Hey I am not for sure what is going on I just purchased a 01 rodeo from an auction so I know very little about the vehicle. WHile I am driving it, it will just cut off for no reason it does not miss or anything no warnings it just cuts off, but restarts like a charm. It has 67,000 miles on it and has a slight problem with the idle as well even when your foot is on the gas the rpms are moving---they just dont seem to be in sync with the speed at all times while driving.....I am female and no nothing about vehicles can anyone give me some insight. I did use some fuel injector cleaner from auto zone and some octane booster for the rattly valves.

The idling/stalling issue sounds like symptoms of intake manifold gasket crack, common on the 98+ yrs. That truck may or may not be under warranty for that, not sure.

For the "rattly valves", I think, not positive here, that the 01's are mechanically adjustable on the V6. Look at your owners manual to see if any adjustments are needed at a certain mileage, possibly 60K. If so, definitely get that scheduled.

If your valves/lifters are hydraulic = NON-adjustable, let me know, I have more info on the hydraulics.

You didn't say what engine you have?

FWIW, octane booster will not help the valves any, in fact, I don't think it's good for an engine to have that particular additive. :confused:

sounds like the intake manafold gasket. Classic problem. See the FAQ's for more info.

then report back here if you continue to have that shut off problem.

Just Wanted To Follow Up And Let Everyone Know That It Was A 8.00 Fuel Filter That Was Causing My Problems----
