Wow lol, took you 10 minutes to say MAP sensor bad...just like a woman.

How the f did u get the time cover off without pulling the engine. I have rtv gaskst thats holding my timing chain on. I loosened up the first few bolts on the oil pan but its stuck fast. What if i use flatheads to pry the oil pan slightly?

My condolences to you OIG, passings are never easy. Hang in there as you have and keep on trucking.

Hang in there IG, you and I sing the same song. So much to do and want to do, and not enough time. Be retired and have more time and not as much mulah, ummm. Just keep plugging away at it. I heard you speak of three vehicles, I am up to 4. Last one is just to get around, 91 S10. 3\4 needs a injector pump. Project S10, needs finishing, Red 98 S10 at a shop to get the 2.2 Diesel running. So one day we will get it where we want. Love your candid approach to your projects. See you on the next video.

I just bought a 1991 S10 with the 2.8l . Wouldn't start, but would run good for 2-3 seconds on starting fluid. So fire is good, fuel delivery Not good. Ended up finding no power to fuel pump. No Oil Pressure switch on Oil filter housing. Wires to it totally missing. Ran a switch wire off of fuse box to pump. Had power and still no fuel. Took out fuel pump. Hose between pump and hard fuel pipe Desenegrated. Bought a new fuel pump. Got it started, yeah. Tuneup next day, Plugs, wires, cap, rotor and Coil. Helped but not perfect enough. Have two new injectors coming in today. We will see. Iron girl , just replace remaining items, if everything else is changed out. Trucks this old need new parts. Cheaper than bringing it in. But sometimes, it is best, so you do not go nuts over it.

Have you swapped out the ignition switch ?

Nice little engine , getting caught up on some of your vids , hope to see it at coolspring next year👍

Thanks for sharing looks like a nice little show , have a great day

If that doesnt work. Take off the secondary exhaust flange bolts following both exhaust pipes and remove the cylinder head, exhaust manifold, and portion of exhaust pipe and remove bolts and the nuts with way more clearence. Im working on a 1990 isuzu trooper with a 2.8 same setup as yours. Penny for your thoughts

I have to get in my dash on my '86. Im getting nothing from the control switches for my heat and air. And the factory radio kicks in every now and then.

Do you know where i can find a rebuild guide? My uncle has an 88 s10 durango he wants to sell me but i wanna rebuild the engine & tranny 1st. Any advice would be helpful!

that would be the icm acting up

Someone stated on another video that the Ignition Control Module or ICM that you changed in the distributer were 1 of 2 things that everyone should keep a spare in their glovebox at all times. I can't remember what the other thing was though. I have a 1991 GMC C2500 and will be changing mine next as it has a very low idle on start up and stalls at every stop sign. It also has loss of power and I could only get it up to 46 mph but I think that problem is the catalytic converter is clogged. Once they start to fail the pieces inside start to crumble and can block airflow. It did get all my power back and idle smooth the other day for no reason though. So now I am looking for something that changes from good to bad to good again and the catalytic converter is one of them. Hit a bump and the broken parts on the inside jostle around giving you temporary good airflow again.

I’m working on a 87 S-10 blazer trying to figure out the vacuum wire diagram does have four-wheel-drive. Any ideas?

What size was that bolt on the exhaust flange?

The new head and headers look nice. My son just found me a carbureted intake and V belt pulleys for my 2.8, I'm all giddy inside.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD can you post a video showing where the MAP sensor HOSE leads to i have the same engine and cant find anything on it

Headers are always a great upgrade. Just remember to wear gloves when you wrap the headers, my soul looks like a porcupine from all the headers I've done.

❤im doing the same job and you do great 🎉I wish I had your help with my 2004 ❤

I'm glad to see you back. Lol love your videos.

I’m redoing my 88 S-10 currently.(also red) It also has the 2.8. Right now if trying to figure out how to out the steering column back together… after tearing it down to tighten the steering bolts. I love these old trucks. They are amazingly simple to work on. Thanks for the video.

i love it. i love S10s, especially the 1st gens. my buddy still has a 1st gen with a 2.8, i have a 2nd gen with a 4.3. great little trucks

Let it be running I'm sure it's your Cadillac converter and it two oxygen sensors should fix the no power

I was there Friday was Hot I just stay couple hours didn’t take nothing had pick up a Maytag and parts from Donnie the guy with the famous always like this little show but the first location was the best ,but there all nice ,glad there keeping it going

Nice little show , thx for the vid , have a great day

I just picked up a 2 hp with the magneto in a box. Thanks for the demonstration of the timing, reading it and seeing how it’s done are two different things… appreciate your video

I do love how Associated's run. Great engine!

Great you made it, what a great show with perfect weather for the most part !!

Awesome show , nice to meet you as well , hope you enjoyed the show as much as we did👍

We're did you find a replacement tube?

I have the same problem I remplace the intake gaskets and bum is liking coolant in the starter

Hi You r my Hero. I have the same truck with all the same issues, all the way down to the rattling leaf, but mine was a cheese wrapper. Almost wrecked thought a Rattlesnake had loaded up. You have helped me tremendously but I started with the part under rotor bug . It ran good but the first bump I hit it would start missing and eventually die, that was a few months ago, so here we are again. Just wanted to say thanks. John Punneo

Thanks for sharing,I didn’t make it there cuz I worked I figured it was a wash out any usually stop then go sugarcreek for garden tractor show

History being preserved . Love this stuff. Just knowing engines like this powered all types of equipment on the farm.

Nice day for a swap meet 🤠

Awesome! Wish I could have been there. Music to my ears. Thanks for the video

I really enjoyed your work in “The Connors”, sorry about its cancellation.

Great video and it was a great show, as usual. I was there with engines and a tractor. I will be there in 2024 with a few engines and my newly restored Rumely 15-25 L.

So the rotor cap was the problem i have a 1986 2.8 doing the same thing

Great video. I might make the 12 hr drive to the show next month. I’ve never been.

Hello OldIronGirl, the spirit of Portland is a wonderful thing, you are so awesome to be continuing on without your Father. I hope to attend again soon. Thank you for going this video, liked and subscribed!

Can you send me a close up pic of the vacuum hook up s around the throttle body , I had my 2*8 worked on and I do believe the mech hooked two up wrong , I have issues with slowing down and motor is quitting

where did u hide the light source may i ask

Get rid of the smog stuff, you don't need it. My s 10 doesn't miss it.

Great job again. No need for pneumatic tools, slowing remove those important bolts. You are awesome 👌

I wish i had a wife like you. You are rare, great job.
