86 chevy k 10 4x4 5.0
We just bought this truck and it drove home okay and then the next day
while driving it, it would just shut off, no warning at all. after a while it will start up again but after driving for a while again it will shut off. I replace the coil and module but it is still doing it. can anyone tell me what else it could be. -- Message posted using http://www.talkaboutautos.com/group/rec.autos.4x4/ More information at http://www.talkaboutautos.com/faq.html |

It puts a vacuum on the gas tank causing the engine to starve for fuel, then allows it to run again in a few minutes after the vacuum has dissipated. The filter is about $2.00 and sits on the bottom of a charcoal canister usually. Quick test for that is next time it stalls, open the gas cap and see if it starts right back up. Just FYI, electronic stores also sell a freezing spray you can use on parts like the coil or ignition module to see if heat failure is happening rather than toss part$ at it.

You might want to look at the condition of the distributor pickup and shaft,
you'll see a gummy substance on the rear edge of the star tipped points on the distributor shaft, if the shaft magnet failed, or you might see a crack. If you look at the metal cap over the pick up at an angle, you might be able to see the wound coil deteriorating. I hope this helps.
