My daughter's 1995 SL2 died while driving. This is the 3rd time in 6 months. She says it sputters then dies. She's able to wait a few minutes then it starts up again and drives normal. We've taken it in twice but both times they don't know what's wrong. Really?

Does this happen when the gas level is low? What can happen is that the gas evaporative system is not working properly, and the gas tank gets a partial vacuum which the fuel pump cannot overcome. If you hear a shhhhhh sound when the gas cap is opened, that's what is is. Could also be dirt in the gas tank, Most tanks can be drained via a small plug in the bottom. Removing the fuel pump to inspect the attached filter is a possible if fiddly job.

My car is sputtering and dying. If I try to restart it, it will immediately go into sputtering/dying mode. If I wait a while an hour or so it will start up and drive fine.

When was the last time that the carburetor was stripped and cleaned? Also have you checked the fuel filter? Finally, the problem seems to come and go as the engine is run (and it gets hot) check that the fuel line and any electrical cables are well away from the hot engine as far as is possible.

2000 s10 Blazer dies very 3-6 weeks for no reason

i would check your ignition system. you would need a meter for this but look for broke or loose connections. if it was a fuel problem i dont think it would just start up after 20 minutes. or you might try your ignition switch. if its shorting or something then ya well it would cut your engine off real quick
