Hi newbie here. I have an 83 S-10 P/U 4x4 with a 2.8 6cyl. in it i just bought. I am trying to figure out what causes it to die at stops. It starts up great, driving down the road fine come to a stop it dies. If you have any ideas that would be great. Thanks Bob

98 GMC SONOMA-DIES AT TAKE OFF by dstclair

I have a 98 sonoma ( 4 cyl.) that runs great and strong going down the road but when I stop and start to take off it bogs down and dies, It will start back up in 5 to 10 mins. and will run good for several days and then it will die again . I have been told that it is the 3rd cycl. I have replaced both coils, the plate that the coils bolt to tested and tested good. Replaced the fuel filter, plug wires, and plugs. Any clue what this may be?

Did you ever find the problem?? I have a similar problem with a 2003 Sonoma Zr2.
After reading some of the responses it might be a worn wire in the steering column from the ignition switch.

I could be the ignition switch i have a 98 S10 4banger that had the same problem. It heats up and causes more resistance in the connector which drops the voltage to the Fuel Pump And The ignition coils and shut it down. Then letting it cool down returns it to normal untill it gets hot. It took me atleast 8 shop and hundred of dollars and about 2 years to fine out it was a $92 switch on the key tumbler.

I have the exact same problem with my '96 s10 4.3 4wd auto. So far I've changed everything you've mentioned except for the O2 sensors and the catalytic converter. Hopefully at this point you've discovered something that I haven't yet. If you have any advice for me I would really appreciate it.

I can tell you where I think the problem is. The module plug at the key assy, remove plug and clean contacts, that should do it.
 
In the mean while try this, turn key to run, shift into neutral, then start, might work.

What is going on! 98 gmc sonoma by sonomatroubles

I have a gmc sonoma that i will be driving and then all of a sudden will jerk and sputter and at times will die. The symptoms are all the warning lights will come on including security, alb, battery, air bag and service engine. and all gauges will flop down and back up several times until the engine starts back up, When it starts back the service engine light may stay on and may not the security light has come on and stayed on along with the airbag light as well. It is a manual transmission so if you are going down hill it will start right back up and may not have these symptoms again for days or weeks or it may do it 10 more times in a row. Most times it starts right back up, if you just keep driving put it in neutral it regularly starts right back ,sometimes it will not and you have to pull over take a minute to set and starts back up. Took it to a parts store computer code came back cam shaft sensor and crank shaft sensor replaced both of them and is still doing the same thing except it is not as easy to start back now . Does anyone know what this may be ?
