There is most likely something in the gas tank. When the car starts the fuel pump starts sucking in fuel and when the trash gets to it the gas will not be able to flow through the clogged pump so the car stalls. When it stalls the fuel pump stops suction and the trash comes out allowing it to start again.

What is the problem with your 1998 Jeep when it just stalls and start up again?

It can be a number of things. You need to start from scratch and eliminate things. Start with the basics- fuel and power. Make sure it is getting fuel and make sure it is getting spark.


Why wont 1988 ford econoline van stay running?

I am not sure of the entire problem whether it starts all the time and stalls occasionally or does it shut off as if you just turned the key off? If it is the latter, check the ignition module near the distributor. If it is running try tapping the module and if it stops, that may be your problem.

Why would my 1998 ford contour stall when you slow down or turn corners there is no warning it just stalls but it will start right back up again?

Had same problem in my 2000 contour. The problem was with a bad wire on my fuel pump. Every time i turned a sharp corner car would stall. I replaced fuel pump and no probs since.


Your 88 1500 stalls when you are backing up It stumbles and stalls every time Sometimes when you put it in reverse it just sits there It won't move on it's own?

Sounds like you might have a torque converter problem. It could also just be that you need a new transmission. Does it shutter when you back up? What do you mean when you say that it stumbles?


What do you do when your model train just vibrates on the rails?

First start by disconnecting the drive motor to see if it runs - if it does, then you will need to go through the gears (and if steam, the drive rods) and working forward from the motor until it stalls again. This is a common problem with the lower priced engines and usually it is in the gear box.

It would help to know when it stalls? leaking air hoses in the engine compartment can be a problem. There are a number of them about the engine and it is about time you just replace all of them.
