I have a 2007 Yukon, 6.2 L engine, which after 10 minutes of driving will stall when you stop for a signal light. The time varies as to when this happens but will definitely happen within 20 minutes of driving. The stabilitrak light will also come on. I used to have to wait 10 minutes before it would start again but found by putting the accelerator pedal to the floor it starts after cranking for 10 to 15 seconds. I have so far replaced, Plugs/wires, Variable Valve Timing Solenoid, Camshaft position sensor, Crankshaft position sensor, Throttle body....none have fixed the problem, can anyone offer a solution?

Especially a scan tool that can read live data. Seeing a stored code or code when it happens is ideal. Start checking for the things the engine needs to run. Fuel and spark. Fuel pump relay might be the easiest then start eliminating those items. It sounds like a fuel delivery issue if you can restart by holding the throttle down.

I lean towards this uncommon occurrence to a failing torque converter in my 09. PO did towing and I think wore some things out.

Hi thanks for the input, actually the first thing I changed was the fuel pump relay. Today I am putting in a new fuel pump and if that doesnt fix it I dont know where else to look. There is a code stored P0011 which refers to cam position error but I have changed both Cam and Crank position sensors...

I was going to suggest checking fuel pressure when the no start occurs but looks like you are already on to the pump.

I swear I recall reading of this before and it was a common issue with the 6.2. I wanna say it was something to do with the VVT system, but I can't say for sure.

Maybe something with the cam phaser? I don't know- just going off of a deep and obscure memory.

You’re right. If you eliminate fuel delivery you move on to spark. Has the CPS code been cleared and came back on? Hmmm....

What exactly is the cam phaser? I have replaced the cam and crank position sensors along with the Variable Valve Timing solenoid
