Fuse Link For Fuel Pump - 1994 GMC S-15

Fuseable link is coming of the battery terminal.

Open the hood of the GMC Jimmy. Check and clean both terminals.

You will need a DVM meter to do the test.

The simple way is to disconned the negative cable and ohm out each fusible link that extent from the positive connector.

You job will be a lost easier if you have a probe that can pintch though the insulation.

Otherwise you can strip a little insulation off and get the ohm reading and tape this secetion back with electrical tape.

Take your time and check all the fusible link.

If this is the first time your doing eletrical trobuleshoot then please ask someone to guide you along.

Please post the out come via the comment page. I will follow up on it later.

Auto trans will not come

There are lots of possible causes. It could be either of the following:

1. Fuse
2. Valves in the transmission
3. The engine
4. The Oil - maybe it needs oil change
5. Broken vacuum hose.

Under the car, look for a missing or broken vacuum hose. It's supposed to connect to the transmission about 2/3 the way back on the right side. This hose may have fallen off, have a hole in it, or be disconnected from the vacuum source in the engine.

Hope these info helps and have a great day!

Electric windows will not operate. fuses seem fine.

Try Taking a voltage reading with a multi amp at the switch,then check the plug at the connection end to the motor. If you have a 12 volt power supply you can check the motors to see if they work ok .

How tight should i tighten

For hydrolic lifters turn engine over until both valves on the cyl. your doing are completly closed, if rocker is tight after you do this loosen it until you can wiggle it and then tighten it down until you just can't wiggle it, and then give it another 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn more and thats it, repete this process on the rest of the cyl. and valves and you got it if you still have lifter or rocker noise after you do this find witch one it is and tighten it a little more . If it happens to be solid lifters you will need a feeler guage in thousands and know the setting for each valve, and its the same process except you use the guage between the rocker and top of valve to set the lash.

I took my truck to

excessive carbon monoxide is usually the result of very rich mixtures. Here are some causes for rich mixtures:
1. leaking fuel injector(s)
2. excessive fuel pressure at the injectors.
3. ruptured fuel pressure regulator diaphragm
4. crankcase fuel contamination (from leaking injectors)
5. plugged PCV valve or hose
6. closed loop control system incorrectly shifted rich (bad O2 sensor)
7. false input signal to ECM due to bad sensor(s).

1991 GMC Sonoma 2.5 engine replaced fuel pump, filter. and distributer cap. The truck will randomly die going down the road. After it sits for10 minutes it will restart and run completely normal

Good place to get a vacuum gauge hooked up and identify problems using that tool. Without the gauge, check your exhaust and see how much if passing through the converter. You can do this by testing the temperature of the exhaust before and after the converter making sure the converter/exhaust isn't restricted. As the vehicle warms up a bad converter can cause the symptoms you are describing.

Getting code C0292 lost communication with Engine Control System any ideas on a fix! 2004 GMC Yukon Denali XL

The C0292 code in your 2004 GMC Yukon Denali XL indicates a communication issue between the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and the Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM). Here are some steps to diagnose and potentially fix the problem: Check Ground Connections: Inspect the ground connections related to the PCM and EBCM. Follow the ECM ground and ABS module ground. Check the ground on the firewall (driver's side) and the frame rail under the driver's seat. Also, verify the engine ground on the driver's side. Inspect Wiring and Connectors: Visually examine the wiring harness and connectors associated with the EBCM. Look for any signs of damage, such as broken wires or corroded pins. Ensure that the connector pins are not bent or pushed out. Pay attention to any loose or poor electrical connections. Consider the Tune: If you've recently modified the vehicle's tuning, consider reverting to a different tune. Sometimes, a specific tune can cause communication issues. If you suspect the tune, contact the tuner for further guidance1. Professional Diagnosis: If the above steps don't resolve the issue, it's advisable to seek professional help. A qualified mechanic can perform a thorough diagnosis using specialized tools. Keep in mind that diagnostic costs typically range from $75 to $150 per hour.

Where is the fuse or the relay for fuel injector 1 for a 2006 GMC envoy Denali

Fuel injectors are typically driven directly by power transistors in the engine computer. Relays are just not fast enough to provide the fine timing control needed. There might be an individual fuse for each injector soldered to the computer board, but I haven't ever looked at one for your model, and I've never seen injectors individually fused. Before chasing that, verify that the electrical resistance of the injector coil is the same as the other injectors. The typical resistance is between 100 and 1000 Ohms. If the coil resistance differs by more than 10%, replace the injector coil (it may be easier to remove the coil from a new injector and switch it with the old one than to pull the entire injector out and replace it, if not, change the injector). Shorts in the coil that lower the resistance are sometimes a problem. Also check the injector cable for continuity. An easy way is with an ohmmeter that can read at least 20 Megohms. First, check the resistance between the terminals on a good cable. You should read a very high resistance - this is the leakage through the transistor and any protective components, and is some number between 5 and 20 megohms. The exact number doesn't matter, as long as you see something and it is not a short circuit (less than 1 Ohm). This verifies that the test will work (if it reads over-range, either your probe tips can't reach the contacts in the connector, or the test is otherwise not valid). Next, repeat on injector 1. If it reads open circuit (over-range), check the injector cable (note: an open fuse will give the same result as a broken wire).

97 gmc seirra, need to adjust my speedometer. Where is the drac / vssb modules located? Thank you

It is not legal to 'adjust' speedometers. Fit the correct sized rims and tyres and the speedometer reading will be correct or use a satnav for real time speed.

1997 GMC sierra with a 5.7 L engine and four-wheel drive. I can't get spark to the plugs?

Time to get your test gear out and find out where the damage is. (Replacement 'computers', in some vehiles, don't normally work unless they have been reprogrammed with the rest of the system).

1993 GMC Sierra. It spits and sputtering when in deceleration.

Backfiring can be caused by leaking valves, (compression leak test will show this), an air leak in the inlet manifold, incorrect timing. incorrect mixture or an air leak in the exhaust manifold. Very undesirable as it can lead to engine damage.
