Sounds like its being starved. check the fuel line and filter. also the fuel pump. could be the pump wnem it gets warmed up not giving pressure or the filter is blocked. same for the air filter. could also be too much air is in the mix broken vacuum line or gasket on manifold.. if any hissing sounds can be herd with engine running that is the sound of leaking air into engine. some times you cannot hear it or see it, you will need to spray carb cleaner over different areas if the engine sound changes or cuts out itt were the leak is.

SOURCE: Engine sputters as the car accelerates before it

Check your MAF Sensor on your air intake you may need to replace this sensor some are cheap you can go to Auto Zone or any auto parts store to order this or take it to a mechanic and have them diagnose this problem.
Or check your air intake hoses etc if they are loose or just a little your engine will hesitate or run too lean and the engine light may go on.

SOURCE: 2003 chevy impala ls starts then stalls

I have replaced the radiator in my 2003 Chevrolet Impala LS. The car started running hot and shut down. Took it to a radiator shop and found a crack in the radiator. I have replaced 2 thermostats in the car already. I noticed water running from under my car today and it seems it was coming back out of the overflow. I am stumped as to what is going on with this car.

SOURCE: I have a 2002 Chevy Impala, it starts great in the

Engine is difficult to start when cold

  1. Check the battery condition, battery state of charge and starter motor current draw. Replace the battery if marginal and the starter motor if the current draw is beyond specification.
  2. Check the battery cable condition. Clean the battery terminals and replace corroded or damaged cables.
  3. Check the fuel system for proper operation. A fuel pump with insufficient fuel pressure or clogged injectors should be replaced.
  4. Check the engine's tune-up status. Note the tune-up specifications and check for items such as severely worn spark plugs; adjust or replace as needed. On vehicles with manually adjusted valve clearances, check for tight valves and adjust to specification.
  5. Check for a failed coolant temperature sensor, and replace if out of specification.
  6. heck the operation of the engine management systems for fuel and ignition; repair or replace failed components as necessary.
Engine is difficult to start when hot
  1. Check the air filter and air intake system. Replace the air filter if it is dirty or contaminated. Check the fresh air intake system for restrictions or blockage.
  2. Check for loose or deteriorated engine grounds and clean, tighten or replace as needed.
  3. Check for needed maintenance. Inspect tune-up and service related items such as spark plugs and engine oil condition, and check the operation of the engine fuel and ignition management system.

Why is my 2003 chevy impala stalling while driving or while idling for awhile and not starting again for several hours?

Have fuel pressure checked. Check for spark when it won't re-start by using a tool designed to check spark or hold ignition wire barely away from module , while someone tries to start engine in short bursts. Try not to make contact with vehicle besides this hand and keep clear of moving engine parts. Best to use rubber glove there is a chance you may be shocked.

1994 Chevy Camaro, 6 Cylinder, stalling problem

Try cleaning the throttle body and the idle speed control valve, they get full of sludge and this causes stalling. Use a product called CRC Throttle valve cleaner on both parts, DO NOT USE CARB CLEANER IT WILL RUIN THE PARTS.

2003 chevy impala engine stalls whats the issues

When the actuator malfunctions, the engine gets no signal for idling speed and stops working. Clogged or restricted EGR Valve: If your EGR valve is clogged, dirty, or defective it can cause your car to stall, idle erratically, or sputter, depending on whether it is stuck open or closed. I would start there.

Why does my 2005 chevy impala die when i come to a stop?

This could be a lot of things. IF you can start it normally and it runs fine till you drive it and then whey you stop it stalls, it could be the torque converter is locking up and not allowing the engine to idle. IT could be the catalytic converter is plugging up.

1992 Chevy S10 2.5L-4 cylinder. just started today outta no were. it idles really rough and pops then when i step on the gas it sputters and pops also smokes a little. help please..

My 1990 S10 pick-up had a similar problem too. It would start up fine (while the engine was cold) then once the engine warmed up it would idle very rough, sputter, and even stall out. My grandpa and I found what was wrong finally. The fuel distributor had been cracked, so when the engine warmed up it would miss (giving either too much or not enough fuel). So I recommend that you check that. Hope this helps.
