Truck I'm looking at

[bwchevyguy]

The guy says it runs good for 10 minutes and then sputters and tries to die. Any ideas on what might be wrong with it? If it's a simple fix I might jump on it because it seems like a good deal.

So it is just sitting there idling for 10 minutes and then dies altogether? Or does happen when driving?

driving

If everything works fine and it only does it after it gets hot for 10 minutes, I would say it is something heat related. Maybe something electrical is getting hot.... not sure.

sounds like a fuel pump issue

 

[bwchevyguy]

I'm going to look at it tomorrow morning. Any other insight would be helpful.

also sounds like an ignition module

 

[bwchevyguy]

Ok. So far I've heard

Fuel Pump
Ignition Module
Cool Temp sensor

Any other possibilities? I know it's a shot in the dark.

My money would be on coolant temp sensor. Maybe the O2 sensor once it gets heated? I wouldn't think its a spark/fuel problem if it is fine for 10 minutes. The idle should drop well before 10 minutes, even if it is freezing outside. If it still runs smoothly once the idle drops, I'd think CTS or O2.

Any idea what's involved replacing the CTS/price?
