SOURCE: 1992 chevy corsica runs rough,stall or dies after stopping

Sounds the EGR valve and EVP sen is bad even if you tested it. The EGR valve cntrols idle and if carbon up will make the car stall or idle high and low (rpms going up and down) This was common on all cars during that time. I would say replace the EGR valve and senosr. This should take care of the problem. One more thing have the fuel pressure check on the car.

SOURCE: 1999 GMC Suburban 350 wont run

Per your description, it sounds like you are missing an injector pulse from the ECM.
Check the under-hood fuse box and verify the "ECM1" fuse is good (12 volt supply to injectors).
With the key in the run position, verify you have 12 volts at an injector.
Barrow or purchase a "noid" light to verify you have an injector ground pulse from the ECM.
Let me know what you find and we can proceed from there.
Regards,

Just dies and water start boiling. Just put in thermostat housing

Hi, I hope I can help you, but need some info.
1.Did you replace the actual thermostat or just the housing ?( your statement says "just put in thermostat housing". If the car has no thermostat, the coolant never has a chance to stay in the radiator long enough to cool down and eventually boil over.
2. If the thermostat was replaced, check to make sure the correct temperature rated thermostat was installed and it was not installed upside down.
3. You mentioned "water started boiling". Was the cooling system filled only with water? Using just water only, and not an actual engine coolant, should never be done, as water will reach a boiling point faster than a coolant and will also corrode the inside metallic parts of the cooling system.
4. Is there any visible signs of leaks in the cooling system when it's running? Any puddles forming under the car? If yes, the leaks need to be addressed before trying to repair anything else in the system. I hope this helps, and please write back, as I will check back for any updates you may have written in on this.

Car randomly wont turn on/bogs down and dies

Could be a bad engine ground connection. There should be a cable connected between the engine block and the frame. If this is loose, it could cause intermittent failure of your ignition and your starter to operate properly.

I have a 94 crown Vic I just put a thermostat in it how do u know if it thermostat bad cause it running hot now

If it was running hot before you replaced the thermostat and the new stat didn't help it, most likely you have another problem. First make sure you installed the new thermostat correctly and not upside down and make sure you have purged all the air out of the cooling system. Your radiator could be clogged and restricted, not allowing coolant to circulate. Your fan clutch could be faulty or the radiator fan is not working properly. You could have a bad head or head gasket causing combustion gases to enter the cooling system. The water pump impeller shaft could have broke---These are the most common causes for an overheating problem. Good luck, i hope this helps.

My escort overheated so added water then i tried to start the car but it wont start, its cranks but it wont start

need add add antifreeze half antifreeze and water to raise coolant boiling point. replace thermostat and radiator pressure cap.wait until engine cool then try starting it up.depends on how long you drove car when engine over heated.if you turn off engine soon as it over heated no harm done.if you kept on driving and engine die of lack of cooling, and car wont crank you could have blown head gasket warped or cracked cylinder head.

Intermittent misfiring

Had the same thing. The didtributor was going bad. Lived with it for a few months finally it died. 1 year after replacing the distributor the problem started again. Glad I got a warranty on the distributor. Running great now on the second distributor.

Check engine coolant sensor. If it has a problem, it sends a message to the computer that your engine is actually cold and sends more fuel to the engine causing it to run rough or die. After cooling down it will start and run until it warms up then does the same thing again. Just a thought but could be the problem. You have changed your fuel filter correct? And have you checked your fuel pressure?

If it has injectors it has a ecu, if it has an ecu it has a diagnostic port (normally under the drivers/passenger dash) if you look down at seat botton level you should see a small black port) You can go to any auto zone or parts place and they will scan it for free. You may have a head gasket issue with overheating or your cooling fan(s) may not be turning on. Check the codes first
