While driving the truck keeps stopping, like the fuel just disconnects. Happens 1-2 times in a 30 min drive. There is a small white button, not sure what it's called, that is supposed to reconnect the fuel after a collision. It is located by the passengers feet. Pressing it allows me to restart the engine, every time. Not sure how to stop the stalls though. I have a 1988 Ford Ranger.

I have a 1987 dodge Dakota, Ill drive it for about oh anywhere from 5-15 min. then it just stops running.

OK...an 87 Dakota is 30 years old now.....I'm guessing that there is something in your fuel system that is not letting the tank vent. Try driving the truck with the fuel cap loose or off and see if that helps...I think you may be drawing a vacuum on your fuel tank and it gets to the point where your tank pump can't push/pull any more fuel out of it. Try the above and see what happens...

It appears you may have a bad ignition coil that cuts out after it gets hot. Not uncommon.

1996 Isuzu hombre dies while driving. There is no acceleration, gauges all turn off, and power steering goes out. It will eventually start no problem after 30 mins or so. The fuel pump has been replaced. I...

You should check with Isuzu if high oil pressure will indeed cause a shutdown. In some applications, maybe many of them, the oil pressure sensor is what keeps the fuel pump running after the engine is running.
You will need it diagnosed when it happens for sure. At that time, need to check for spark (ignition failure), and gas (is the pump still turning on?). Shutting down while driving is computer related, usually it's the ignition system or a fuel problem. Check with Isuzu about the oil pressure sensor. Let us know. I would like to know.

Terrano vg30e electrical issue...

first thing to do is to have the alternator checked out as the fuse blowing may indicate an internal short and therefore the battery is not being charged ( 3 starts and needs a jump)

2000 VW Beetle dies occasionally and won't start for a while

run a scan tool on it and make sure there are no codes, if there is codes address those problems first, if no codes.. next time it won't start check for fuel preasure. it is probably a fuel pump getting ready to go out or they may be a large amount of something other than gas clogging the pick-up sock at bottom of fuel pump.

Security SystemProblem.

clarify me(my home languege is not english),starter is not turning(work)!?and you have a good battery so the TWICE(imobiliser) is the problem!
But if the starter turns,can be crankshaft sensor,fuel pump,fuel pump relay.
Connecting the TECH2 is the best to start diagnostic
