Post by Blaze One »

Lets just say , i did not even get it off the truck ! how do you get to this thing ??. I am just goin to leave it and let the garage put it in when i get a tune up .

On another note , I did clean out my Throttle body , HOLY CRAP was there a lot of black stuff in mine . after cleaning it my rough idle went away . So atleast I got some think acomplished .

so if you have a hesitation or rough idle take a look in there .

I thought the front clip on the fuel filter was a biznatch to get off, it took me a while but I eventually got it off.

once you get the clip off and undo the bolt it doesn't take very long to get it back together.

I found the bolt for the bracket thingy that the filter is in and there is no way i can reach it with a tool . It may be different on a 4dr Blazer though . I am taking it in for a tune up so they can install it .

But cleaning out the tb does make a nice improvment though .

What are some other things that I can just clean or replace myself ? Where is the egr valve ? does it have to be cleaned or somethin . what about the pvc thing too ?
