99 Killed

Hi Guys,

It happen to me last night when I slow down on a stop light my 99 Rodeo kill on me, pull over and put it in nutrual restarted and run fine. It also happen to me on a few days ago when tried to park. I am wondering where should I start to look at since it run fine now. Please help me with this one. Thank in advance.

Could be anything from bad gas to bad spark plug, loose spark plug, clogged fuel filter, etc....

I would start with the question of whether or not you've stopped for gas at a station you don't normally use; OR a cheap gas station??

Had this happen on me last year at King Soopers gas station....used it a few times without issue, then suddenly one day, out of the blue, truck just flat stopped running AT 65MPH ON THE HIGHWAY! Talk about frightening.

Stopped and picked up some fuel system cleaner, filled her up with Shell gas - what I had always used before, and hit the road....truck was good as new within matter of minutes.

Mine has done that twice, and both times it was a bad intake manifold gasket.

Classic! Intake manifold gasket leak.

Hi Guys,

My truck just died on last night again when I exit a freeway and CEL came on, brought to AutoZone and here is code they found P0101. Can any one tell me what is this code for. I hope some thing small went wrong with it. Thanks. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

I don't know what exactly the code is but the P01 part tells you its Powertrain, Generic, fuel and air metering. I just wanted to say that I had a 99 rodeo that would do this a couple of years ago. It started out innocent enough and eventually would not restart. I learned to get out reach my arm up by the right rear wheel and yank the wires going to the fuel pump. It would always remedy the problem. Of course I eventually yanked too hard as the problem got worse, and I got frusterated. Eventually I got a whole new tank with a fuel pump from a junk yard and replaced it all including the last six inches of wire and the plug. Fixed it like new. Thats all I know.

OOps!, I meant LEFT REAR WHEEL, sorry.
