1997 GMC Safari van randomly stalls then is fine? It even does it when I have a full tank of gas. I just had the feul filter replaced because apparently it was plugged, yet it still stalls randomly. Sometimes it'll stall immediately after I start it up (10 seconds), sometimes it's 5 minutes, sometimes it's 2 hours, and sometimes it won't stall at all. Just sent it to a mechanic (got it towed there actually because it stalled on me on the highway in rush-hour) and it was stalling like it normally does, then randomly they couldn't get it to stall. Any ideas? No one has any idea what's going on. And it always starts up just fine. It's not a battery issue or a coil issue.. I'm baffled.

I had a problem just like that on my blazer and it turned out to be the wire harness on the fuel injectors. It could also be your fuel injectors, had to replce mine at 85000

SOURCE: 1995 sarari van stalls. replaced fuel pump

when you shut the truck off is/was there a swishing/bubbling noise coming from the tank?

Theres an orange rubber in the fuel tank that connects the fuel pump to the sender lines. if that rubber is torn you may get it to run but not stay running for more than a short period of time.

SOURCE: 2001 gmc safari stalls when comming off the exit

car shuts off when driving for a while,this could be a bad crank sensor. but the sensor should set a problem code, have car scanned. if you do not have a scanner, any auto parts place will scan for free.if car shuts off when driving down road then a bad crank sensor will cause this. good luck toolman,

I have a 1999 GMC Safari. Van will drive fine for

see when you say you step on it, and the vehicle stalls, it sounds as if it bein starved of fuel...you step on it, and therefore the demand is there, but not the supply. to prevent itself from over heating, the fuel pump shuts off...after a moment of cooling off, it fires right back up...get it checked at your mechanic...do the strainer on the bottom of the pump, and fuel filter as well...is it time for a tune up yet?

Hyundai terracan 2.9 deisal 04 runs fine when feul tank is full but when it gets to quater of a tank of feul starves it self of feul then engine light comes on and stalls. to get it to start again you...

dear friend: i think that your terracan is actually running out of fuel even if the guage shows quater,you can also put the old fuel filter back and try it,we did discover some of the new filters sucking air.

Stalling usually when applying brakes

This sounds like a vacuum leak. or mass air flow sensor

Seems like it's not getting enough gas

It could be your fuel pump with your car not running right, the gas gauge thing i have no clue maybe the sensor inside the tank is messed up. or it could just be your fuel filter not doing its job. Htere are a few things it could be I would say Fuel Filter, Pump and maybe a vacume (spelling) problem, I would need to be there and hear it running or drive it to really figure out what it is
