On my 95 gmc pu, i,m having problems with the engine all of a sudden shutting down. i have replaced the MAP sensor and

A electronic part that goes inside the distributor [don't know what its called] but I still have the same problem ,its shuts down. can this problem be found in the ECM?

    I had that same problem until I ran into another problem but for that problem I redid All 12 main points where is ground. in the engine. It ended up being the shoe string looking ground wire that's towards the left front wheel barrel in the bottom connected to nothing really. Clean it up you can reuse it but put it on one of the back of the firewall in the middle and connected to the block engine blocks from where and tighten the bolts over in the area

You didn't say what engine size, but no matter for me. That sounds like the ignition control module-about the size of a matchbook, and 4 or 5 wires to it. GM often put them in the base of the distributor.
The PCM controls spark timing by signaling to the ignition control module. This module controls the ignition coil, it cuts the primary current to the coil (when the pcm signals it), so that high voltage spark is generated from the coil.

SOURCE: 2004 GMC Envoy has trouble idling

Try the fuel filter. Sounds like the engine might be running rough due to weak fuel pressure. Its cheaper to replace, especially if it's still original from 04. Try running some injector cleaner through a couple of tanks of high octane gas.

My 1192 gmc sierra idles correctly with the map sensor unplugged

did you clean the port before you replaced the iac valve, and measure the pntle before putting it back in, whenyou buy a new iac valve you can't assume the pintle(needle) is correctly placed. the pintle shldnt exceed 1 1/8 inch past the body seat, it can be pshed in by hand, then after it's pu t back in cycle ignition on for 10 second (do not start) then turn ign off for atleast 10 seconds, this allows the iac valve to reset. then start engine.

I HAVE A 1988 GMC 5.7 V8 PU...IDLES UP & DOWN WHEN COLD...SURGES...NO POWER COLD...RUNS GOOD AFTER IT WARMS UP...NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT...TIMING CHECKS OK...PARTS ALREADY CHANGED:...COIL-PLUGS-PLUG...

Remove the vacuum lines on the bottom front of the throttle body with the engine off. Check each hose connection with a nail; small screwdriver or a small drill bit. Make sure they are not clogged. If they are clean them out carefully. If they are not clogged, then check to make sure the vacuum lines aren't obstructed. I refer to your idling up and down as hunting. Reconnect the vacuum lines and start the engine. If it idles smoothly, your found your problem. Good luck.

2001 jimmy..engine starts and runs for 6sec then shuts off,starts again and shuts off I can rev engine but after 6sec it shuts off...I have changed coil and I am going to change knock sensor.what do you...

Huh??? Why change the Knock Sensor? The Knock Sensor is not going to cause your engine to shut down. Sounds like a Cam Sensor or MAP Sensor problem to me. Is the computer setting any codes?

Sometimes you can diagnose a messed-up MAP sensor by unplugging it and starting the engine. If the MAP is causing your problem, it will start and run. (It won't run very good, but it should idle OK)

If you have a 4.3L engine, I have seen Cam Sensors cause a start and stall condition. (part of the distributor assembly)

My engine shuts off while I am driving and then takes about 20 minutes before it will start back up. It also will start up and then shut off before I can get moving. Finally when I am driving sometime it...

the very 1st thing for you to do is have the OBD 2 electronic engine control system tested for trouble codes, whenever you have a stall like this there is almost always a code that is stored for the problem, which in your case will most likely be a crankshaft position sensor, but do the test.
