Replying to: tiggerchick (Sep 29, 2008 11:10 pm) Hi I used to own a 1995 chevy suburban. And I had the same symtoms as you do. When I would come to a stop at a red light the engine would die. I go to park it the engine would die. And when I put my foot on the gas it would lurch forward. When my engine would die I would lose power steering. I go to start it again it would crank forever and not start. And the whole time it did'nt throw a code at me. After drive it for months like this it finally gave me a code. It was the coolant senser went bad. Check the voltage at the coolant sensor plug with a voltmeter with the key on engine off and it should be 5 volts. To check the coolant senser itself you have to ohm it with an ohmeter. Ohm out the coolant sensor once when the engine is cold and once when the engine is at hot at normal operating temperature. Compare it to the ohm spec of the coolant sensor in a hanyes manuel that you can get at autozone. If the coolant sensor is out of the ohm spec replace it. Or you can have a mechanic check the coolant sensor. I replace the coolant sensor on my suburban and it fixed the problem. Hope this helps later Replies to this message: kdmiller (Apr 08, 2009 4:40 am) bwoodruff (Aug 02, 2009 11:45 am)

Replying to: xamonox (Apr 07, 2009 10:36 pm) This is exactly what happened to me with my 95 sub. I changed the fuel filter no change. then had the egr valve tested (off vehicle) at a local shop. It tested bad so I replaced still no change with stalling and cutting out. Finally It showed a code 15 on check eng light. wich was my coolant temp sensor. Installed new sensor and magically all works great now.
