1997 Chevrolet Tahoe - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

I just had mine done in the same location. I sent it to the shop. The fuel tank had to be dropped, plus they found out that the abs pump wouldn't allow fluid back. I had some other work done ...$860 later it back home with me.

Must bleed air from brake lines. Done so with help of a friend to pump brake pedal a few times and hold while you loosen and immediately retighten the bleeder screw located right where the line enters drum on the back. Use care, as fluid will start to drain out as air is eliminated in line. Do this repeated times. When only fluid escapes you are finished!

You are probably going to need an auto electrician with a pro grade scan tool computer to diagnose what is wrong. The first video may help. https://www.google.com/search?q=mobile+auto+electrician+near+me

Only two reasons for this first is its below 0 outside the next is blown head gasket. Now thats WHITE smoke.ONLY.If it smells sweet like anti freeze that confirms head problem. black smoke is fuel, blue smoke is oil. sorry hope this helps TIM

Not 100% sure if this will help but go here and see... if you already haven't. https://www.etrailer.com/question-186418.html Best of luck.

You have a wiring issue. Look for melted or cracking insulation all around the engine harness and on the the pcm.

Rather then guessing an just replacing parts ,having a qualified repair shop hook up a professional scan tool an view engine management system data . This would be the best thing to do .

https://s26.postimg.org/j6u1vxn61/ignition.jpg Click on the link. I don't know what testing you've done? How long since a tune-up? Any applicable trouble codes? To check codes yourself, at the least, you need an obd2 code reader. In the diagram, see the pink wire at ignition coil, that is primary voltage to coil, with key on, use a test lite and see if there is voltage? If no voltage, that circuit is fuse protected, I believe ecm 1 fuse, under hood fuse block. You need to do some testing and tell us what you find?

check wire connections where work was performed.

The first thing that needs to be done here is to have the engine control module scanned for fault codes, based on the results then move on.

White smoke coming from the exhaust system is a sign of an oil system problem. If you did not have this issue and no other signs of an oil system problem, I would agree that the sending unit may be the only issue and needed to be changed. However, since you have been told that smoke is coming out of the exhaust and the car is acting up under load (going up a hill) it is time to take action and make sure your oil pump gets checked ASAP. Before you dive in you may want to check the oil on the dipstick to see if it looks/feels thin or watery. If that is the case, you may have other issues like water in the oil system from a bad head gasket - water looks like bubbles on the dipstick. If oil of the wrong type was used, the problem may be that the oil is too thin to work properly and needs to be replaced. If the oil looks fine and feels like its got the right consistency, the problem may just be with the oil pump. You didn't mention it but have you noticed the vehicle running hotter than normal? If so, this is another clue that the oil pump may be failing. Whether the oil itself appears to have issues or not, you still need to have the pump checked. .

Does the starter make any sounds when you hit the key and it doesn't start? If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/david_4c166ba81493f541

Hello Alexsandra, When you first start off your engine is going from idle to requiring more fuel and air to provide the power needed to get you going. The first place to start would be to check for a flashing instrument panel check engine light or as it is sometimes referred to a SES light (Service Engine Soon) and having your vehicles computer checked for stored fault codes.

Assumming the compressor is the problem - You will need to capture the current gas and recharge the system after replacement - you will need to take it to an air-conditioning specialist first to have this done.

Could be your Body Control Module (BCM) has gone bonkers. GM geniuses decided their vehicles needed more computers on board. Most of your dash and interior switches and controls are routed through the BCM, a small mini-computer. Later models require reprogramming of these modules to the main computer. Not sure about your '97, you better check. Lights, wipers, turns-they all go to the BCM, before the wires go to the actual motors or bulbs. Not friendly territory for DIY'ers.
