Re: 95 jimmy vortec 4.3 Rough Idle, Gas and carbon Smell, Engine shakes

Congrats. I hope I never decide to tackle something like that. My Dad is/was a GM certified mechanic for over 25 years, so I;ve had him do it all.

Re: 95 jimmy vortec 4.3 Rough Idle, Gas and carbon Smell, Engine shakes

I put my jimmy off in the river a few weeks ago and had to do numerous things to it. One of them was the plugs. The easiest way is to just put the socket on with your fingers and use a norman closed in wrench that is bent at both ends and take it off like that. Everyone surely has a set of those wrenches.

Thumbs up

Let me say something. I am very fond of this forum. I have found alot of useful information on this forum. I have been having alot of problems out of my egr valve. I just want everyone to know, I tried the 2 gasket thing with a screen in between them and it seems to be working great now. It was a stainless steel screen. I am hoping the heat wont bother it. Now I just need to change the cpi(i think) on it. I have that hesitation or miss in it that I seen on here earlier. Is it a hard job to tackle? I know the egr vavle was a pain to get off and back on. But like I said I have found this forum to be the most helpful. Thanks to everyone that posts here.

Re: 95 jimmy vortec 4.3 Rough Idle, Gas and carbon Smell, Engine shakes

Hey guys while on the subject, ever heard of the gas smell returning like a month after replacing the spider assembly, nut kit and upper intake gasket? If so what would cause this, I wouldnt think it would turn around that fast. Im clueless as to why you would have no fuel smell for awhile then suddenly its back, not my car though so I cant get more specific.
