Crazy engine issue

DirtyBoy · 01-06-2013, 10:50 PM

Ok so I was driving on the highway at about 45mph or so cause of a slow poke. When they exit I puched it and when the truck down shifted it instantaneously fell on its face. No power was being delivered, no engine light, no message, and it sputtered until it stalled out. When I restarted it there was no problem at all. It felt as if the fuel had been cut off. Has anyone experienced this or did I come across some other safety feature?

Could have been torque management if you don't have a tune that removed it.

I had a similar problem with my 2006 Canyon. I limped to a gas station and filled up with premium, Problem salved. Bad gas

Torque management is non existent. I've gone through most of the tank and I'm down to 1/4 tank and all of a sudden this happens. It felt as if the fuel just stopped feeding

Sounds like water in the tank

I wouldn't say water in the gas or youd be spitting and sputtering.... fuel pump goin bad maybe?

Alright I'm with these guys then that it's most likely a fuel issue. How old is your fuel filter?

No message so could not be the traction control
No power loss nor misfire so I think its low probable could it be water in the tank.
I think is more related with the fuel pump, malfunction, poor electrical connection, short, etc, etc.

I'll second the fuel filter/pump. Also check the intake and intake manifold for leaks just in case.

well, no matter what i do, i cannot make the same thing happen at all... idk what it is but i guess replacing the fuel filter wouldnt hurt, it is from the factory and with 85k on it

damn im lazy

xkmacx86 · 01-08-2013, 12:28 AM

05 should be under the truck. If it were in the tank id agree with your laziness

It literally takes 2 min to change the filter, its right under where the driver sits.

Just make sure to remove the 15 amp fuse for the fuel pump and run your truck until it stops. That means that all the fuel pressure is dropped to 0
