Yes, fuel starvation would be indicative of good start and idle, but then loses power on the road. Injectors are more likely to affect a variety of RPMs and would often set a check engine light and run roughly (they rarely all go at once) Filter is a decent diagnosis. Replace proactively at 50KM intervals. Bad gas is not unheard of either. While checking, also check the engine air filter.

SOURCE: 1996 Ford F-350 460 gas engine. Stalls while going

I'd check the manual transfer valve on the dash. They have a tendency to go bad after awhile. Cause 1000 different symptoms, and be the last thing checked/replaced. It's probably the cheapest place to start. The pump under the driver's feet is usually the last one to go in my experience, but the secondary culprit is normally the main pump in the rear tank.

Next time it tries to stall, toggle the fuel switch and see what happens. Same with a hard start. Back and forth a few times quickly.

Hope this helps.

Testimonial: "thanks for the tip. Already replace this switch. "

My car starts and then cuts off and hesitates when im driving and stalls

It sounds like you have some dirt in your gas tank or your fuel pump has one of your fuel lines have a crack init and sucking air . Good luck and let me know how you do. Your fuel pump is proubly below the trunk floor. remove the carpet and the bolts in the floor. number your hoses and remove the fuel pump. Use a ohm meter and ohm out the pump, or take it to auto parts and they will check it out for you. [email protected]

My1988 nissan maxima hesitate a lot before quiting,what will be the problem,do you think if i change the fuel pump will solve the problem?

Could be alot of things but since it only acts up when hot that narrows a few things. Put new sparkplugs in. Run the car until it starts acting up, turn the car off let it cool then take out the spark plugs but keep them in the boot of the cylinder it came out of check the color of all of the plugs. Which one or more look oil caked up? If you can read a sparkplug they willl tell you the problem most of the time on older vehicles. If not this the problems probably in fuel delivery system filters or pump.
