What 1994 Chevrolet Blazer owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Stalls about every half a mile. Going on about 1 1/2 weeks. Done quite a bit of research turning up many complaints about fuel pumps and egr valves. I don't have money for rebuilding my engine so I'd like to find out if there has been confirmed answer as to why these blazers are stalling.
Egr valve makes car surge and die almost every year and we have to pay several hundred to change it out each time. ($50+ just to get the car checked by them so they can tell me its a code 32-bad egr then 2-3 hundred for part and labor). Of course I stopped using the dealerships and went to a small business mechanic and cut $100 off that. The other problem is the fuel pump has given out twice but my son has fixed it each time for me.
Nar 06/19/2003. *mr the consumers vehicle was recently in a near collision which required emergency brake application, as a result of the emergency braking, the brake system no longer functioned properly and the engine idle had become very rough. *cb
While driving vehicle shook hard. Consumer would have to depress the brakes with both feet to stop vehicle. Also, vehicle would stall. Dealer has been contacted and cleaned egr valve,but problem returned.
Consumer stated the fuel injectors have been replaced three times,and fuel pump has failed four times.
Consumer received recall 99v193 and took vehicle to dealer for repairs, within days of repair work the ABS light illuminated, dealer replaced the ebcm module, the ABS light illuminated again and dealer replaced the ebcm module again, the ebcm module was replaced 6 times and finally the dealer stated that the ehcu valve assembly needed replaced, but this would not be covered under the recall, consumer is angry due to these problems did not occur until after the recall work was completed.
Replaced spider injector once, replaced egr valve 4 times, replaced both exhaust manifolds. The service rep told me the egr valve replacement is a very common problem. I checked with a dealer and apparently there is no recall on the spider injector nor egr valves which to me is a very dangerous situation when driving and the motor starts surging and dying.
Engine failed due to a faulty regulator on newly installed cpi, which leaked fuel into the engine and presence of silicon in the engine from installation of gaskets, oil change not performed on vehicle when new fuel injection/cpi and gaskets were replaced, this allowed fuel, debris, etc to contaminate the engine, engine replacement compeleted 1/26/01.

Hard to start,boggs out and kills also bad foul odor from exhaust(told it is running rich).rough idel in park.
