2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500: engine stalls while driving

Filed Dec 22, 2024 · Fuel system, Transmission · RI

The auxiliary transmission fuel pump system is prone to failure. This makes it so the start/stop feature will not work, as the vehicle will stall when stopped (causing an unsafe situation), and it cannot pass state inspection. The part is entirely unavailable from Chevy, and results in the vehicle being scrapped. There is no way to permanently bypass this system.

I filled up my gas tank on 8-10-2015 and was driving at 70 miles a hour when the engine just shut down. I restarted it and it started missing our real bad, I thought it was maybe some bad gas. I notified the gas station and they started checking the gas out. While they were doing that, I took it to a mech. As they said it was probable the gas, put a can of seafoam and try to use the gas up. I did and it kept getting worse , it would not idle and kept stalling out. I took it to a mech and they found a intermitting wireing problem. It was a "ignition coil wire harness"took to days to find, they replaced it and runs good now..odometer reading was 55315. They checked every thing twice before they found the problem in the 2 days they had it.

Was driving down the road, and stopped at a traffic light. Left from the traffic light ,and the engine just stalled, like it was out of gas. The gas gauge showed that I had a 1\4 tank of gas. So I had it towed home anyway. The next day I went out to start it with no luck. Then I put 2 gallons of gas in the tank, and the truck started right up. Now I know that the gauge is 1\4 of a tank off. Some auto techs have told me that what they call a fuel card that is located on the fuel pump assembly is bad. Just wondering if this is true, because it is a lot cheaper than a fuel pump assembly. Thank you.
