will it .so have your fuel pressure checked with a gauge.
