Alright here goes: Bought the truck about three weeks ago, drove 2h45 the night of purchase - never went above 58mph, temp gauge never rose above 140F. I've driven the truck a good few times about ten miles one way and the temp never rose above 140F. Yesterday I took the truck on an hour long...

2003 4.3 vortec Misfire issues Not bad at idle worse around 1000-1200rpm then smooths out some from there up. I just want to know where to start with fixing it.

I have a 2001 s10 4.3 v6 around 91k miles. Engine light came on and I’ve noticed a loss of power and rough idle. Took to autozone and code reads misfire cyl 1. I started with replacing spark plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor, air filter and fuel filter...runs a little better but still have...

So after 350K+ miles on my 93 S-10 the old 4.3 bent a valve and is running like crap. I have a 99 blazer that was rolled a few years back that I planned on pulling the 4.3 out to slap into the pickup. I already have a new Edelbrock 2114 intake manifold and a TBI adapter plate. Also I am building...
