in the middle of the seat cushions in the back of the seat there is a little loop, pull that loop forward and that will have the seat's bottom pulled down to the floor agains the back of the front seats. Next simply apply a lil muscle to the back of the back seats and the seats should fold down nicely into the open space. Be sure to remove the headrests so the seat will fold all the way down. post any issues u may have.

The term "spider injectors" stems from the Vortec Series Engine's fuel injection system. Unlike fuel injectors that are installed individually commonly used in engines, this one piece molded plastic web body which all 6 or 8 injectors are permantly attached(94-96), when looked at resembles a look of a spider. est. cost $350-$450. In 97 on up, GM changed from the fixed injector (If one injector goes bad you need to change the whole or all injectors) to being able to individually change each injector. est cost $50-$150 ea.

A/C Blows out at feet or through defroster, not through dash

When I turn on the A/C in my 95' Tahoe, the air does not blow through the dash vents, only through the floor and defrost vents. If I turn the A/C off and only use the blowers, the air will come through the dash vents. Any ideas?

First check power to the coil. Pull the connector off and probe the connector terminal from the pink wire with a 12 volt test light. Connect the test light clip to a ground point/bolt on the engine. The test light should come on when the ignition switch is on. If not, suspect the ECM-1 fuse is bad or the ignition switch is bad.
If there is power to the coil, next test the coil. Run a jumper from the battery positive terminal to the pink terminal on the coil itself. Pull the coil wire off the distributor and place the wire close (within 1/4 inch) to a ground point on the engine. Then, briefly touch a jumper from the black/white coil terminal to engine ground. The coil should release a spark. If not, replace the coil.
If the coil is good, suspect the crankshaft position sensor is bad or loose. I'm assuming your engine light is off, but the sensor can fail without setting the engine light. If the engine light is on, see if you can get a scan to see if a crankshaft sensor trouble code is set.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

If you have opened the doors to obtain your locked up keys you do not need to use some other key to try and start the vehicle do you. The wrong key is not going to start the vehicle.
