1995 Chevrolet Blazer LS review from Norway
"Nice looking SUV, but has old technology and plastic feel"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had big problems with the vehicle stalling, brake power loss, rough idle and so on.
The problem was the EGR valve.
This is a well known problem on this engine. (4.3 liter)
A mechanic took it apart an cleaned it.
He also mounted a Tomco Kleen Screen Gasket. This is really just a regular gasket, but with a metal mesh that keeps the biggest carbon particles out of the EGR valve.
Has been running perfect since we did this.
General comments?
Also remember to give your front ball joints some grease every 6000 km. There are about 12 grease nipples there. THIS IS IMPORTANT! If you do this, you will save a lot of money.
