My 2004 impala ss keeps stalling out. Not all the time. Usualy after I run the car for a while, turn it off and start driving it will happen. Also mostly when I am driving and have to stop at a light is when it will want to stall. One more thing, sometimes the rpms are jumping all over the place when I am idling, before stalling. I changed the fuel filter, and ran a few rounds of injector cleaner through it. Anybody know what's up?

Sounds the EGR valve and EVP sen is bad even if you tested it. The EGR valve cntrols idle and if carbon up will make the car stall or idle high and low (rpms going up and down) This was common on all cars during that time. I would say replace the EGR valve and senosr. This should take care of the problem. One more thing have the fuel pressure check on the car.

Best do a fuel pressure test. Should have chg. fuel filter from the get go. The only other filter is on the end of the fuel pump in tank. Bad gas and dirty gas will plug up fuel filter, hense burn pump up.

SOURCE: wont keep idle, car stalls out

I had this same problem on my 2005 monte carlo, took mechanic a while to figure out it was the idle air control valve. They also replace the idle air control motor.

SOURCE: 2000 Impala ls car runs fine when first start.

There are NO choke coils on your vehicle, so don't bother looking for something that doesn't exist, just like there is NO carb on your engine. What you have is either a 3.4 or 3.8 liter V-6, sequential multi-port fuel injected engine.

The first thing you should do is replace the fuel filter. This is located underneath your vehicle, in front of the rear suspension. You will need a 10mm socket or wrench to remove the bolt that holds on the mounting bracket for the fuel filter. You will then need to push the fuel line forward towards the filter, while you are pushing in the white plastic retaining clips, then while holding them him, continue to hold the filter with one hand, while pulling back the line with the other, It should easily come off. Repeat for the other line. I recommend this as the first step, because many vehicle owners don't bother to get their fuel filter changed as often as they should. It should be changed at least every 24,000 miles.

Drive the vehicle and see if that took care of the problem. If not, you most likely have a bad fuel pump, which is mounted in the fuel tank, a bad fuel pressure regulator, which is mounted on the fuel rail on the engine, it is usually black with a vacuum line going to the top of it, and you may also have a catalytic converter that is starting to go bad, as once they heat up is usually when the internal grid expands and can begin blocking the exhaust.

This may all seem overwhelming to you, but an easier solution might be for you to take it so a reputable shop and have them run diagnostics on it, with you then bringing home and doing the repair yourself to save on parts and labor. Diagnostic fees could run slightly less than $100, to slightly more than that, but could save you from buying and replacing parts that you don't need.

Hope this helps.

2000 Chevrolet Impala LS 3.8L keeps dying while driving, no codes or warnings. It's been happening for years but seems worse now. Ignition module already replaced. Fuel pump hums when I turn ke

many possible causes. sounds all too much like a crank sensor failing. when it dies, does it act like you shut key off, (instant stall)? or does it sputter and cough, then stall out? seen this same situation and problem many times in my shop and a cranksensor fail can be hard to catch when it fails. most likely cause.

2004 Impala SS 3.8 Supercharged.Running rough.

There is a Recall on some models Catalytic Converter. 03 for sure, and it was covered under warranty up to 80,000 miles. Check with Dealer for replacement ($1500.00 was the ridiculous warranty bill) .If your car is over 80,000 miles then i suggest going to a smaller local garage and having the work done. shop around first, shop online Google the part and should get the cheapest listings with Free shipping. possibly $200-$400 plus installation labor at a good mechanics shop. Always shop for the best mechanic, that warranties his work. Muffler shops will generally be higher, but fast service.
