I had a p0300 code which is a random misfire code after replacing all the parts that I was told that give this code I still had the problem. After doing some in depth research I found that gm had purchased defective distributor drive gears that were not hardened properly causing them to wear out. The knock sensor would pick up this wear and the computer would retard the timing and cause crossfire or a spark jump that caused the distributor cap to prematurely burn out. Gm new about this problem and never did a recall on this. I spent a lot of money on parts I didn't need if I would have known what the root cause of the problem was this. Information needs to get out to thousands of people that are chasing this p0300 code on gm vehicles. My vehicle is a 97 s10 4.3 vortec. When the computer kicks this code out the engine skips off idle and the vehicle shakes and stumbles. After replacing the distributor that had a new drive gear the vehicle runs like new again and no codes are set.

Automatic transmission cooler broke while driving and contaminated other components within the engine compartment. This made driving and gear changing difficult. Dealership will replace all contaminated components. *ak the "service engine soon" light illuminated so the consumer took the vehicle to the dealer. The consumer had the radiator flushed at 550 miles and the engine continued to run rough. On one occasion, the consumer started the engine and it lunged forward almost knocking him to the driveway. The service manager agreed that the radiator may be defective. *ph the battery was replaced, the instrument panel cluster was replaced because it had shorted out.

2002 chevrolet s-10 ls x-cab pickup manual transmission: loud knocking noise comming from transmission and shifting through gears is rough. When clutch pedal is pressed noise disappears but, when pedal is released a loud bang is heard from transmission and knocking noise returns. The rough shifting occurs mostly going into 3rd gear but also occasionally in all other gears. Brought to dealer to repair for the first time on jun 2, 2003. Technician said noise is " normal " for this type of vech. Due to a heavier duty transmission. Clutch slave unit was found leaking, causing the rough shifting...dealer replaced slave unit. On aug. 4, 2003 truck was once again brought in to dealer to inquire about knocking noise from trans and shifting problems (this time transmission wouldn't allow shifter to go into 1st gear and shifting was rough again) after getting second and third opinions from various shops, and all stating that knocking noise does not sound "normal" and a problem with shifting. Once again service tech at the dealer stated that knocking noise is normal and found no problems with shifting but may have fixed a problem, because after leaving service dept, shifting went back to normal but knocking is still there.
