1992 Chevrolet K1500 - Page 3 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Remove the battery cable & see if it will relearn the shift points I doubt a 1992 even has that capability,you may have a failed trans

does it happen if the injectors are unplugged ? could be a problem with the gasket or seal for the injector.

Sounds like a battery connection,try this ,turn the headlights on,have someone watch or whatever,try to start it,if the lights go out,it's a poor connection(probably at the battery) if they stay on,it's a starter issue.

This may sound silly but I had the same problem with my own truck but try and change your t.p.s.Thats what I did and it worked

check coil and distributor for output

check your crankcase breather .may need cleaned.so have back pressure.

Low of fluid, or bad transmisison. If not low on fluid, replace or have transmision rebuilt.

Classic example of a clogged fuel filter, which is located between tank and engine on framerail. If this don't fix it, your truck probably has a weak fuel pump, which would need to be replaced. The pump is in the tank. HEADS UP = easier to remove the bed and access the tank that way as it only has 4 bolts to remove it. Lowering the tank would be much more difficult. Your welcome in advance.

Recommend you troubleshoot the fuel system. Start with the fuel pump fuse and relay in the engine compartment relay box.

Please see my tip at http://www.fixya.com/cars/r6022358-relay_check to check the relay and socket. If the relay is working, you can also check for voltage at the pump by removing the connector and testing it. If there is power to the pump but it isn't coming on, replace the pump. If the pump is coming on, the problem is the PCM. Let us know if you get stuck or have more questions.

you have a bad shock absorber-cheers Denny

Not the coil, wouldn't affect or be affected by the slow starter. I would double check grounds and battery, starter, and alternator connections for a clean tight connection. I would be looking at doing voltage drop tests to look for high resistance in the start circuit.You may have to get under the dash and find the source of the smoke. Sometimes the back of the fuse panel where the wiring connects in will get so hot the plastic starts to melt. Then the wires and connections go bad, and you can even have current cross feeding into another circuit-like your wipers are doing. So I would pull off the fuse box and check for that. Keep looking for something that burned. It's got to be electrical.Starter and solenoid being only 2 years old, should be good. But if starter to battery positive post has no high resistance in that connection, and battery ground is known good, and if the small (?purple?) wire to starter solenoid has battery voltage or very close to it, when checked with a voltmeter while the key was held in crank, then you might want to have the starter taken off and tested. The solenoid will be tested as well. If when you checked the small wire to solenoid with key in crank, and had much less than battery voltage, like 5 or 6 volts, then problem is in start circuit between the ignition switch and the starter solenoid. Good luck. Let us know what you find out.

If it's a 2 pieces drive shaft look for center bearing end play or exhaust system touching or bracket

this sounds like a fuel pressure problem. also make sure exhaust is clear this can be done by feeling it coming out of tail pipe also check timing

alternator cud be bad-at times they can cause this--but the cluster is common to go bad on older cars--lights and sounds next--usually you take it out and send it to be redone

If you have a weak battery it may not be turning over fast enough to start. Or you key switch might be broken causing ht RUN connection to not connect when the key is in the Start position. When you turn the key to run it sends current to engine to keep it running. Whenyou turn it all the wya to start it

Could be crankshaft sensor.

I have a 1992 chevy k1500 blazer. The high beams will not come on but the low beam will. Whats wrong or how do i fix it?

Check drive shaft assembly for worn u-joints.if OK check for worn pinion bearings or loose pinion nut.This can all be check shaking drive shaft at each end and looking for slop in u-joints or pinion flange.

You need to run a fault code test, you can learn how to do that at this LINK.

Your catalytic converter might be clogged. Take it to an axhaust shop and have them test the amount of pressure before and after the cat. I guess you could cut off the converter and see how it does, but you better get it welded back on before someone calls the police on you!
