    1995 GMC Jimmy will not idle properly
    My 1995 Jimmy has 211,000 miles on it. Although the dealership put in a new engine at 105,000 miles. The problem I'm having is when I take my foot off the gas and the RPM's drop the engine turns off. So when I'm not accelerating and the RPM's aren’t high I have to put it in neutral and rev the engine so it doesn’t die. Anyone have an idea about how I might fix this problem? I've done a bit of work under the hood of this car so I'm kind of familiar with where things are. I'd just like to try a few things myself before I have to pay a mechanic. Any suggestions?

    . New fuel filter.

    Sounds like your egr valve is stuck partially open. Remove it and check for a small piece of carbon holding the valve open.I had the same problem on my 94 sonoma.

Overheating jimmy... [ 1 Answers ]

I own a '87 GMC Jimmy S15 and for the last few days it has been overheating and when I hit 35-40 mph it feels like it loses power and I can't accelerate past 45 mph. Someone told me it could be the water pump going out but then someone told me that water pumps don't just start to go out, they...
