Fuel pump or filter possibly

The car died on the highway last week while driving the battery is fine an it starts after sitting sometimes but it runs for a few 20 seconds or so dies again no check engine lights or check gauge lights come on i've heard pump, filter, or possibly fuel pump ground wire. i was going to change the fuel filter first it's a 2001 just over 80k should i bother trying that it gets gas but when sitting idle it's like the flow gets restricted a few seconds after hitting the pedal

    it'll idle fine til it seems like it loses the full flow of gas

  • bryanb513 Nov 07, 2009

The idle control sensor could be bad give these websites a try www.alldatadiy.com and www.autozone.com if all fails stop by your local GM dealership and ask for the manager and he can tell you what is going on if that fails stop by your local library and get your hands on a Haynes auto repair manual for you car wish you the best Michigan Man.

    try some STP gas treatment with some Shell gas you may have gotten some bad gas in your car with to much water in it make sure you pump in a half tank of gas then put the STP gas treatment in and top it off and drive it on the highway or where you can drive around 55-MPH have someone to follow you just in case you have problem i also would like to give you this information they sells only GM-parts its Schram auto & truck parts 1-800-292-1032 and they website is www.schramauto.com it would not hurt to give these guys a call since most of them work for GM best of luck Michigan Man.

The fuel filter should be changed yes , if you have never had it done or do not know if it has been done. The problem nay be a crank position sensor and or tps sensor or the camshaft position sensor. If you can pick up an automotive diagnostic scanner and scan for codes. Even tho there is no light on , it still may be an issue. Thank you , Quinn Texada

Car dies while driving

HI. this is a fuel filter issue. would have it replaced asap if possible. you should also, purchase a fuel additive to flush out the fuel injectors and fuel lines as well. Sea foam is a very good fuel system additive.

Due to the fact that this car is a 1999 model, i would change the fuel pump as well. this is good preventive maintenance.

One more thing, if you have not had a full scale tune up recently or, in the last 10,000 miles, i suggest scheduling one soon.

Car dies suddenly after warming up, but not all the time?

Your problem is quite interesting.
My suggestion is that you should leave it or give it to someone else and buy new one.
