You should check on your battery cables,chasis cables, and engine bay cables related to your ground or bad connection in between connectors, terminals or hubs.

SOURCE: ENGINE DIES AT RANDOM.

have you replaced oxygen sensors they can cause this as it may read improper fuel in the exhaust, also try throttle posistioning sensor, also MAP sensor but to make sure you should have your car diagnosed by a shop with OBDI diagnostics, or you can purchase scanner fairly cheap your self its fairly easy, and for price of scanner you could come ot cheaper then a repair shop charges to scan it. Also there is a self diagnostic chapter in repair manuals that is called troubleshooting section also contains codes and methods of diagnostics.

SOURCE: replaced fuel pump, and it starts now but runs

I would next check the fuel pressure regulator if the pump was not pumping, or the filter was plugged some of the leftover waste in the lines from one or the other of these issues may have plugged the regulator causing inconsistent fuel pressure that would cause the engine to run rough, or possibley cut out fuel entirely, causing the vehicle to die

Could possibly be the anti theft system. This system can actually turn off your fuel injectors 1-5 seconds after starting. http://vatspasslockpasskeysecurityhelp.yolasite.com/

I have a 86 Toyota 4Runner, it will not stay running. It will start right away and run for about 5 seconds and then die and won't start unless I leave it alone for an hour or so. It cranks and wil

Good explanation of symptoms.Thank you.




No assumptions.
Diagnose problem.
Pinch off the fuel return line.
Check fuel pressure--I don't wanna!PITA!
The fuel pump won't run if the fuel filter is plugged up.
Toyota's have a gas tank drain plug!!!!!!!!!
My '84 takes a 3/8 " ratchet. Cool.

There may be a fuel pump relay that is toast,but I suspect the filter,off hand.
A plugged filter will overwork the pump and cause the engine to run rich.

It won't die when pulling the relay because it has another power path to the fuel pump through the oil pressure switch . Fuel Pump Electrical Circuits Description and Operation watch this video on fuel pump control , shows chrysler first , ford ,then gm . wait for gm an he explains the oil pressure switch . Plus when it won't start ,don't guess or theorize ! Test what's missing ? check for spark , no spark check ignition system , coil's , ignition module , crank sensor etc... has spark ,do a fuel pressure test etc... don't think computer , when it won't start does the check engine light come on with the key on run not start . If light is lit ,nothing wrong with the cumputer . If want to fix cars you really should take some automotive classes . Test don't guess .Watch some other videos crank no start videos etc...

My 98 Chevy Blazer won't stay running. I've replaced the starter ignition switch, fuel filter, and fuel pump. Turns over and dies.

Is there a light on that says security after this happens? Might be flashing? If so, check out this link for info and DO IT YOURSELF solutions.

Maybe you have a short in one of the wires at the fuel pump. If the pressure was low, it would probably stay low. There should be a bleeder that looks just like a tire valve. If not, remove the line at your filter and hook the gauge in there. It don't really matter where you put it, it should read the same anywhere. I guess if you wanted to spend the xtra time, ideally you could mount the gauge in the cab(run a "t" off of your fuel line) that way when it dies, you will see the gauge and be able to tell instantly.
