For drivers who give high importance on performance and quality engineering, Chevrolet really delivers. If you own a solidly constructed vehicle with a great reputation, you'll get a Chevrolet. Rugged and durable trucks including your hill-busting Chevrolet S10 were intended to cope well with all terrains wherever they're driven but they really have to have proper maintenance and rugged parts to continue challenging those high mountains. A Chevrolet S10 is durable enough to surmount any road, but requires first-rate quality OEM and aftermarket parts to go to where you're headed.
A Chevrolet S10 needs genuine OEM and aftermarket parts to take on the world with every ounce of power available. Retainer hex head screws.If an issue comes up or a system ought to be fixed, don't scrimp with a low-grade part.
Respondent that replied it was a cracked head wasĪ hoot. Hope this points you in the right direction. I first try cranking it tomorrow when I recover it. Suggested a bad connection at a distributor plugĬonnection, and I am going to check that first, after I never serviced the upper bushing grease The truck had aboutġ50k on it, and I chose to replace the distributorīecause of upper shaft bushing wear which was Placed over it, which wiped out the magnetic field it Was covered in rust from you guessed it, the cover When I pulled the distributorĪnd opened it up. Supplier of that cover did not properly plate it forĬorrosion resistance. With this distributor, someone put a shield over the Small block and the blue flame 6 cylinder.

It has been running like new, until this. Last summer I replaced the fuel pump & filter, the spider fuel injection assembly, and the heads. Since the replacement of the PCM, it shows <1v at terminal D. The first time I tested ICM terminal D, it gave a reading of >10v. These results led me to believe the PCM was at fault, so I replaced it too. There is good continuity at the white wire w/black stripe between coil and ICM. The grounds are good at the coil and ICM.
Using the Hayne's Manual Diagnostic Flow Chart, I tested for: spark at the plugs - No Spark spark at the coil wire - No Spark test the Coil - results all positive (the coil is new) Check voltage at terminals A & D of the Ignition Control Module - >10v at A, 10v going to the coil at its terminal A. The engine stopped while I was driving down the highway at 60mph. Asked by kitchenkahuna at 10:40 PM about the 1996 Chevrolet S-10 LS Extended Cab RWD
