This vehicle experienced a fuel injector assembly failure, causing the intake manifold to become flooded with gasoline, creating a potentialy very dangerous condition, due to the risk of fire in the engine compartment. This is not an isolated case, as I have discovered at least 6 other instances involving the same vehicle, with the same hazardous condition, right in my immediate vicinity.
This problem happened when car was not in use, after an accident.the dealership stated that this problem is common in these vehicles and they do these repairs 2 or 3 times a week.
While driving Blazer began to shake violently. When Blazer was taken to a mechanic, the mechanic found that fuel injection regulator was defective. Part was replaced at owner's expense.
Fuel pressure regulator leaks fuel into engine when engine off and idle. Must crank engine with pedal to floorboard to clear fuel for starting. Entire manifold fuel system must be replaced to correct regulator (cost of approximately $700)
Central port fuel injection unit burned out which caused fuel to leak within my engine. The problem also caused various hoses to become defective. This was a dangerous situation since leaking fuel could have sparked a fire. Understand from the a car mechanic this is the first time a vortex engine was used which could have contributed to the problem. I contacted Chevy via internet on July 8th but they were unconcerned. I feel a recall should happen with this problem, especially when I hear about the other owners of 1995 Blazer that have the same problem.
Premature failure of fuel-injection system resulted in $1,150 repair cost. Owner is familiar with other Blazer owners who have experienced similar problems with the fuel injection system. Possible lemon candidate.
This is a followup to a previously reported problem. The service lite has intermittently come on onthis vehicle since the 40K range. The egr valve, an injector and various incidental parts were replaced in November,1998 at 78000 miles during two separate service visits. The vehicle again experience identical problems in April 1999 at 84000 miles which include rough running and stalling at slow speeds and the service engine light again coming during the rough running periods. The veihcle was returned to the dealer who first replaced the sensor-ox(part #102) this did not correct the problem and 3 days latter a new egr valve had to be instaled on 4/16/99. Due to these repeated problems I feel it is dangerous to drive this vehicle since you never know when the problem will reoccur and the vecle will again stall and run rough, making it an adventure when you are slowing or attempting to merge in traffic.
Fuel injection; second time entire injection replaced due to no fuel getting to engine. Owner is aware of others with 4.3 same failure when conditions are cold.
