1998 olds intrigue with a 3.8l motor. Was running great then all of a sudden died at 60 mph. Now it just cranks over but won't start. It has fuel and the fuel pump works so what would cause this?

I have olds intrigue '98. Always ran great.

If you are saying it starts and then dies, have you checked fuel pressure again ? Could be the fuel pump relay.

1998 GMC K1500 Sierra SL 4wd Truck will crank but not start I cant get any fuel

The first thing i would check is the fuel pressure. the fuel pump may be running, but that doesn't mean that it is putting out the right amount of fuel

A 1998 gmc Sierra driving down road at 60 and it just died replaced ignition module and in line fuel filter and now It won't even try's to start

Have you checked the fuel pressure? I think that the fuel pressure is between 55 or 60 pounds. They won't run under 52 pounds.

Driving in 105 degree temp, truck quits! What happened?

If the engine won't crank with compression in the cylinders, either the head gasket has blown or something else major has happened.
You will have to get it towed to a shop.
If it cranks normally but won't start, you have to figure out if it is a fuel or ignition problem.
Did the temp gauge show it was overheating before it died ?

I will ask again i have a 1998 olds intrigue has 106000 miles runs great drive to work and back every day when i checked the oil there is vapors comming from the dipstick any one know why this happens car...

Don't work on those but it is normal for vapours to be in the motor. You might just want to check your pcv (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) Valves ie breathers.

Died while driving down the highway then won't start? We were going about 70 and it just died. I will turn over but not start. Any help would be great.

My first thought, is the fuel pump quit

That is where you start, or a repair shop should start

I do not like going anywhere near 70 mph for that reason,
& I'am getting too old to enjoy speed & spend too
much time making love to vehicles, to put them under
any load at high speeds or uphills

1998 GMC Savana conversion van - It starts right up and immediately dies, repeatedly and randomly. Sometimes it won't start for days. Then poof, starts right up. It turns over fine, it starts fine. The...

It won't die when pulling the relay because it has another power path to the fuel pump through the oil pressure switch . Fuel Pump Electrical Circuits Description and Operation watch this video on fuel pump control , shows chrysler first , ford ,then gm . wait for gm an he explains the oil pressure switch . Plus when it won't start ,don't guess or theorize ! Test what's missing ? check for spark , no spark check ignition system , coil's , ignition module , crank sensor etc... has spark ,do a fuel pressure test etc... don't think computer , when it won't start does the check engine light come on with the key on run not start . If light is lit ,nothing wrong with the cumputer . If want to fix cars you really should take some automotive classes . Test don't guess .Watch some other videos crank no start videos etc...

My 1998 chevy lumina decelerated from 60 mph to 50 to 40, so I pulled over, and the car would not start since, what is the problem?

this sounds fuel related to me. did the car just all of a sudden start losing power on the highway? i guess it would crank and crank, but not start when you pulled over? have you run out of gas recently or frequently? i would check your fuel filter first, but it sounds like your fuel pump just up and quit on you. that pump is, of course, inside the gas tank. pulling the tank involves 2 straps, 3 fuel lines, and an electrical connector plug. hopefully you were low on gas when it happened. that way the tank is not so heavy and hard to work with.
