Problem overview

Some Chevrolet Corvette owners report experiencing stalling issues while driving after a long period of inactivity, even after installing a new fuel pump and filter. These owners have identified several potential causes, including bad gas or water in the gas tank, which can prevent the engine from firing properly. Additionally, some report that a failing fuel pump may contribute to stalling, particularly following a period without use. Problems with the fuel pump relay, such as low voltage or overheating, have also been noted as possible reasons for engine shutdown while driving. Furthermore, issues within the ignition system, including faulty components or wiring problems, could lead to similar stalling experiences. It is crucial for owners facing these issues to thoroughly diagnose the problem and consult with a mechanic or automotive specialist for effective resolution.
