My 1998 2.2l engine gmc sonoma is hard to start when it is warm and it also runs really rough

I have had it in to garber chevrolet had it diagnosed and found out that it had a faulty thermostat and plugs and wires even though i changed the plugs and wires bout 2 weeks before i took it here. Anyways i changed the thermostat and put new plugs in again and still doing the same thing, hesitation when accelerating. I have changed the fuel filter and a couple vaccum lines and not much of an improvement, any ideas would be greatly appreciated thanks.

Take the thermostat out and put it in a small pot and heat it on the stove top watching to see if it open when it gets hot. If it hasn't opened all the way by the time it boils its bad

Code 21 for a 92 gmc snoma

It really depends on WHICH ENGINE your GMC is equipped with. The possible engines for GMC Sonoma for the 1992 model year are:
2.5L, 2.8L, 4.3L(VIN code "W"), and 4.3L (VIN code "Z").

This is really need-to-know information if you would like help diagnosing and repairing your engine control system.

Anyway, you probably have a problem with your TP sensor or TP sensor circuits, but I am not sure without looking it up by application.

2001 GMC SONOMA overheated .. replaced radiator and water pump.. now at starting, the engine shakes a lot . after a few minutes , runs smooth ( normal) need help. any clues??

check to see if the wires are connected good to the mass air flow sensor located in the air filter hose assembly, its possible that when you replaced the water pump the connection was disconnected, making the truck run rough at start up and after warming up run a little smoother. I would also affect the acceleration going down the road.

Check for vacumn leaks ! Idle air compensator? clean throttle valve oppenings and air port opening,do you have check engine lite on,check EGR valve? Dirty fuel injectors ,bad pressure regulator?Check fuel pressure at fuel rail,at idle !

1991 gmc sonoma random loss of power

could be the crankshaft sensor causing the timing to be off if it has a coilpack type distributor or if it has a gear driven distributor then it could be either the distributor itself or possibly just cap and rotor

Temp guage barely moves and runs rough just off idle

Try a full tune up.. get Bosch platnium+4 spark plugs and Acel wires, do the fuel filter and air filter(i suggest K&N) buy some fuel injector cleaner or use Marvel Mystery oil. The ECU could e gone but hard to diagnose if the car needs a tune up.

Truck losing power and service engine soon light on

Like to other guy said, give it a tuneup. Also try SEAFOAM to clean carb up of slug. Also check to make sure the butter fly for the choke has not come loose, causing it the choke it down. Failed choke pull-off.
