[gmctruck]

Hey guys heh i just got my license like a week ago,,,,,my GMC 1993 2500 idles very rough....it will eventually die after 2-3 minutes! also when im driving and take my foot off the gas to park or turn it dies!...another problem is ill try to start it and it wont start, so i go and gently tap my starter with a hammer and then it fires up. We have replaced the starter 2 times? Do any of you guys no what to do? Thanks a lot. clark

Hey Clark, here's a stupid question- when was the last time it had a tuneup? If you can't remember or don't know, this will be a good intro into your truck. Buy yourself a service manual at your local AUTOZONE and have an employee find what you need. Believe me they are very helpful.

If you've had a service done soon then does your SES light come on? If so, again, go to AZ and have them read the codes then go from there.

Ok, I'll stop there for now. If you've done these then we'll talk later or someone else may be able to help you
