Running roughjoker68 04-10-2005, 12:54 AM I have a 1995 chevy s-10 pickup with a 4.3 V6 TBI. It's running rough, i was told it could be the catalytic converter causing it. I was just wondering if it could be the problem. Kinda runs like it's flooded. jackass#1 04-10-2005, 01:44 AM how long since a good tune up? check fuel pressure. cat cuold cause it to run poorly, but so can so many other things. do you have any warning lights displayed? joker68 04-10-2005, 06:31 AM Tune-up around 5 months ago, did not change out the distributor or rotor. one of the spark plugs I didn't change was in there tight didn't want to break it. toenailclippers 04-10-2005, 10:56 AM have a solution to changing that tight plug.....you have to break the old onein order to get it out......break offf the insulation abovethe base that way you can get a swivel socket in there and pull the old oneout. its much easier to get a new plug in that an old one out OverBoardProject 04-10-2005, 01:27 PM have a solution to changing that tight plug.....you have to break the old onein order to get it out......break offf the insulation abovethe base that way you can get a swivel socket in there and pull the old oneout. its much easier to get a new plug in that an old one out That's a good idea toenailclippers jackass#1 04-10-2005, 09:22 PM try that cap and rotor, old plug and see what you think. joker68 04-10-2005, 09:37 PM I just wanted to thank you all for your help. jackass#1 04-10-2005, 09:51 PM any changes in the truck? joker68 04-10-2005, 10:00 PM No changes yet. I work 16 shifts on the weekend, so I have to wait till monday. But I'll let you know. Candi-Tommy 04-12-2005, 11:53 AM I would say that it is your EGR valve. I had the same problem and didn't know WTF to think. I was told to change the EGR and it runs like a champ now. kenyonja2007 04-12-2005, 12:13 PM My 2.2 was running really rough and acting like it was really rich. I had 2 problems at one time though, one of my EGR vacuum lines was broken and the throttle position sensor was bad too.
