2008 Trailblazer Engine Stalls and Dies.

Hi, I have a 2008 Trailblazer with less than 6000 miles on the clock. On two occasions now without warning the engine has died. I have had too wait around 30 minutes and then it will start and run fine. All gauges read normal. Can you give any guidance?

This vehicle is under warranty including towing. There is probably a malfunction within the fuel delivery or ignition system of the vehicle. Sometimes electronic items break down hot,then start working again once cooled.I would let GM take care of this matter under factory warranty

I had to diagnose my own truck. It ended up being a bad ECI/ECM? the main computer was shot! I had 7k miles and it died on me 138 times over 4 months hundreds of hours spendt online researching this problem. I couldnt understand why no codes were set/held in the computer and how 3 different chevy auth dealer svc centers couldnt fix or pin point even GESSTIMATE what the issue was. I called the local news, consulted with attorneys, etc. I hate GM, my truck has been fine since they replaced it 2 months ago! Good luck!!

Saturn vue will start but will only stay runnuing about twenty minutes then stalls wont start

Does the car loose power before stalling or does it simply die without warning? If it loses power first, you're likely looking at a fuel pump or fuel system problem. If it just dies, you probably have an ignition problem. Does the check engine light come on before it dies?

If you have a electronic dash you can turn your car over 5 times without starting it and it will give you the codes. This sounds like possible vacuum hose,distributor cap wires and plugs. Hope this helps.

2006 trailblazer 4x4 4.2, stalls while driving. Engine shuts down, whenever and wherever it feels like it. No pattern other than about every 2-5 miles, has worsened to this point over last 10 days....

ok well try this when it stalls see if spark is present and if it is not and it cools down and starts then you might need to replace ignition control module good luck
