My newest pile.
Runs good, put in reverse it dies. Dealer says needs a tranny/torque converter.

I'm still researching it.

Vacuum leak, fuel pressure regulator or IAC. Both Blazers I had would drop the idle low in reverse, if all the ignition components aren't up to par it will stall.

A general tune up may help also.
 
BTW, 100% VA disability is around $3000 per month. (If he is rated 100%)

Always depends on the number of dependents. I'll get paid more for my disability rating than someone with the same rating who doesn't have kids or a wife.

Those numbers are public information. And just because it's non-taxable income doesn't mean it's not income.

Checked fuel pressure, it's good. It's a pretty violent stall like the torque converter isn't unlocking. There's a solenoid that can be tested...in the valve body...messing around in the snow yesterday unless I was on the gas and off the brake it would die going into reverse.

May put it on jack stands and see if it dies in reverse with no load on it.

Got my nitro truck out to prep for winterfest. Think the motors stuck. Maybe I'll just buy a new electric.

it will be fine. I unstuck a $25 garage sale Tmaxx and it runs fine.

pull the plug and fill the cylinder with wd40. Pull the carb and fill the crank up with wd40.

let it sit. It's probably not locked up mechanically, but had some fuel and stuff in it and it just turns to nasty gummy varnish. WD40 seems to eat it up pretty well, and it will burn off when you start it.

A crock pot full of antifreeze does wonders to clean them up. It will come out after 8 hours on hi looking like a brand new motor.
not wife approved.
 
Somehow I stumbled upon watching Californication. Started last week, now about done with 3rd season....this is when insomnia and binge watching are a good pair.
 
If I have to answer the phone one more time tonight and the caller wants to know if the store is open I'm gonna lose my shit.
