2003 Silverado stalling

[308]

whenever I turn left or right. Most of the time I am hitting the brakes while turning. It will start back up fine but it gets aggravating. It won't do it a lot maybe once or twice a day. What could cause this?

what engine? any mods done?

fuel pump

[B.Miller]

fuel pump

My first thought as well. But, if it was fuel pump he would know more on start up then just randomly driving.

In any case to check fuel pump, when you turn your key to the click before the cranked position, listen and see if you hear the fuel pump priming.

I hear the fuel pump when I turn the key. It is a 4.8L

could be short in the wiring harness if its a 4wd...ask KRT

[308]

2WD, no mods done to it.

Most likely a vacuum leak...

How would you go about checking it? I don't know shit about engines.

[Clemsonwoodie]

i sent a text to KRt to see what he thinks

Fuel pump, fuel pump , fuel pump!!!!! I could hear mine but would stall going up inclines. Would have never thought that was the issue until I changed it and no problems now.

Do you notice it idling rougher than normal. Normally you can craw around with a flash light on the top of the motor and inspect the black rubber hoses for holes/cracks.

fuel pump pick up might not be getting the gas when it moves around in the tank. is it any better if the tank is full?

KRT think's Vacuum lines

I meant to add that as well...Thank you sir

Have you see gas prices? I can't afford it to fill it up. But it still does it at half of tank.

I'll go check out the hoses and see if there is a crack/leak anywhere.

do what? you are telling him to put water on vaccum lines. no way it is suction.

^I laughed when I saw that

You have to become one with the motor...........and listen for areas that maybe be sucking air
