Top 10 1993 Chevrolet K1500 Questions & Answers

http://www.the12volt.com/

usually these are under the hood it is a small black or green box

Disconnect the negative cable from the battery..
Under the front end - find the starter near where the trani connects to the motor and the really big gear (flywheel) is..
Undo 2 bolts to remove the starter.. take the wires off and be sure to put the wires on the starter the same way..
Connect the wires to the new starter and put the starter in with the to bolts.. The starter will only go in one way so you cant mess up how it goes in..

Good luck !

Hello Matt.
Basic tool needed is a timing light.
Find the timing mark on the harmonic balancer and put a dab of whiteout on it to see it better with the light. Also clean off the timing mark tab on the timing cover so you can see the "0".
0 is where the specification is but I usually go to 3 or 4 as it seems to work a little better there.

Loosen the bolt under the distributor that holds down a clamp that retains it. Snug it enough again so it doesn't turn. I ask you to do this before you warm up the engine because if it is difficult to loosen you don't want to be doing this when the engine is hot.

Warm the engine up now as it may stall when disconnecting the computed timing if you don't.
Hook up the timing light inductor to #1 cylinder ignition wire (on the left front of the engine, on the right if you are looking in from the front) and the power supply to it on the battery.

Find the computed timing disconnect. Disconnect this set timing connector (tan/black wire) located in center of cowl, under battery junction block cover after you get it running. (this will turn on your check engine light. it will go out after you reconnect and shut the engine off)
Aim the light at the timing marks. Rotate the distributor until you get it lined up. tighten the distributor and recheck.
Reconnect the timing connector. There you go.
Thank you for using FixYa.

I'm assuming your vehicle is a:
1993 K1500 8-cylinder, Vin "K" 5.7L TBI (91% of 1993 K1500 1/2-ton P/U 4WD sold)

For 1988-93 models, refer to the wiring diagrams for fuse application and amperage ratings.
Fuses protect all the major electrical systems in the car. In case of an electrical overload, the fuse melts, breaking the circuit and stopping the flow of electricity.
The fuse block on most models covered by this section is located under the instrument panel to the left of the steering column. The fuse block should be visible from underneath the steering column, near the pedal bracket.




This photo shows removal of 1991 K1500 dashboard panel covering fuse block.

Fig. Fig. 1: Some models may use an underhood fuse/relay panel
If the panel is not visible, check for a removable compartment door or trim panel which may used on later models to hide the block. This panel is usually located on the left end of the instrument panel.
The convenience center is located just below the instrument panel on the drivers side. It contains individual relays such as the seat belt and ignition key alarm, and flasher.
On newer model vehicles there is an underhood fuse/relay center contains both mini and maxi fuses, as well as some relays.
If a fuse blows, the cause should be investigated and corrected before the installation of a new fuse. This, however, is easier to say than to do. Because each fuse protects a limited number of components, your job is narrowed down somewhat. Begin your investigation by looking for obvious fraying, loose connections, breaks in insulation, etc. Use the techniques outlined at the beginning of this section. Electrical problems are almost always a real headache to solve, but if you are patient and persistent, and approach the problem logically (that is, don't start replacing electrical components randomly), you will eventually find the solution.
Each fuse block uses miniature fuses (normally plug-in blade terminal-type for these vehicles) which are designed for increased circuit protection and greater reliability. The compact plug-in or blade terminal design allows for fingertip removal and replacement.
Although most fuses are interchangeable in size, the amperage values are not. Should you install a fuse with too high a value, damaging current could be allowed to destroy the component you were attempting to protect by using a fuse in the first place. The plug-in type fuses have a volt number molded on them and are color coded for easy identification. Be sure to only replace a fuse with the proper amperage rated substitute.

Hello tarow50,

Below are the diagrams for your truck.

The transmission needs replacement or to be rebuilt.

Should be another sensor on other side of engine practice unplugging that one to see why this one is difficult then gotta get header tube off fitting or move fitting position so it clears I would imagine it worked out before if not things may get tougher but fixable I won't advise it but a good pinch bar and wedge would be an option start engine get headers cherry red and work quickly gotta be brave and crazy with care it's an extreme that most should pass on for all the things that could go wrong I'm guessing you better not go there new headders are pretty cheap.

Do you mean start the car in drive? if so that problem is inhibitor switch. Other shift problems can be caused by TPS (throttle posistion sensor) if applicable

The sensor is located on the front of the truck. To find it, crawl under the truck to see the crankshaft sensor behind the harmonic balancer on the passenger side under the timing chain cover.
