1997 Chevrolet Blazer review from North America
"It's comfortable and rides nice, just doesn't always run right"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought it 2.5 years ago, and had no issues for the first 20 months.
Last October I had the check engine light go on, and the code read a small evap system leak. The mechanic's shop couldn't find the leak even with a smoke machine. Now, it is also reading a random cylinder misfire as well as the the small evap system leak. The mechanic said he is sure he can fix it, but the testing alone (to find the problem) could take quite a while, and at $75 per hour, I don't know if it's worth fixing. It still runs alright, just rough once in a while.
Anyone have any suggestions?
