SOURCE: I have a 1995 Chevy

Mine did the same thing - not sure if yours is a 5.7 liter or not. Mine is, it's the LT1 engine and has the police package. Not sure if it's the same with the smaller engine, but if it is it could be something leaking over your distributor (water pump, coolant line,leaking oil getting sprayed upwards by the serpentine belt) which is an opti-spark. They are terrible and are labor-intensive to replace. It can be expensive and time-consuming unless you find someone who REALLY knows what they're doing - which isn't easy these days. Look up opti-spark, everyone hates it.

SOURCE: 91 chevy blazer 4.3 won't start after running.

Check the ECM for Codes to help you find out what's causing  the problem. Here is a simple and easy way to check.
On board diagnostic (OBD) was designed on vehicles equipped with electronic fuel injection so you can generally retrieve the codes yourself. No need buying a scanner or running to any parts stores to check the Check Engine. This system is called obd1 and applies to most vehicles made before 1995 for domestics and 1993 on imports. In this article, I will discuss the methods used by domestic vehicle manufacturers on how to check the engine lights in their cars and Trucks.

For GM domestic vehicles made before 1995, the diagnostic connector is located under the dash panel by the driver side. To get the check Engine codes to flash in your dash panel, use a jumper wire or a paper clip and connect terminals A and B of the diagnostic connector. Turn your ignition key on with engine off and the codes should start to blink. All codes should start with code 12 which is one long flash followed by 2 short flashes. This code 12 means the diagnostic system is normal and will repeat itself continuously if there are no trouble codes. Otherwise, code 12 will flash 3 times before flashing the fault codes.

Counting the codes being flashed is easiest way to trouble shot problems in domestic vehicles and most of the codes can be erased or cleared by disconnecting the battery negative terminal for 1 minute and reconnect. Just make sure to check your service manual in case you have electronic equipment such as radio or clock that needs reprogramming in which battery disconnection is not recommended. Finally after performing repairs on the culprit code, always go for a road test to confirm if the problem is fixed.


Here is a link with the GM codes. http://chevythunder.com/199295_lt1_trouble_codes.htm
Good luck and hope this helps

Where are my temperature sensors on my 1992 chevy caprice classic 5.0L

there should be only one for the temp sensor that tells you what your engine temp is at the gauge. it would be on the drivers side near the front spark plus with one wire.the other place it would be is in the or around the thermostat hosing in the front top of the engine.

Chevy caprice problems

With any luck...
This years tax time repair could just be that leaky exhaust (Rusty muffler or plugged CATALYTIC CONVERTER)..

Annual repair is pretty good... (better than most)
but the TWO you don't want to put off

Brakes & Exhaust (ignoring could be fatal).

Just know your prices before going to the
local friendly EXHAUST SHOP.

I have a 1992 chevy lumina z34, its not getting fuel to the injectors or the injectors or opening. I have fuel pressure. up to where you check for pressure on the fuel rail. it just died when I was driving...

Have you checked that engine oil level is okay, if so check that oil pressure switch is good. The switch is usually bypassed to start the engine, but it won't run with no oil pressure indicated...hope this helps

My 1992 chevy s-10 blazer, starts, but dies out when in gear.

Sounds like it could be a mis-fire. At an idle, remove a plug wire to see if it stalls. If it does, re-install it and go to the next one. If you remove one and get no change, that cylinder is the problem. Test for spark.
