1992 Chevrolet S-10 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Question heavily edited for clarity and typos. Question moved from Smart for Two, to Chevy S10. This could be a job that goes like a dream, or it could be a 2 week snagging job to get it to run right, or even run at all. They are both 4.3 and fuel injected so that's good. You will need the ECM from the vehicle the engine came from, and it may need reprogramming. https://www.google.com/search?q=tbi+4.3+engine+to+gen+3+conversion ..

More then likely the Ignition module inside the distributor is bad . Videos on youtube on testing

Look carefully and you should be able to tell.If you can see that the pan can slide out of the way, you should be good to go.

Do you mean the small handle tips on the levers are preventing you from removing the plate? Normally, those tips should just pull off, then the plate can slide off over the levers.

should be in the glove box, or under the driver side dash. May need to remove under dash cover.

not common

https://s1.postimg.org/89tia75ozz/turn_signal.jpg Click on the link. This is for turn signals. Get at the turn signal switch. See the purple wire, L terminal on top of turn signal switch in diagram, that should go hot with key on, use jumper wire from that terminal to one of the wires on bottom of turn signal switch in diagram, those are, front/rear, left/right turn signals. If the turns signals work properly with the jumper, but, other wise don't, the problem should be the turn signal switch. If it still doesn't work properly, you would have to check wiring circuits. Sometimes a faulty ground can cause weird problems. Sometimes the bulb doesn't make good contact in the bulb socket? Try putting a little pressure on the bulb in the bulb socket, see if it starts working?

Make sure the battery has a full charge. What is liter size of engine? If you have throttle body injection/tbi can you see fuel injector pulse, both fuel injectors, if you have two. The fuel pressure for tbi is around 9--13 psi, it wouldn't hurt to use a gage and check fuel pressure. Engine cranking, you have spark at the plugs and fuel injector pulse? How long since a tune-up? Any applicable trouble codes? Your obd1, you should be able to check some codes, yourself, if the check engine lite still works.

Have a look at the fuel pressure regulator.

Sorry but I would need to see what is going on to help you with this.

You have a short in the wiring somewhere. Gonna have to do some wire following.

Where is the engine, or where is the manual transmission?

Usually the IAC motor or the ECT. Could be the injectors are stuck/gummed up and open.
