We have a 2002 Chevy Suburban and it cuts out while driving down the road, about 20-30 mins after starting the vehicle. We've cleaned the fuel filter. As soon as we crank it up it'll run for 20 mins than cut off driving down the road but will crank right back up!!! And after that it's fine, no check engine light is on. IDK whats going on......HELP ME!!!! What could be the problem???

Its probably the fuel filter still clogging if you did a back wash thru the lines to clean filter if your lucky it actually made it past the fuel pump and or debris is at bottom of tank those filters are part of the fuel pump assembly and if clogged usually replace the whole thing since you have to drop the tank --also fuel pump might be dying if or when pump over heats [uses fuel to cool itself ]will stop -- check fuel pump relay sometimes will overheat and shuts off pump these problems do not pop a code

Clean the throttle body be sure u use throttle body cleaner and not carburetor cleaner also clean ur air filter then take it for a drive in city stop and go then freeway for about 20 mins park it disconnect the battery for about 5mins. Reconnect the battery and then start it up if ur still having problems try replacing the o2 sensor or the iac sensor if its still running like that check to make sure ur fuel lines are not clogged or if ur fuel pump is still good

There is code that does not turn on the service engine soon. have code retrieve.And when the problems occured have fuel pressure check.You have to find out if the problem is electrical or fuel and air .Another way to find it is move engine harness while engine running if it stall could be short to ground or wire cut open

2002 chevy suburban cutting off while driving. Start it up in the morning and i'll cut off within 20-30 mins down the road, once running for a while it's fine. whats the problem???

Fuel Pump may be bad & stops at times

Will only get worse & you'll get stuck somewhere
if that is the issue

Then it could be any number of things that may take
some time to find & several shops until you find one that
can solve something

The hot air from the vents begins to cool down when the vehicle is stopped or slows down.

sounds like a possible plugged heater core, restricting the flow of coolant. those require a special tool to remove, quick disconnect, just remove both hose from the heater core and back flush the heater core with a garden hose, NOTICE DO NOT DO THIS WHILE HOT IT WILL BURN YOU, this can make a mess, flush it both ways untill it flows clean and with even pressure, then refill the coolant and road test the vehicle to see if is changed.

What is the popper gear to drive in when driving a 1996 GMC Suburban

Opinion based question,,Overdrive was intended to benefit larger vehicles on open road rides of distance,,uses less power to maintain steady speed, Drive was intended to be used in more urban settings, red lights pedestrians,stop and starts frequently,,more pull out power to avoid other vehicles in city setting............fuel efficency was the thought. L2 L1 pulling torque or severe condition roads only.

I've only owned the vehicle for 2 days (2004 Hyundai Accent). Driving down the road the road the fuel gauge goes from full to empty...then after 30 mins back to full again. Can you help? Thanks,

Wandering fuel guages are associated with a bad fuel pump/sending unit in the tank. Probably one of the reasons it was for sale. will be about $200 for unit and $100 to change. Check your warranty for coverage.
Good luck

My suburban quit running while driving down the road. Seems like not getting fuel. Changed fuel filter. Still no go. How can I determine if it is a pump.

Ah, the famous Chevy fuel pump death in the fuel tank. This is a HAZARDOUS job. Unless you are a sharp mechanic (I assume you're not or you wouldn't be asking about the fuel pump test) I'd take it to the dealer. Sorry.

Engine shutting down in extreme heat

Mine does the same thing as far as shutting down on long trips---usually 1 1/2 - 2 hours. I don't think it's overheating....it's got something to do with antitheft system
