It just dies

rxl · 05-03-2009, 05:23 PM

New to me truck and working out a few problems as you can tell from a couple other threads. First truck since the 70's, so I'm pretty green but handy with duct tape.
I got on the skinny real hard turning left today and it just up and and died. Seemed to be electrical, but not 100% sure. Fired right back up and when I came to the next corner I was curious, so I got on it in a right turn. Same thing, it croaked. Tried straight line and it never died.
So I'm scratching my head thinking this all sounds familiar but cant grasp when or what. I checked the body and engine grounds and all seems well.
Any ideas?

what type of vehicle

bradrhale · 05-03-2009, 08:13 PM

perhaps this is a 93 fullsize cheby.

sounds like the power nose switch(i think that is what is called) for the power steering

rxl · 05-04-2009, 05:41 AM

Yep, full size.
Googled power nose switch. Got nothing. Can you elaborate alittle?

Did it in a straight line yesterday. I cant help think it's pump related.
Any idea's?

Is there a auto fuel safety shut off in a 93 Chevy?? I looked but couldnt find anything.

hotrodpc · 05-08-2009, 08:10 PM

I would say its not a fuel safty shut off otherwise you would have to reset it everytime it tripped I do believe. Never heard of a GM truck having it anyway.

Didnt think so, but wasnt sure.
I do have to turn the key off and back on to restart the truck. I tried restarting in N as I was rolling but it would only crank, not fire. Once I stopped, put it in park and then cycled the ignition it refired.
