1995 Chevy Blazer Engine Frozen

One month ago I had the spider injector and upper plenum gasket replaced on my Chevy. It still never worked right after the repair. Highly noticeable vibration when stopped. I called shop and they never returned calls. One week ago as I was driving to work, billowing white smoke was emitting from the tailpipe. I was close to work and parked. When I went to drive at end of day, it would not start. I had it towed AAA to another repair shop. They said the engine had frozen up. Blazer had no loss of oil. It has 150,000 mile on it. Is it possible or not possible engine failure due to repair that had been done? Thanks for your replies!

The engine head gasket failed, this should not be a total engine seizure.

    The coolant may have fill the engine cylinder with coolant causing a hydro lock. Water will not compress.

IT IS NOT GOING INTO NEUTRAL. IT HAS LOST THE DIRECT DRIVE CLUTCH PACK INTERNALLY. SOUNDS LIKE IT IS HIGH MILEAGE. IF SO AND YOU CHANGE THE FLUID IT CLEANS UP ALL THE VARNISH IN THE TRANNY AND THE END RESULT IS TRANNY MALFUNCTIONS DEPENDING ON WHAT KIND OF CARE IT HAS HAD IN THE PAST.

SOURCE: '96 Chevy Tahoe won't start

i had similar problem. hard to start in morning but once started, would start everytime until next morning. i changed fuel pump, filter, fuel pressure regulator, coil, cap, rotor, pickup coil, battery. i was finally told the '96 had a recall on the fuel injection assemby. i changed that out with the new mpf system and it solved the problem. runs like a striped ape. hope this helps.

1999 Chevy blazer. Changed fuel pump, wont stay running.engine revs up and down, if I try to push in the gas pedal to see if it will clear up, it bogsdown and dies. Could this be the fuel pressure...

Yes sounds like a regulator issue. On the 99 blazer the regulator is under the plastic intake plenum and is a part of the fuel injection spider. I would also check for vacuum leaks and your idle air solenoid.

1995 4.3 cpi floods at idle

These had a very common problem with the injector assembly inside the intake manifold. They develop leaks around the seals at the base of the injector spider. You can remove the plenum tuning device at the top of the manifold and look in with a flashlight and see how one side of the intake is washed and wet with fuel to confirm this. To fix the problem you'll need to buy a new injector assembly and gaskets for the upper intake assembly as it has to be removed to get at the injectors.f7b3d8e.jpg

When i take the intake plenum off, there is fuel sitting in the left hand side(fuel press regulator side) 1995 chevy blazer. the fuel injection got replaced last summer and i replaced the regulator a month...

Wow, that's interesting, I'm trying to think how you could be getting gas in the oil. I'm guessing the gas on top of the motor is coming from a leaking O-ring. You maybe have a nick or tear in one of the O-rings in that area. It might only leak at certain temperatures with things expanding and contracting. Try wiggling some of the lines and fuel pressure regulator to see if you can make the leak a little more obvious. As far as gas in the oil the only thing that I can think of is leaky injector and the gas running down past the piston rings. I guess it could leak down past the intake manifold into the lifter valley but, I find that hard to believe. Good luck with that one, have a Happy New Year!!!

Know if my 95 chevy blazer has a spider CPI?

A spider injector is located underneath the intake plenum and this is multi-port. Otherwise you have a throttle body injector system. Vortec engines have spider injectors and they are super expensive to replace ($400.00- 850.00) each ! There is only one spider injector for each engine it has 6 legs/fuel tubes that go to each cylinder.

Replacing the o rings on a 95 chevy s10 2.2

The Injectors are right there in opening of the throttle body. There are not individual injectors for each cylinder.
There 2 or 4 injectors that spray the gas right on top the throttle plate. The entire manifold is filled with the gas/air mixture.

I have a 93 chevy s-10 blazer with a 4.3 vortec and it acts like its stuck in flood mode. i replaced the fuel pressure regulator and its still flooding . i think it might be the spider, but there expensive...

When you replaced the pressure regulator under the upper plenum did you notice any fuel puddling in the lower intake? I have had numerous occasions when the plastic fuel lines inside the plenum that attach to the spider were cracked.You can pressureize the fuel system with the upper plenum off and look for leaks also lift all the nozzles out of the holes and watch to see if they are dripping this a very common problem.

The vortec motor has been known for the so caller spider assembly which is the fuel injection set up inside the intake manifold going bad.The regulator starts leaking wich puts extra fuel into the motor.If that is it you should change the whole assembly.
