The problem that we have in Montreal about the GM dealers, it's that since they went on chapter 11, they closed most of their dealerships. There's a Canadian Tire every mile here, but the there's probably less than 3 or 4 GM dealers on the island. The Canadian tire store was more closer to me..but a...

Ok.. Problem fixed, but I'm not sure if I want to tell you what happened. We got a pretty bad snow storm here, because I don't have a garage, I didn,t wanted to fix that outside, so I left the van to a Canadian Tire repair shop. They have all the parts and tool. So I asked them a direct order to rep...

Oki, I finaly got the code! \:D/ I called a friend who bought a code reader, we plugged it on his laptop computer, and got the code P0134, wich is the O2 sensor system, no signal on Sensor 1 bank 1. On the OBD2 program, the symptoms looks like pretty similar to me! -Misfire, engine running poorly, b...

The EGR makes lot of sens! For the code reading, unfortunatly, we don't have any Advance Part Zone in Canada. Yesterday I went for a short little ride with the van, just to make sure that the brake discs won't rust. Good news! I finaly got the engine check light on! So that will help to get a code. ...

Ok, you are right! I will bring it to the dealer and if I can get a trouble code. However, everything that I replaced are parts that I had to replace anyway on a good tune-up, so it's no big deal. I saw the engine light flashing for less than a minute, but not anymore... I will come back to you guys...

I replaced the cam position sensor, for the crankshaft sensor, is it accessible or it's another pain in the ass to remove? About the catalist converter, is there a way to see if it's the cause? It really sound like a missfire, I don't feel any loose of power and on highway, it runs perfectly. If it ...

Hi, sorry for the late reply, I was out. It's a 97 4.3l.. I already replaced the cam position sensor, that's the part under the rotor that looks like a pick up coil on our lawnmower... But it doesn't change anything. For the distributor, I don't feel any play in the rotor, weird... I didn't check fo...

Hi! Again, more weird problems.. last time I posted a question, it was my steering box + PS pump, then brakes ect... I don't know if I will see the end of that.. This time, I have some ignition or fuel problem. During the holidays, I drove down to Florida. Nothing to say, I did the trip from Montrea...

Problem fixed! It was finaly the brake system itself. I had two lines leaking, I replaced them, then to bleed it, I broke the bleed screws, so I had to change the calipers. I finaly got everything working perfectly. It has been a chain reaction I guess.. I lost the gearbox, then that damaged the pum...

Thanks for the info!
I bleed the system with the wheels off the ground, but with the engine running, this time I will tried with the engine off.
Actualy, the truck on the stands and I found two brake lines corroded and leaking. I will fix that before, it doesn't help...

As far as I can remember, I did everything as it was originaly. It was a pain to get room to work on that, but I think everything was fine, it doesn't leak. The steering works perfectly now too. I don't see any problem on the steering side, it's only with the hydroboost. How can I bleed it more than...

Hi again! Thanks for the help! :cheers: It's a '97 SLX 2WD.. I installed a salvaged gearbox, but a brand new pump. I also replaced the two lines that goes to the gearbox, because they were rusted and leaking after the installation of the gearbox. You have to understand that it's a northern truck and...

Hi folks, I'm new to this forum. I bought my Safari last year because I needed a good van to drive down to Florida from Montreal with a Vespa scooter in the back, during my Xmas vacations. My safari has been very reliable...but about two weeks ago, the steering box went bad. It was jamming and the s...
