Re: 95 Stro AWD SES light

All I can tell you is that your 95 van should be setup just like your old 90 van. They are both OBD1 vehicles with the same ALDL connecter and codes. You will have an SES (or an engine symbol, check engine), ABS, Airbag and Bake idiot lights come on with the key turned on. If your SES light is in y...

Re: 95 Stro AWD SES light

Thanks for taking time to post the info dude, but it wasn't what I'm looking for by no means. Need to determine "How my SES light which I'm assuming is located on my Brake light displays when you turn the key on". Does it flash once, twice or seven times like mine is doing? My older 90 mod...

Re: 95 Stro AWD 2dirt cheap from auction with UNGO Clarion Alarm

Thanks Crash for the useful info you provided. Worked like a charm but the bugger won't start. Changed cap, rotor and wires due to ugly amber looking spark. Lots of blue in my spark but this truck just won't start. Going into hi mode testing tomorrow's another day.

Re: what size is your nuts?

Usually GM uses 36mm on those front hub nuts, that's what my 95 & 97 Blazers used. And I remember some people on here using the S10 axle shafts too so probably right. Go to Autozone and see if you can rent one, I believe they rent the socket for the front axles. I found out they rented them aft...

Re: TPS on 90 safari with Model 220 TB

Thanks for the pointers Mike. Now if I'm getting no reading at all with the blue and black I'm assuming the TPS is NFG.??? Am I misunderstanding the procedure to check here, found 5.5-6.3V at the grey and black, am I supposed to move the throttle to get a reading off blue and black even if I don't g...
