Possible Service Engine Soon Light, Engine Stalling, or Hard Starting

Engine, May 18, 2009

RepairPal Expert Overview:
The RTV seal on the fuel system control modules may allow water to enter into the module. Water in the module can cause a short, which may cause hard starting, a crank-no start condition, or stalling, and the Service Engine Soon light may come on. If the engine stalls unexpectedly, there is an increased risk of a crash. Dealers will replace the fuel system control module free of charge. The recall began on May 18, 2009. The GM recall number is 08411.

SOURCE: I have a 1995 Chevy

i have a 95 k2500 350 just put in a new tranny and less than 90days later there is little to no pressure. Thinking it is a bad pump but could be the ecu thing as well since the previous tranny went out the same way. If you know where to locate it any help would be great! c = 2wd k = 4wd

SOURCE: Gear Jerking in Camaro z28

first of all you need to fix the motor mounts drive shaft hangers and the lower control arm bushings and if you still have a transmission problem . it is in the valve body in the transmission you need to bring it to a good transmission shopas this will be a major tranny overhaul

SOURCE: 1997 chevy suburban automatic. has no reverse but

you need a used trans, or a rebuild, but dont let a rebuilder fill you full of ****, all you need is the reverse drum, and possibly some clutches. the teeth on the reverse drum strip off, and thats when you lose reverse.

Hesiates on starting & missing, the gear shift for drive there is a light that goes on while driving will not go off without turning off the engine. I ran the codes on it sometime ago and it said

Check your fuel pressure. Sometimes your fuel pump will give to much or to little fuel to the engine. Changing fuel pressure regulator will solve the problem. What is your RPM needle doing is it pulsating or going up or down...Please let me know so we can solve the problem.

1998 taurus stalls out when shifting to first, when you get it to go the entire time its driving it is jerking and hopping down the road. Doesn't stall out at red lights or when you stop. Could it be the...

Check the spark plugs, and wires. If you see nothing wrong here, it may be getting just enough of gas to keep it running (ALMOST CUTTING OFF, BUT A SHOT OF GAS BARELY KEEPS IT GOING) this could cause it to jump and hop. If this is the case then it may need a fuel system cleaning, one of the injectors may not be functioning at the right PSI. I don't think it would be the ignition coil.
