I have a chevy S10 2000, with a V6 engine and it's four wheel drive. It sat for awhile and I replaced the fuel pump and filter and it has ran great. But whenever I go on freeways or drive in the down town area with lots of stops and goes my truck will stall. It only happens when it's hotter outside but I check the temp gage and it's always under half. I have no idea what is wrong with it.

Chevy Trucks, Blazers, S10 pickup and the like will vapor lock ecspecially the 2000 models. Do not tighten the gas cap past 1 click. There is a tube that runs from the top of the tank down and this gets hot and collapses or burns in half. We just bought a reinforced rubber tube cut it to lengh and use it instead of part and it's worked grat for 2 years so far.

Since you've replaced many of the usual suspects (fuel pump etc.) you might want to look into testing or simply replacing the crankshaft position sensor or the camshaft position sensor. If you intermittently lose one the these signals it would cause the problem you describe.

1997 Ford F-150 4.2 V6 boggs down going up hill and stepping on gas.

Check or replace fuel filter again. You could have had a lot of sediment in your tank. If it ran good for a week, that's where you need to start figuring out what was replaced during that time. If you can, check fuel pressure at schraeder valve on fuel rail.

Hi, I believe you hit the nail on the head. Black stuff in the filter Meaning that there is something in the tank. You have to drop the tank and clean it out. Good luck.

Engine dies after driving awhile have to wait for awhile then will start back up? 1984 chevy p/u two wheel drive

sounds like your fuel pump is going out- Happens after a while- the pump will operate and after it gets hot it wont pump the proper pressure and the engine will stall out and be impossible to start until the pump cools then it starts up again

I have 1990 chevy pickup 1500 4 wheel 350 eng. throttle body inj. the truck started missing and stalling i changed fuel filter and it ran good for 2 days then started the same thing so i changed fuel pump...

It sounds like the engine is pulling fuel from the tank, and not replacing it with air, causing a vacuum to build in the tank. The vacuum, may build to the point that it resists the fuel pump's efforts to **** fuel from it. If the vacuum is sufficient, it may collapse the tank, or expand the fuel enough for the engine manifold vacuum to **** raw gas into the evaporative emissions control system, hence the cannister.

Replacing the fuel pump, and filter will both break this vacuum, and make it run well for a few more miles, until the vacuum builds again.

The tank is usually vented to relieve pressure and vacuum through the gas cap.

Basically, sounds like a bad gas cap.

Try driving with the cap loose or removed. If that fixes it, buy a new cap. Preferably a locking one, as the amount of fuel these trucks hold is pretty tempting to less than honest folks. My 1990 C2500 has a 34 gallon tank.

Coil?? with the other symptoms, how'd you come up with that?
