If it only dies when hot it could be coil related. Sometimes after they get hot if they are bad they will lose spark.After it dies check to see if you are getting spark to your plugs.

SOURCE: 2004 Dodge ram diesel just die out of the blue.

It sounds like it could be the transfer pump. Turn the key on and then crank the engine for about 1 second but leave the key in the run position and listen for the transfer pump to run. It should run for about 15 seconds after you stop cranking. If not, then you will need to replace the transfer pump with a in-the-tank conversion kit if your is mounted on the side of the engine block below the fuel filter housing. If you already have the in-the-tank pump then it might be siezed or the "sock" might be plugged up with alge or other contaminants. I usually lift the bed rather than removing the tank to replace the fuel module. If the check engine light is on you might want to have it scanned for codes to make sure since the modules can be spendy.

SOURCE: 91 F150 runs rough at low idle

If you put a scanner on it and you have no misfire codes I would be looking at either an egr valve stuck open a little or a bad Idle Air Control Valve

SOURCE: 1993 s10 4.3 starts fine, while idling it dies.

only half way there if you have a tbi check the crank sensor/ cam sensor that is the first line of business on that truck if the crankshaft sensor fails the truck stops dead when you wait a few minutes the sensor re energizes and the truck will work again for a bit antiknock can cause similer problems but not while the truck is running

SOURCE: 94 taurus dies while driving. replaced ignition

Check the coil for a white ash look any where on the coil. This is an indication that there is a crack in the case and its firing thru it. this can cause that problem. one other is the pick up coil in the distributor. these will not show anything. theres no way to check because when they are cool, they will test fine, but when there hot they just die. when they cool down , they work again

Tps on nissan quest makes loud noise when accelerates

As I look at your letter, which is very good, I might add, here are the few things that occurred to me.
The "loud squealing" should be a belt.
You have one or several belts, and if they get loose, or are worn out ( that includes the belt rubber getting old and hard) they will squeal like that.
However, the squealing also may be coming from one of the pulleys the drive belt or belts are attempting to turn.
If you have a bad bearing in one of the pulleys, you can get that loud sound like " a train".
If you are really careful, a "mechanic's stethoscope" might help you.
That is to take a really long screwdriver, and put the tip on each of the pumps or base of each pulley, and the handle end to your ear, and you can hear the bad bearing "scream" with the engine running.
Be blessed.

Disconnecting the battery cable while the vehicle is running is a no no ! The electronic's on your vehicle , you can cause some serious problem's doing that . That was ok on 1960 era vehicles , from 1970 on with all the transistors in the electronic control modules ,you don't want to do that .

Can't find the source of the squeal

Year make and model ??
The belt could be glazed and slipping even if it is tight.
You could have a weak belt tensioner too.
The noise when the ac or heat is turned on can be the extra load from the ac compressor or the alternator. The compressor cycles on and off especially in defrost mode.
The load from the alternator is the first noise of the day. As the belt warms up it becomes better at handling the load of the accessories.
Even tho the belt looks fine, you may have to replace it to get rid of the noise.

You should check for trouble codes. Use an OBD II code reader or scanner. Possible that a new coolant temperature sensor may cure it, but that's just a guess, just like guessing the Intake Air Temperature sensor might be the problem...Have the car scanned for trouble codes first.

2003 kia spectra, 5 speed, had the belt replaced, now it squeals worse

I believe I know the noise that is troubling you. If a new belt is correctly tensioned and still makes such a noise it would indicate either contamination with oil or similar or pulleys that are less than perfectly aligned

The noise and your description is symptomatic of slippage and the pulley that is most likely to be slipping is the small alternator pulley. After starting and when accessories are being used that require a significant current the alternator needs considerable power to drive it in order to produce that current/replace the battery power used to start the engine.

The increased power to drive the alternator must be delivered via the drive belt. As the battery voltage rises the charge rate will fall and the power needed to drive the alternator falls and so the squealing reduces and then stops.

One further thing to note is an engine and it's ancillaries expand or grow quite a lot in engineering terms as it warms up, this has a tendency to tighten the drive belts further.

I have a '99 Honda Civic. Some mornings the belts squeal very loudly for a few seconds. I don't know what belt is sqealing or how many there are that could squeal for that matter. Also when I

Alternator drive belt squealing

yeh, mine did the same thing with a hydralic belt. it was the bearings. mazda capellas use a lot of 6202 bearings which, luckily, are fairly cheap, and are commonly used in pool pumps. so you can find them at pool pump repair stores. although pool pumps use 6202 2RSR bearings. these are just the water proof type, but are excactly the same size and can be used.
to test if it is a bearing problem, remove the belt and try to twist the individual wheels by hand, you should be able to turn the 2 smaller ones.
from memory the alternator belt is in a fairly in accessable postition so the belt is going to be hard to put back on.try other things first, like wiping the inner side of the belt with a dry cloth to remove moisture.
worst case senario is your alternator has, or is starting to, seize up and you need to replace it.
