1996 GMC Jimmy I need help..?

Postby Mercho » Mon Oct 08, 2007 2:18 am

My car just got the engine 110,000 miles redone crankshaft, gasket kit, oil, valves, pistons and all that stuff cost lots but it's missing when I push the gas pedal. It also has an oil leak someplace I can't find. as well, the service engine light is still on and my dome lights stay on all the time I had to take out the fuse for them to go out. Can anybody help me?

The dome light is most probably the switch in the door, you dealer can most likely fix that pretty cheaply. or a mechanic. The oil leak and missfiring cylinder are big issues. Take it back to whoever did the work and demand they do it properly.

Sounds like an engine rebuild. Have the computer codes read by your mechanic. The codes will point you to where the fault is. Oil leaks are easy to find if you degrease the engine 1st, then test it. The dome light on all the time may be the dashboard dimmer switch is on, or there's a flawed door switch.
