Hey, i figured i would post this hopefully one of you guys have had or know what this could be. Randomly when i floor the car, itll get up to a high rpm and just shut off. Its happened in 1st 2nd and 3rd gear. Anybody have any input?

 

Probably your crappy tune. Have you changed the fuel filter since you've had the car Sean? Sorry I didn't get back to you on this sooner, I just started my motor build so things have been a little crazy.

 

Im probably gonna change out the fuel filter, spark plugs, and air filter thursday or friday. Hopefully that'll get rid of it. You have a part number for the fuel filter???

 

Uh no I don't off the top of my head. Look it up on crateenginedepot.com

If the fuel filter doesn't solve it then I will bring down the laptop and see if the scanner picks anything up .

 

Yea, i was tryin to mess around with a bunch of hot chicks in a mustang and my ****** car died, ***** gotta stop lol.

 

haha ya, change out that fuel filter and we will go from there =D.

 

fuel filter. acdelco number GF824

gm number 22734980

 

The Fuel filter has been changed. nothin different. Car still does it. I have no ****** clue whats going on. Hey Zach when u come to chicago.

 

My car was doing the same thing for a while I had the dealership remove the carbon from the throttle body and do a general cleaning and it stopped I hope you are running premium.

 

Lol, im running premium and meth injection, its not the octane. Im gonna clean everything up, see how that works for me.

Anybody else have any imput here. This sucks...

 

what r u reving to?

 

Car shuts off and immediately turns back on when you turn the key?

 

Sean did you ever get this figured out? If you want me to swing out there and scan the car I will, but if your not throwing any codes its gonna be a little bit difficult to figure out exactly what it is, especially if it only happens every now and then.

 

The car shuts off. And it doesnt start for a couple minutes.

 

Throws any codes? Catless?

This used to happen to me and a few others. Could be the crank sensor going bad.

 

so it completly shuts off????hum my friend had a dsm gst...any way when he hit boost it would cut out....then we changed the spark plugs and it was fine. so ya i would say, clean TB, MAF sensor, fuel filter, spark plugs....

 

I purchased an 08 ss last summer. Shortly after purchasing it started to chug in 2nd gear at 2000 rpm. At this point it wasn't every day, now it is. I've taken it in several times and because it doesn't throw any dealer codes or the check engine lite isnt on, they say there's nothing more we can do. Yet every single morning, even the mornings I left it at the dealer, it chugs in 2nd gear no matter what. Does any one have any light on this subject?

 

I really dont like other people working on my car, dealer techs or not. I do all my own work, plus im pretty far into the modding process that my warrenty is gone anyway. Im gonna do the plugs and clean everything out tomorrow. No work so i finally have some time.

 

Keep me updated on this after your done doing your plugs and cleaning. I really am a little bit stumped on this one. Actually another thing to do...this is gonna sound stupid but just do it anyways, I have my reasons lol. Pop open your hood, take off the fuse box cover and press fairly hard down on all of the fuses. One time I had a fuse that was lose and when I hit a really hard bump the car would shut off. Just try it because I don't know of a lot of other things that would cause it to happen.

 

Lol thats funny that you said that, yesterday i went over every fuse the in box and checked em all. all good.
