My 98 Tahoe only blows air from the defrost vents..No Hot No Cold, just air.
Hi guys my Tahoe only blows air from the defrost vents. It doesn't seem to blow Hot nor Cold air, just air. None of the selector positions (Floor..Mid-Level, or Top) seem to be working. Any help diagnosing my problem will be appreciated. Thanks in advance Bamba -

Flywheel not turning when Hoe is pushed in gear
Yes I "do" have the bolts with the knurled ends... I was wondering what that was all about... Thanks for bringing it up What are the "flywheel tools" for situations like this?? One mechanic suggested that I turn the flywheel with a "big screwdriver" inserted between the teeth?? I thought...- Bamba

Flywheel not turning when Hoe is pushed in gear
Yea Sunlitcomet, you have a point there. I wonder what would have caused the starter to chew up the flywheel like that in the 1st place? My logic would say that the teeth on the solenoid should be made of a softer metal than the teeth on the flywheel to prevent failures like this. It's...- Bamba

Flywheel not turning when Hoe is pushed in gear
Thanks for your replies guys The thought of replacing the flywheel just because it's missing 4-5 teeth isn't comforting. Eventually I'm sure I'll have to do it but now is the worst time for me to undertake a job like that. This weekend would be much better. Isn't it possible to turn the...- Bamba

Flywheel not turning when Hoe is pushed in gear
I thought I had a starter or solenoid problem when my Tahoe wouldn't start. I got a tow home and when I took the starter off, I noticed that about 4-5 teeth were missing from the flywheel. I tested the starter and the solenoid kicked out and turned just like it should. When I initially had...- Bamba

Can someone HELP me with this.. Spark Plug gap??
I feel totally stupid.... not for making a simple mistake but for "somehow overlooking" it when the problems started showing up. For the sake of anyone as silly as myself "sometimes"... I FOUND the problem! I switched two of the spark wires when I initially took the distributor cap off! I...- Bamba

Can someone HELP me with this.. Spark Plug gap??
Friggin P0300 code resurfaced again a couple days ago ... I'm going to close out this thread and open one solely for the P0300 error, as it has nothing to do with spark plug gap. The 02 error has NOT returned... :) I guess I do have "something" to be happy about. On 2nd thought... you guys...- Bamba

Scanner Code definitions and relationships
After pulling some "Live Data" yesterday, it sure would be good to have some information on the relationship between things like SHRTFT %, LONGFT %, ... SHRTFTB1 % etc I know that these are "Short\Long Term Fuel Trim designations but what I don't know is ...what the relationship is between...- Bamba

Can someone HELP me with this.. Spark Plug gap??
correct Instant, everything was fine meaning that I didn't have the rough idle that I currently have. After looking for vacuum leaks (and not finding any) I DID notice what sounds like an exhaust leak coming from the area under the drivers side exhaust pipes. I'll check more and tighten the...- Bamba
