My engine keeps stalling out but its hit or miss on when it does it, i replaced fuel filter air filter spark plugs, metered spark plug wires which checked good. I ran fuel injector cleaner through it and it worked perfectly fine for about a day and a half before it happened again. This time when i turned the ignition to run the fuel pump didnt cycle, but it did the previous day. Could there be a short in the wiring to the fuel pump that keeps going in and out? I have a brand new pump that i dont know if i should install just yet.

See the "Surging Idle Checklist” for help with all your idle/stall problems. Everything you need to find and fix idle problems is in there.

The first two posts contain all the updates to the fixes. At last count there were 24 possible causes and fixes for surging idle/stall problems. I continue to update it as more people post fixes or ask questions.
