| Pulled out of driveway and truck died. Intermittent electrical and wouldn't stay on long enough to get it back to the driveway. Jiggled the battery and heard a click in the fuse box on the other side of the engine. The running lights came on and I could get the key out. New battery, fuel pump, and radiator. | |

Just shut down on me while coming home last night. Try to start and it tries, but sounds like it is dieseling then shuts down. Cranks over, but will not start. Temp was a little high when it shut down. Fuel pump? Temp sensor? Pulled dip stick, no H2o. Only 76k on this vehicle.

Hello I have a 2000 GMC JIMMY first of all what piece of crap. But Here is my problem. When you put gas in the bowl its starts then stalls. We have replace regulator, filter, cam shaft position sensor. The pump does come on. We have run out of ideas on what it might be. Does anyone know what it could be or have an idea. We are so tired of spending money on things that aren't wrong.

My brother is having a similar issue with his . if it is in his driveway facing a down hill it starts every time. Once started it runs perfect no hesitation or anything. When he goes to the store and stops, it will not restart until the next morning then it fires right up like nothing has happened. He did have the fuel pump replaced along with everything that goes with it even the wiring to it. The pump does make the sound and work perfectly. Although here is one other symptom if he is to try to fill the tank before it is totally full it starts dumping on the ground. Could this leak be causing this issue as i believe it is letting air in through the top of the tank?

Replying to: homefixit (Aug 26, 2009 7:24 am) Turned out to be the temp. sensor to the brain. Once it got up to temp., the sensor wouldn't let the thing fire up again. My .02 cents |

will run smooth for the first 15-20 minutes until normal operating temperature... when it reaches that point it misses and sputters until the motor shuts down... can sometimes keep it running if throttling up rpms... as soon as you let off the gas it dies... have replaced... fuel pump, catilatic converter, o2 sensor, map sensor, egr valve, fuel filter, acts as if it is electrical when motor warms up... but am running out of ideas and money... sincerily, the money pit please help!!!!
