Why did my Tahoe quit running and it wont start?

we have the same problem all started after we replace the factoty stereo ,now everything is locked.

There is a magnetic switch in the steering lock/ key switch. If it is weak it will do that. If it dose leave the key on for 10 min. The light will quit blinking, turn key off and start motor. This is a dealer fix. Parts are up ward of $700. I just wait the 10 and go on my way

If your car won\'t start after running out of gas it could be that the fuel pump was damaged.

lack of fuel

check the relay for the engine control computer, and the tps and maf sensors

check ignition

Turn the key on,DO NOT try to start wait 3 seconds are until you hear the pump quite then turn the key off and wait 1 minute then turn key back on again until you hear the pump quit again. Repeat these steps about 4 times. Then start the engine. If you can't here the fuel pump running then the fuel pump may have went out.

put gas in it!

It could be because its running out of battery

Call the person who repaired the car and tell them what is going on. But what you write above makes no sense. You say, "(wont turn over) (wants to start) by (wont stay running)" If it won't turn over, how does it want to start, and how can it be running in the first place? Did they replace the fuel filter. If not, they should have.

check the timing chain? valves moving, distributor turning? Don't forget the fuel pump.

you can but it wont stay running if the battery is dead

dirty carb bowl or water in the carb

well you bloddy air head, because it needs gas to start!

Check the fuel pressure on the Fiero to start with. It sounds like it could be starving for fuel.

Start by checking your fuel filter.

in most cases a bad crank sensor or cam sensor

Fuel, or spark. Most likely fuel. Now, is it the pump, or the filter.

have a pontiac 6000 2.5 motor and it wont stay running

Check the idle sensor if you have one.

Maybe the fuel injectors got clogged.

bad alternator, dead battery.

fuel filter may be clogged,fuel pump may be weak.

Look for moisture inside the distributer cap. If there is you may be able to dry it and get the vehicle started, but it will need to be replaced.

No it wont but I am looking for a 95 tahoe tranny

It would help to have more info like year, make and model but, it sounds like the fuel pump quit.

The Optispark distributor is notorious for causing this problem.

Replace the fuel pump.

Type your answer here... It could possibly be the ignition switch.

It could possibly be the timing belt. Chevrolet recommends replacing it every 60,000 miles.

maybe an ECU problem

Answer to the car died and wont restart it could be your timing belt

look on your fuel rail near the motor there is a bleeder to remove the air

Try adding more gas...

Surely, one can !!! with strong will power.

make sure battery is good or the selinoid or connections clean the post rewire if you take breather off and smell fuel your getting gas filter is not clogged check your alternator change air filter or fuel filter if needed also fouled out plugs and wires could cause it not to fire and start

My car starts and runs fine .Yours may need a fuel filter or pump.

Sounds like the alternator isn't working at all. Have it checked. Good Luck!!

A 1995 Ford F150 will start to die after running for about 15 minutes if the fuel or electrical system have a failure. A bad battery or electrical system will also prevent it from restarting.

get a woman to start it up for you ;) i really dont think you should be putting this question in cars... lol

Clean out the carburetor with gas, the reason it wont keep running is its not getting enough gas through the carburetor.

Found the problem. OBDII gave me a fault code. P1694. It was the Crankshaft Position Sensor. The sensor was shorting out which caused the gauges to not function.

yes so check your transmission. If you have not been running the car latley like 1 week it wont run good. Another thing is your battery might not work if not running for a while. Get your batterey checked at a place like Kragen or a macanic shop. They will test it for you.

Check the cars ignition coil and crank sensor. Either of these could be overheating and causing the car to not start until it sits for a while.

For some reason i think my anti lock system is on because my tahoe wont turn on anymore can somebody help me

You can never over fill it with gas. It might be possible that the fuel pump in the tank has quit on you. It might be other problems also, electric...........and so on.

You start by determining the reason why it won't start. Ignition, compression, and fuel... you need all of them in order to get the vehicle running.

There may be many reasons why a 97 Plymouth Breeze won't start after running it out of gas. Even after you've put gas back in, if the spark plugs are bad or the battery is dead, the car will not start.

I'm guessing it is fuel related, you may have a plugged up fuel filter or a faulty fuel pump.

we have a ford escort lx and it wont start without the gas throttle half way then it starts but is very rough but wont idle by itself
