    Hi, OK so I have a 96 Chevy Tahoe which has an O2 sensor out..... Which I was told that shouldn't be the reason for my Tahoe not running right. I turn on my Tahoe and it starts right up no problem but it use to take me about 20 to warm up before it would go anywhere because every time I would put it in gear... Any gear it would turn right off... A studdard then off. I had put in a new rear differential in it and when I got it back from the shop it started up and within minutes I would put it in gear and damn it was running like a champ it would go and I had no problems till one day I was driving on the highway and my Tahoe turned off as I was getting off the interstate. It went back to having to wait 20 or so minutes to get my truck to get into gear to now it won't go anywhere. It starts but won't stay on if I put it into any gear. I hope this helps.

SOURCE: car dies when you put it in gear

I don't know if this will do it for you but I experienced a similar issue. During my efforts a GM mechanic told me that these engines had very tight injector parameters, he recommended I try to use a GM product for cleaning the injectors. It is a little costly, about $25.00 for a black bottle, but I put one in my gas tank and my problem went away. So, every six months I put one in the gas tank and have not have a problem.

Get the real thing at your local Chevrolet dealer.

Good luck

Sounds like a bent fork in the transfer case. It is a common problem with your truck. The transfer case is a np236. If it just recently started doing this, the rebuild will cost around $800. If the 4wd has been acting up for a while, the planetary will probably need changed, which is another $200.

Why does my car shut down while driving?

There might be a problem with the alternator, specifically the diode trio that is inside the alternator. Have your charging system checked. You can do it yourself if you have a voltmeter. Start car and check voltage across the battery terminals. You should get 14.5 volts or higher.

What causes my 4 wheel drive to not engage when my shifter is working but the indicator light does not come on and i get nothing

Likely the great selector switch which is located on the side of your transmission is shot. Sometimes called a range switch. It turns on the gear lights on your dash P,R,N,3,2,1. But also puts your truck in the proper gear. Also engages other components in the ignition. Chech the connector plug for corrosion, if clean may be the switch is gone.

I have a 88 grand am Se 2.0 OHC turbo, automatic the turbo does not work. my problem is that it runs great for about 1/2 hour driving until it gets warmed up. I come to a light it starts to surge and...

The TCC solenoid in the transmission needs to be replaced. It is under the side cover. It controls the converter to lock up for better fuel mileage. If you want to drive car until you get it fixed you can un-plug the connector going to the transmission on the front of transmission. This will keep it from going to lock up mode and keep it from stalling until you can fix it. Common problem.
