Truck starts then stalls
« on: September 13, 2013, 09:38:11 pm »
My '06 starts then stalls and second time starting will run fine. It happens almost every day, Sometimes in the morning sometimes around lunch time. When you start it will run about 3 or 4 seconds then die restart will run fine until you shut it off. Then sometimes it will start and run fine.

Welcome!

Tell us more about your truck, and someone should be able to better help you locate the issue. Mostly, which engine?

Are you using a factory or aftermarket key? Have you tried a different key? I have a caravan that does the same thing with an aftermarket key. Sometimes it works fine, other times many of the electrical systems don't work.

I just went out and tried the original key, Stereo came on first try. I think original, Bought the truck used at the end of '06 from a dealership. I don't use this key because it got wet with salt water (work at a marina) and the remote dosen't work. The key that i do use so i could have a remote came from a dealership. I will continue to use the original and see what happens. I will let you know. Thanks for the info.

Sounds like an ignition switch issue to me.
