You need to get more information, but one possibility is that the fuel pump stops pumping. THis would result in a stall, but you dash lights would still be on. If, when this occurs, the dash lights go out, then we need to look in the area of the ignition circuits - ignition switch, etc.

1996 mustang dies and then will restart in a few minutes

Hello
The engine and transmission in this cars drive train are fully electronically controlled by a computer called the PCM (Power Train Control Module). Whenever a problem like this occurs the computer stores a record of the problem (there are of course some exceptions to this, like the fuel pump for instance) in the form of a fault code in its memory, to read these fault codes you must have the systems memory scanned with a special tool. Once the fault code(s) are read you then must perform the appropriate diagnostic testing to find and resolve the problem(s) DO NOT REPLACE ANY PARTS UNTIL THE DIAGNOSIS & TESTING IS COMPLETED.

I cant stop my car from gettin hot even tho i changed the water pump and thermostat

Is the car shutting down from overheating? Do you hear the cooling fans coming on at all?

One thing that a lot of people overlook is a sensor that tells the dashboard guage what the temperature of teh coolant is. I have had one go bad on me and my temp gauge told me I was way into the Hot zone within a minute or two of driving the car.

My 1998 aurora shuts off when in drive or when

HELLO,


The cars engine is most likey doing this...yes, not to worry....The engine is shut down by the ignition coil, it is either faulty and may need replacement, also, for better results, try to tune up the spark plugs, and make sure battery is fully charged... This should get Aurora back on his wheels...:)

I have a 1996 Oldsmobile Aurora and when it rains my engine sputters then shuts off. it never started back up until I got the fuel pump replaced which I have done twice. But as soon as it rains again the...

Sounds like your under car plastic panels are missing I would go to your local junk yard and get those covers and put them back under there. I had a hyundai that I took the covers off and when I drove in the rain it would get up in the distributor cap and kill the engine. Also dont drive through flooded areas

When driving my 1996 olds aurora at night, my dashboard and back lights do not come on, only the headlights, after driving between 10 to 20 minutes,, they pop on can you help me

The problem could be in the rheostat that controls how bright the dash lights are on. It has a resistor that absorbs heat. However there are so many different things that can cause this, I would take it to a pro and let them diagnose.

Fuel pump relay

If this happens every time you start your truck and it shuts off the same each time, you just might have a dirty fuel filter only allowing so much gas pass through until it clogs once again. I once had a chevy van, when I would drive it, would go a few miles and engine would shut down.   I would wait 10 or 15 minutes, it would start up and allow me to drive a few more miles then shut down again.  I changed the fuel filter, It was fine after that.
