I had this problem- it is a simple fix. The problem is at the base of the gearshift. There is a small electric metallic contact that releases the key when you shift into park. that contact can become gummed up and not work properly causing the car to not release your key. (the contact does not engage and the car thinks you are not in park...) If you unscrew the center console and pull it off over the gearshift you will see the contact on the right hand side at the base of the shift lever. I used a little WD-40 to clean it and voila! No problems since. It took me 10 minutes and 2 squirts of WD-40.
How do I open hood from outside when hood release lever is broken from inside 1987 BMW 325i?
These cars have hoods that open on the windshield side with the hinge toward the bumper. Apparently I'm not the only one having this problem Generally, cars have a manual hood release latch just inside the grill of the car, under the hood.
Can you do away with most of the vacuum lines on your 1985 Chevy 305?
some yes...but it depends on whats happening. if its your egr, or pcv, vacuum break...(in other words, something is stuck) best bet is to take about $40 or so to the parts store, get 1 new egr, 1 new pcv, etc... and about 10ft of 1/4 vcuum line (the employee should know how to cut that). IF U WANT... u could start by taking a pocket knife to your vacuum line(s) where they are connected (only if they're cracked/broke, rotted) make a clean cut and slide back on to see if that cures a problem u might be having...
but if your looking to just get rid of vacuum lines...--> try unplugging 1 at a time with the motor idling. BUT BEWARE!!!! this could screw up your idle, fuel mix, possibly start causing overheating, etc. I know they suck, but they're pretty well needed.
This can be attributed to a couple of things. In order to remove the key you can remove the plastic piece under the ignition switch to expose a key release button. OR you can drill out the small circle in the area below the ingnition switch to access the key release button.
The stuck key may be a faulty ignition switch or a bent shift lever. This causes the lever to not make the release solenoid contact. If you slammed it into park you make have bent the contact point on the control arm.
Faulty ignition switches are a common failure.

What type of hitch is used to distribute tongue load to all towing vehicle and trailer wheels?
It is generally termed an 'equalizer hitch'. There are several companies that manufacture them. There are torsion bars that hook solidly to the hitch, and the trailer connections are chains, so you can adjust the amount of weight you want to transfer.
In about 1966, there was a promo ad showing an Olds, Toronado (front wheel drive), with its back wheels removed, towing a vacation trailer. Looked a little goofy, but sure illustrated the point!

This can be done, though some modifications may be needed. If you need to replace your core support (rad support) as well, order a core support for a 91 S10 blazer. This will help do away with the mounting issues.
I did this to a 1985 S10 blazer and the grill fit fine with the factory core support, but not all of the mounting locations matched.

how do you set the timing on a distriubtor for a 2002 Chevy blazer
Quite possibly a failed fuel pump. What you would have noticed was the engine misfiring then stalling. It happens pretty quickly and you would not hear a thing. vbd that or running out of fuel. could also be that your throttle valve cable near the carb needs to be adjusted or replaced. this would cause your car to lose power and/or delayed shifting of the the transmission, usually accompanied with a loud noise when pressing the gas pedal
