The vehicle has lost all power to go. She sounds like she is suffocating and not getting enough air. I have changed the fuel filter, the maf(that is the code that is being thrown from the check light) spark plugs. Also cylinder 5 is misfiring.
I have noticed many nonworking 3rd brake light (high mounted led strips) on late 90s chevy blazers and gmc suvs. I have a 1997 gmc jimmy that has this failure. I do not know of any specific incident(s) relating to this part failure. *tr
