I have an '03 S-10, 4 banger. It starts up and runs 100% of the time, except for after it has sat out all night when it's been raining. I don't believe it has a distributor cap, so is it just the plug wires? Thanks for the help.

Asked by Dcrog Sep 28, 2013 at 07:59 PM about the 2003 Chevrolet S-10 LS RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I changed the wires around 40k miles ago, but it has developed a problem starting after heavy rains, or snow around when parked outside over night. It starts up perfectly hot or cold, as long as there is no rain or snow over night.

I have a 1987 Chevy Pickup with a crate engine. I start it and it runs for about 15 -20 seconds and then shuts off. I have replace the air intake hoses, fuel lines, fuel filter. When it was turned on then started to idle low i dumped gas into it and it shut off immediately. Could it be getting too much gas? Would that mean the carb is clogged possibly? 4 Answers

My 1995 Chevy s10 is overheating once a day? I start the truck I let it idle for a min or so. Then take off. Usually about 5 mile down. It starts to over heat so I stop. Turn off key. Turn bac on. Then the temp is low enough to take off. It won't overheat at all the rest of the day. But the next morning same thing. I have replaced thermostats, thinking bad one. I have put radiator fluid in. Flushed the system. I got so mad at it. That I bought new motor. It stopped for a couple of months. Then started the same thing. 9 Answers

Its our daily vehicle. Do I need to get rid of. Cause I love that truck and dont want to part with.
