2003 Engine stalls after starting

[Jeffr]

I left my yard this morning and my 2003 lost power about 2 blocks away and stalled. Then in trying to restart it, it starts right away but then stalls out right away. Any clues?

Is it in gear when it stops?

Fuel pump failures are common on these cars.

Check for faults stored in all control modules. Fault codes might help you determine the cause of your stalling condition. Note any DTCs and freeze frame data that are stored before clearig the fault codes. After clearing the fault codes does the engine stall? After clearing the fault codes do any fault codes return?

I bet your fuel pump is going out.

Fuel pumps are often the culprit.

I had very similar issues with my 02 right after I got it. It was the fuel pump. Installed a new one and been OK going on 2 years.
