Starting problems (New Bee)

Chipper · 11-12-2006, 02:32 AM

Hello all and good luck with your questioning

This Is my first post and while asking this question I will also inform all that I to have been a mechanic for some time, I Just prefer carpentry work.

Question: While trying to start my 1999 Sonoma 2.2 I ran accross the problem of the truck starting and then shutting down.

It ran for 20 seconds and then just died.

Thinking of how a computer might act I rebooted the system... turning off the vehicle and removing the key.

I put the key back in the ignition, started the vehicle and then ran like it never had a problem.

I can only come up with the idea of checking the system for computer codes but thought id post this message just incase there is someone that might have had this problem with their vehicle and could answer this question. All responces are welcome!

Started after driving about 1/4th of a mile engine still at a cool stage, air temp 75, It acted like the alarm was activated while shuting down

Check all your grounds or a bad battery. Also know for GM trucks is that the fuel pump go out if this ever happens bang the bottom of gas tank with a 2x4 it might start the pump again.
