98 GMC Safari
Question:
Hi, The check engine light on my GMC Safari has come on solid and is not going off, even after running the recommended fuel injector cleaner. It has been suggested to me that I replace the spark plugs, spark plug wires and cap and rotor. I didn’t think that cap rotor were still being used. I tried looking, but for the life of me I could not even locate where any of these things are? Could somebody point me in the right direction? Thanks. — Kevin Johnson

Hi Kevin I have a 1997 Safari I have been getting a check engine light allot. I find out that it is a loose gas cap. As far as the spark plugs go they are suppose to be good for 160,000km. To get to them you can jack your van up and take the front tire off and lift the rubber flap to get at them. The cap and wires is a different story. You have to remove the glove box and then the dog house under the dash. There are 2 torx screws under the caps on either side of the console and 2 bolts under the flap of carpet at the bottom. Then if you look up under the big hump you will see 2 large bolts. Back them out and the hole hump comes free. That is where you will find the back of your engine. I hope this helps. Peter

The check engine light could be just about anything, going and replacing stuff to try to turn it off is just shooting in the dark. You need to get the codes read out with a scan tool.. — Robert Hancock Saskatoon, SK, Canada Home Page: http://www.roberthancock.com/

Thank you very much. I found a broken vacuum hose but for the life of me cannot find where it broke from. An assembly comes out from the dash area and has three vacuum hoses on it. One of the hoses has a plastic right angle attachment on it. This is the one that broke. — Kevin Johnson – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> Look for a small vacuum hose disconnected possibly from the reservoir > tank. > My friend’s Safari is having a/c problems.

My friend’s Safari is having a/c problems. She said that when she turns the air on the vents next to the steering wheel and the top vents on the passenger side don’t blow any air, but that the vents under the dash on both sides are still blowing air just fine. Also, the rear air is still working ok. My thought was a blown fuse. Does anyone else have any suggestions if this proves to be incorrect? Thanks for any advice. — Kevin Johnson
