'98 Bonneville keeps stalling!

Jan 21, 2007 2 Replies

Hello and thank you for your prior responses and suggestions.



It's the 3800 motor with 117,000 miles. On occasion it will stall for no apparent reason. The "check gauges" light appears, the "chime" sound is heard, and then it stalls. So far the "check engine" light has not yet been activated. It has always re-started with no problem.



It's been checked twice by a mechanic and nothing has been found. After



2 1/2 weeks of all kinds of driving and no stalling, it's stalled six times while driving only five miles at around 35-45 mph.

Thanks again...

have you checked MAF??? if you can get it running long enough take to autozone or advanced they'll hook it up free of charge...good luck..

If check gauges light on it indicates a lose of 12 volt power or pcm communcations.

Check all 12 volt power feeds/fuses and grounds. Also a engine/body capable scanner may show up something in history or present codes or a lose of communication in the pcm network.
