2003 Chevy tracker wants to die at the stop sign red light or after the motor gets warm

STARTER DEAD MEANS NO CRANK????????????
CRANKS FAST BUT DOES NOT START, MEANS JUST THAT.?
OR cranks then STARTS AND STALLS.?
I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND THE END OF LINE 3 ABOVE.
WE CAN NOT HEAR YOUR STARTER SPIN FAST, YOU MUST SAY IT AND TYPE IT. OK.
THE IDLE CONTROLS ARE FAILING (IAC VALVE)
OR you never got tune up in 20 years? and the spark plugs are shot.
as expected 100% that.
IF BY CHANCES IT DOES CRANK FAST AND WILL NOT START
UsE 5% right foot throttle to start the engine,

if the starter is dead, shift to neutral and crank that way
the users guide (free) tells how.

a starter can be dead silent
or clicks
or chatters
or goes GRRRRRRGVRRRRRR that load cranking sound.
what does your starter do in line 3 , hot started.

Dodge 2006 caravan sxt 3.8L. Engine started running very sluggishly 2 weeks ago. Worse at low speed such as 0 - 10 mph. Cruising at 65 mph and then to say 5 mph in traffic causes engine to appear to "

Depending on the actual code for the O2 sensor, the fuel pressure may be low at times. You may want to look at fuel pressure and delivery.

1997 nissan pathfinder timing problem have a miss at idle when in gear

I doubt the problem is timing. If that were the case, it would have the same miss at road speed.
Is the check engine light on ?

I have a 98 grand prix 3.8L and sometimes it's hard to start. then sometimes going down the road the tach goes to zero and the speedometer starts swinging while the car is trying to stall.

If the vehicle cranks normally when not starting check the tach see if it is reading any engine speed. Sounds like the crank sensor is going bad very common fault on the 3800 series 1 & 2 engines. You must remove the harmonic balancer to replace the sensor.
