Mines a 93 and I hear that it is a common problem in all. The valves on top of the valve cover get blocked up.
Only gas engines use blow off valves.
From 1996 to late 1999 There was a problem with the intake gasket design on the Vortec engines. They have sents redesigned the gasket and now it does not leak as often. Intake Gaskets leaking is a common problem. Now the only time you have a problem with the heads is when the engine is over heated, and I mean HOT. Then the heads warp and the head gaskets leak or blow. Chevy just don't have problems with the heads on the V6 and V8 engines.
head gaskets blow and intake manifold gaskets break
I'd suspect "blow-by", that's where exhaust gasses escape past the pistons (worn rings) and build pressure inside the crankcase. Blow-by is common in high-mileage engines and especially engines that have not been properly maintained. I have this car and the same problem the engine revs up like its supposed to but when its in gear it just doesnt have the power it should
vtecs do blow blue smoke when the valve stem seals are worn and the piston rings are worn alsoits verycommon in dohc vtec engines
you blow air into it to start the blades moving and then you give fuel to the engines and it starts up
NO!!!!! if you do then the engine can start up in flames or even blow up!!!!!
They always blow the head gaskets between 70 and 100 thousand miles.
The main use of the blow off valve is as a way of releasing pressure in turbo charged engines. It reduces wear and tear on the engine and prevents a number of potential issues.
its a volcano, common sense
because ot their type of engines , General Electric J79-GE-17A axial compressor turbojets make so much black smoke This issue was solved with the smokeless J79-GE-17C (or -17E) engines.
Not really sure of the model. but for basic engines, they have to breath. Check for crankcase venting. Good luck.
