S10 engine stalling rough idle

Hey, I'm having trouble with my 2001 Chevrolet S10, gasoline engine, 166771 km on the clock. Fuel consumption is way up, engine feels weak, and it sometimes stalls at idle. Plus, there's smoke when I accelerate. Thinking it might be the injection system; some cables and plugs look worn. Any ideas?

Dude, that sounds rough! I had a similar thing happen with my S10. Was it like a loss of power, especially uphill? Was it worse when the engine was cold?

Yeah, it's definitely worse when the engine is cold, takes a while to warm up. And the power loss is super noticeable going uphill, feels like it's struggling. What was the issue with yours? Did you figure it out yourself?

Man, sounds like the exact same problem! I messed around with it a bit, but honestly, I just took it to a workshop. They sorted it pretty quick. Cost me 95€ though. But hey, at least it runs like new now!

Thanks a lot for the info! Sounds like I should probably just bite the bullet and take it in. Was hoping it was something simple, but better to get it fixed right. You’ve been a great help!
