Known Issues for This Vehicle
Brake fluid leaks
Hydraulic brake systems can develop leaks in the brake lines, master cylinder, or calipers, leading to decreased braking efficiency.
Worn brake pads
Over time, brake pads wear out and need replacement to maintain effective braking performance.
Brake caliper issues
Calipers can become stuck or fail, affecting the application of the brake pads to the rotors.
Warped brake rotors
Excessive heat or wear can cause the brake rotors to warp, leading to vibrations or pulsations during braking.
Cylinder misfires
V-shaped engines, like the V6 in the 1998 Chevrolet Blazer, can experience misfires due to faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors.
Timing chain/belt issues
The V6 engine may encounter problems with the timing chain or belt, leading to poor engine performance or even engine failure.
Intake manifold gasket failure
The CPI (Central Port Injection) system in this engine may suffer from intake manifold gasket failures, leading to coolant leaks or vacuum leaks.
Oil leaks
Common in older engines, oil leaks can develop around valve covers, oil pan gaskets, or the front and rear main seals.
Cooling system problems
Radiator, water pump, or thermostat failures can lead to engine overheating.
Fuel pump failure
The fuel pump may fail, causing starting issues or engine stalling.
Egr valve issues
The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve can become clogged or fail, impacting engine performance and emissions.
Mass air flow (maf) sensor failure
A faulty MAF sensor can lead to incorrect air-fuel mixture readings, causing poor engine performance and reduced fuel efficiency.
