Installed new fuel pump, and now if I drive a few miles and stop for a few minutes when I start driving again the car will start cutting out like it is not getting fuel, but then takes off running nor

I have had it in the shop, they made sure the fuel tank was clean and they hooked it up to the computer and no defects showed up.

Disconnect the MAF sensor and see if the symptom goes away, if it does replace or clean the MAF sensor.

    Forgive the stupid question but I just want to make sure, are you talking about the Mass Air Flow Sensor?

Chevy Trucks, Blazers, S10 pickup and the like will vapor lock ecspecially the 2000 models. Do not tighten the gas cap past 1 click. There is a tube that runs from the top of the tank down and this gets hot and collapses or burns in half. We just bought a reinforced rubber tube cut it to lengh and use it instead of part and it's worked grat for 2 years so far.

Some GM products also incorporate the oil sender switch into that circuit for fuel pump, so that in case of an accident, engine shuts off, oil pressure drops, in turn, shuts off power to fuel pump. May be worth a look at what your getting for oil pressure, as well as checking switch/sender.

Diesel engine runs then stops then runs stops every few minutes

Mate I use to drive a freightliner and it cut out on me one day, I eventually got it started but cut out again after about 5 minutes, I rang a mechanic to come out and he found a heat sensor wire came off the radiator and that caused the motor to cut out... Hope I haven't wasted your time.......

Engine acts like it is out of gas keeps stalling i can turn it off for a few minutes will run for a mile or two then does it again

Vent valve has failed closed or cannister is clogged up. Have the evap system checked from the tank to the charcoal canister. If you need to drive to a mechanic, try driving with the gas cap loose.

I have a 97 tahoe. every morning i start it up it takes a few times before it fires on then its fine,but today i tried to start it up and the same thing happen. i let it set for a few minutes before...

Not the alternator, but a fuel pump or fuel filter could be the problem. BUT it depends on the indications. A fuel starvation problem would act like it was lunging and then dieing out before it died. If it just dies out suddenly, then I would suspect an electrical problem like a coil pack or cap.

2000 olds intrigue car starts fine and will run and drive for a few miles then car shuts off. then you can start it up and drive again for a few miles etc.

Hello and welcome to FixYa!
As a first course of action, I suggest that you have the fuel pump checked. It can be failing that's why the fuel supply cuts off. You may need a fuel pump replacement to resolve the problem.
Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!
