I have a 97 Jimmy with 116K Miles, the previous owner seized the motor up by adding every time they filled the gas tank, thinking it needed without checking it. I ran great making 4 trips from East Wyoming back to Utah, now it has problems firing up. When we turn the key it turns over strong, but when it should catch and stay running it dies, it takes several tries to get it to idle, then once started the oil pressure is maxed out. HELP! There are no code, it has new filters, tune up done a month ago, and oil has been changed and it checked regularly. I am going to school for this industry, but am lost right now.
