The clutch idle setting needs adjustment , go to a qualified mechanic to have it fixed.

SOURCE: 2002 old alero 3.4L itermittent no start, star and stall

My daughter has the same problem and has been in contact with GM. The problem is the system, not the battery or fuel pump etc. GM has no direct fix or parts to repair. The battery disconnect/reconnect works best, its what a dealer will do and they reset the computer even though they find no error. Alero is also is prone to bad motor mounts effecting grounding which can cause the same problem. GM replacement mounts are the same as the problem mounts. Battery reset works here too. Since Olds is gone they won't invest, especially now. carry the battery wrench, drive it till you can't stand it any more and then trade in. Look at the net, its full of the same problem in multiple years of that Alero version. Shame its a nice car.

SOURCE: car spits and sputters and stalls after driving a while

sounds like a fuel pump problem,with fuel pumps u can have pressure but not enough volume,try goin up a steeper hill in 2nd gear and get about 3000 rpms on the engine and see if it really drops out bad and is really gutless,if that happens without a check engine light coming on it might be yur pump and u should also replace the fuel filter at the same time,hope this helps

SOURCE: car will start, runs a few seconds and cuts off

Do you see a "anti theft" light on?
Try another key.
Sounds like the anti theft is active.

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.

My car has been running great wen driving but every now and then it jus turns of while driving no warning doesnt bog in and out jus cuts out. then wont start again if u leave it to sit for few hours then...

Change the capacitor inside your distributer, then all should be okay, we all forget this small item until it gives problems it's probably never been changed since vehicle was new. Hope this helps Best wishes, Malcolm Campbell.

WILL START DRIVE A FEW BLOCKS , THEN SIT 5 MIN GO TO START AND WILL ONLY CRANK CHECK FUEL FUSE SOMETIMES BLOWN OTHER TIMES NOT HIT TANK THEN MAY START , MIGHT TURN OFF AND THEN MAY BLOW FUSE, REPLACE FUSE...

for 1 fuse blown evry so often then you must have a short somewhere, the fact that it will crank and not start is most likely ur fuel pump , had the same issue with getting fuel to start or keep car running, possible that short could be by the fuel pump, the fuel pump is located under the rear seat and if im not mistaken it is on the drivers side rear

My car starts but cuts out when i try to... my car starts but cuts out when i try to put it in gear. runs fine when im driving.

Have you tried cycling key for fault codes? Turn ignition to on (not start) then off, then on, then off, then on, leave it on, and count flashes of check engine light.
flash,flash,pause, flash flash, is code 22. 3 flashes, pause, then 5 flashes, would be code 35, etc. See what you get, & get back to us with them if you need more help.

The 2000 mountianeer starts and runs fine but shuts off

CHECK THE COLD START ENRICHMENT VALVE AND OR THE IDLE CONTROL VALVE. I AM ASSUMING THAT YOUR VEHICLE IS FUEL INJECTED. ONE OF THOSE HAVE GONE BAD.
