Stalling when started, if the truck has been run for a while

Asked by ChevyS10ManVirginia Apr 24, 2019 at 05:53 PM about the 1998 Chevrolet S-10 RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Just bought a 1998 S10, had tires, alignment, and
oil change done. 260k miles. Ok, i didn't buy it my
son did before he bought his new car. I want to
make it reliable and perhaps restore a little bit at a
time. This problem occurs when the truck has been
driven and is stopped. My son would say if i dont
let it rest long enough. They replaced the air filter.
To me it acts kinda like it is flooded any change in
the throttle causes it to stall. it is a manual
transmission.

Try a tuneup but you may have an injection problem.

So, if i unplug the MAF sensor when it is doing it what should i expect? I checked visually for air leaks and it seems to not have any problems when the engine is cool.

I have an '03 S-10, 4 banger. It starts up and runs 100% of the time, except for after it has sat out all night when it's been raining. I don't believe it has a distributor cap, so is it just the plug wires? Thanks for the help. 1 Answer

I changed the wires around 40k miles ago, but it has developed a problem starting after heavy rains, or snow around when parked outside over night. It starts up perfectly hot or cold, as long as ther...

I have a 1987 Chevy Pickup with a crate engine. I start it and it runs for about 15 -20 seconds and then shuts off. I have replace the air intake hoses, fuel lines, fuel filter. When it was turned on then started to idle low i dumped gas into it and it shut off immediately. Could it be getting too much gas? Would that mean the carb is clogged possibly? 4 Answers
