I have a 99 Mercedes ml430 that cuts off while driving or a stop light and won't start again for about 30 mins. to an hour. No codes were present on the diagnostics check so what could this be?

This will be hard to determine in the car. I would recommend a bench test to see what happens out of car. If it does it on a bench this is a service issue.

SOURCE: durango cuts off while driving

hi, sounds to me that either the fuel pump is going out or the fuel pump relay is acting up. the cheapest way to check the relay first by simply swaping the relay with another relay in the power distribution box under the hood (swap it with the A/C relay)

SOURCE: Engine cuts out and wont restart for maybe 20/30 minutes

honestly, I've not seen an alfa romeo here in the philippines but i think you problem is partly electrical and the electronic side of the car. something on your car is heating up so much that it cuts the power to the ignition once it has. it is a possibility that a damaged ignition coil or a faulty computer box(if your car has one) or the control system that regulates the spark distribution system or the injectors(if your car is fuel injected type).

2000 Grand Vitara breaksdown, backfires and dies while driving after about 30 minutes. Starts again in about an hour. Changed fuel pressure regulator. Made no difference.

The check engine will be on if the key is on but engine not running . This is normal. If the check engine goes out when the engine starts there are no codes present . Did you check the fuel filter . Sometimes when a filter is dirty there is sedement laying in the filter canister . When the pump starts working the flow picks up the sedement and plugs any remaining open screen and stops the fuel completely . The engine stops . When the flow stops the sedement falls back allowing flow again. and the engine will run for another while . If the filter is old it should be changed anyway . Also when the engine stops check to see if there is spark at the spark plugs while cranking the engine .

2000 Mercedes CLK..I think it is a vapor lock problem..car starts as usual but 5-7 minutes later it just shuts down..happened in traffic..so I dont dare to drive it..Afterwards it doesnt start unril...

Sounds like the crankshaft position sensor needs to be replaced. They are a common problem with the Mercedes. That sensor is the one that the engine control module looks at to see if the engine is running. When they get hot and stop producing a signal the engine control module thinks the engine is not running and shuts of the fuel. After waiting awhile they cool down and the vehicle will start up again. I've changed many of them when I worked at the dealer. Tricky part is when there working and the car is running there will be no check engine light on or code stored. Usually will only have the code when the car won't start. Let me know what you end up finding out on it but that would be the first place to look and probably the cheapest.

Engine stop after running 30 to 40 mins. Start back but only cranking. Wait about 30mins to 1 hours then can start. Engine symbol Display defective light still 'on'.

Hi :) Sound like long enought for a electronic componet to cool down check the coil pack and the spark controller and the cam sensor.Have a mechanic check the codes that are making the light stay on and that will tell you what is wrong.

My chevrolet tracker 99 starts and I drive for 10 min. Then when I stop the engine it doesn't start again unless Ihave my foot on the accelerater if I lift my foot it stops. I have to wait for 20 - 30 min....

Is there any services engine lights on.? it sounds as if it is flooding , it is also possible that the TPS. is faulty . the cheapest and best way to start is to have system scanned,for codes,that can be done for free at most Auto Zone part's stores,if you get more then just a simple code for the temp sensor , then you will need to have a more in depth testing , feel free to check back here for more info once ,you git codes. Thank you for using Fixya.
