Car Stall problems of the 1997 Chevrolet Silverado

Three problems related to car stall have been reported for the 1997 Chevrolet Silverado. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 08/14/2002

Vehicle would misfire and stall when reaching high temperature. Problem is due to a faulty fuel injector. Dealer and manufacturer have been notified. Feel free to provide any further information.

2 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 04/10/1999

In approximately a five week period, my truck has failed to start twice and died once as I crossed a busy intersection. Both times the truck failed to start, the dealer installed a new fuel pump, (now on my third pump) and after the vehicle died in the intersection while moving about 20 mph, a new distributor cap and rotor was installed but the failure could also be fuel pump related. In both cases the mechanic stated on the repair order that the wiring had shorted out. The service manager indicates that he has no solutions and this is not an uncommon occurance. The fact that one never knows if he will successfully make it across several lanes of traffic without the engine quitting is inherently unsafe. A call to Chevrolet customer service indicates that they are very sorry but they really don't know just what to tell me.

3 Car Stall problem

Intermittently vehicle stalled. Dealer has inspected vehicle three times. Manufacturer has been notified.
