ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:GAS RECIRCULATION VALVE (EGR VALVE)
THIS IS A DOCUMENTED PROBLEM WITH THE GMC JIMMY, WHICH IS THE SAME VEHICLE AS THE S10 BLAZER. GMC HAS ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THE JIMMY. I AM ONCE AGAIN REPLACING THIS EXPENSIVE PART. WHEN THE EGR VALVE FAILS, THE VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN OR RUNS ROUGHLY CAUSING THE POWER BRAKES TO LOSE THEIR VACUUM, WHICH IN TURN MAKES THE VEHICLE UNSAFE AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS.
