Engine dying afte running a few mins. on 89 s-10

Polaris 500 · 01-21-2006, 03:42 PM

Ok We had a 89 s-10 110,000 miles. fuel injected. 4 speed 4 cyl.

Sitting down the barn for 3 years casue it had a hole in the tank. so i put enough gas in it to get me to the car pit on top the hill and i pull it on fix the hole fix all the broken breaklines. Fixed 2 broken fuel lines.
Ididnt have it running long enough before i brought it up to see if it did this but i know before it went down there it ran fine.

Well now i put fuel in it run it around the feild about 2 times and it just dies out it will do it at idle after a while also. I dont know whats causeing this.

My dad has no idea eathier. It has to sit about 5 mins then will start right back up and run for a few min. before it dies. We just want to use it to run around the farm. and it cant ever be road leagle any ways casue it was rolled a few years back and has a bent cab.

Yep so taking it to a prat stor for them to run test is out of questions unless i tow it there. but i dont wanna do that. if anything i will tow it out to the auto wreaking garage i work at and tose it in the junk yard before i take it to the partstore.

Sounds like it could be a plugged up fuel filter. Take it off and see if you can blow threw it.

I Agree With Gm Tech If Not The Fuel Filter It Could Be The Fuel Pump Those Years Both Ford And Gm Seem To Have That Problem It Runs For A Little While The Fuel Pump Worms Up TheN Locks Up But Try The Filter First It Is More Likely To Be The Culprit.

I will check the fuel filter today. After it dies you can turn the key off then back on and hear the fuel pump turn on. But it wont start. But i dont know anything about fuel pumps this could mean nothing.

Also Someone told me it might be the Ignition module after it shuts downs it might not have spark so im going to check that also.

The filter would be a great place to strart.

Welp we checked for spark it had it but then went away real quick. So i pulled the Ignition module and showed it to my dad and he said go in the glove box and there was the orginal one that was on the truck in there put that on and havnt had the problem since.
