1996 GMC Sierra - Page 5 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

on the side of the engine block just above the lip of the oil pan. you must take out the trans bolt that secures it first. it should come right out after that.

You cannot adjust ignition timing on the 5.7 liter V8 vortec engine. This system uses the distributor as a camshaft position sensor. You can loosen the distributor and rotate it, but it adjusts something called Camshaft Retard Offset. This can only be checked and adjusted using a scan tool that can read the cam retard offset parameter. Otherwise, you\'re flying blind. If you have a scan tool that can read it, the retard offset should be set to 0 degrees with the engine fully warmed up and running at 1000 rpm. If you cannot adjust it to 0 degrees, the distributor may be off a tooth or two, and will need to be correctly re-timed to the engine.

sounds like there is still an air pocket in the brake lines somewhere or the abs box is bad which will cause that too

There is an oval slot at the rear of the brake backing plate, there is a star wheel adjuster inside, turn the start to back off brake shoes,

CHECK STARTER MAY HAVE WATER TRAPED WHERE WIRE MEETS STARTER

more than likely yes the resistor

Yes it could be just the plugs wires and dist cap. I'm surprised the check engine light is not on because of the missing cat. Be sure and clear the codes after you replace the ignition parts.

Try spraying some starter sray in the breather and if it cranks, but only runs on the sray you may have a fuel or glow plug problem.

Yes, they will work, the problem is that the 1995 is a 95 ONLY so the parts (Valve Body) are not Interchangable

the cpu has found sensor/s that are outside set parameters. have the fault codes read and replace found faulty sensors.

It's worn out, replace it

Try a complete unit from scrappers complete with transponder and the chip from the key

Check your Tailight fuse to see if it's blown, if so then start checking for a bad bulb(shorted element) in tailight circuit boards . and also don't forget to check grounds as well, there should be one at rear frame by left (drivers Side) tailight connection/trailer harness connection. hope this helps. do your Brake lights Work ?

If you know what you doing about 2 hours taking your time

Do a compression check (motor hot Accelerator fully depressed) If you need starter fluid to start it indicates worn motor.

Unless the linkage is rusted or broken,your pulling the trans & taking it apart

Did you use a test light to diagnois problem ? check that you have power coming to brake switch from fuse and then see if it switdches over when you apply brake. sounds like it isn't adj. right if it won't come out of Park. I will tell you this...there is a 6way plug by steering column ,follow brake sw wires up to top of column and that is where the 6 way plug is, make sure this plug is plugged in tight and square, because if not you will be chasing the problem forever..brakes run through this plug, it is easiest seen by removing lower column close out to dash and metal bolster brkt behind it to get to plug.

Has it ever been serviced? How many miles on the vehicle?

You do not have a carb
