Problem overview

Some Chevrolet Equinox owners report experiencing engine shutdowns while driving at low speeds, often accompanied by intermittent starting issues. These problems may be attributed to several potential causes, including a faulty crankshaft position sensor, clogged fuel filter, vacuum leaks, fuel system failures, electrical issues, and sensor errors. Additionally, symptoms of a failing fuel pump, such as engine stalling, rough idling, and difficulty starting, have been noted. Owners are advised to start by checking for any stored trouble codes using an OBD2 scanner to identify the underlying issues. Common culprits for these stalling problems include fuel system issues, air intake system problems, and ignition system malfunctions. It is crucial for affected owners to address these concerns promptly to ensure safety and maintain the vehicle's longevity, potentially consulting a mechanic for further diagnostics.
