Check for moisture in the distibutor cap and dry it out. Also check for a spark at the sparkplugs when you get it running. The spark must be blue, not yellow. Replace coil if it's yellow.

SOURCE: 97 GMC Safari Cargo: engine turns but will not start

Safari's tend to have problems with the rotor button on the distributer. Your's may be going bad. At first the van will stall as you described, due to a jarring of the motor, ie: a bump. etc., and then it will restart.

After a while the rotor button will fail completely.

I have had this same problem with two safar's and this is the solution that I have found.

SOURCE: 1994 GMC Sierra 1500 6.5 diesel runs for awhile then stalls

check your pmd switch. i had mine changed and it runs great. the problem is that it gets too hot and burns it up. be sure to move the pmd swith on the firewall away from the injection pump.

99' GMC van "sputters" or stalls around 2k RPM

Usually the failure of the regulator results in a fuel leak either externally where it would be seen or internally where the engine wouldn't run. If the filter hasn't been changed in a while it should be changed. Also, the spark might be bouncing around the wires or cap. I've even seen it bounce out of the coil. That would sound like a clicking noise.

I have a 1999 GMC Safari. Van will drive fine for

see when you say you step on it, and the vehicle stalls, it sounds as if it bein starved of fuel...you step on it, and therefore the demand is there, but not the supply. to prevent itself from over heating, the fuel pump shuts off...after a moment of cooling off, it fires right back up...get it checked at your mechanic...do the strainer on the bottom of the pump, and fuel filter as well...is it time for a tune up yet?

1999 Buck Regal Stalls While Driving

Possible solution to stalling '99 Buick. My '99 Buick Century would die for no apparant reason with no error codes. After 4 days at a Buick dealership and many frustrated mechanics, the problem was corrosion from under the battery location. The wiring harness had small amounts of corrosion internally. Check the wiring under the battery for any corrosion. This has been the problem on more than 1 vehicle that we are aware of. No service bulletin has been issued by Buick.
