whats up everyone im a new owner of a 99 s-10 2.2. im havin a little bit of a hard time with it???? When i get in it in the morning or when the ambiant tempature out side is cool the truck will not start. I can pop start it and it will run but the guages dont work for a while and then they will just start working out of no where. I have replaced the starter, battery, and cleaned the bat. terminals. Anyone have any idea whats up im in a bind its my only ride???

I'm having a similar problem with my '92 S10. However, mine only doesn't start when it gets low on gas, but not OUT. My truck has so many problems. Grumble grumble grumble.......

Howdy, check your stater wires, if there tite it might be the starter sylanoid going bad.

Can you be more specific?
Does it crank over but not fire? Or does it not crank over?

Howdy, I did a some reading in the Haynes manual and page 6-8 emissions it describes the (IAT) Intake Air Temperature sensor as a cold start thermostat inside the air duct. Buy and read up on it I think this is the culprit. DIYers rule.
