What causes the engine to shut off while driving?
1 Answer
John answered 8 months ago
Fuel filter may be dirty if it starts up almost immediately then it may be a really dirty tank causing the filter sock to clog. A filter generally takes anywhere from 10 mins to an hr before restartup. A dirty fuel filter sock can drop the crap almost as soon as the pump shuts off allowing an immediate restart. Hook up a fuel pressure gauge and drive it around with the guage visible from inside. I'm guessing it has a 4.3L TBI in it? The pressure should NEVER drop below 9psi it should stay between 10-13 psi.
