my h1 has been stalling as i'm driving down the road.it will sometimes start if you put it in neutral but lateley i have to come to a complete stop to restart any suggestions?

 

sounds like the beginning to the oh so common PMD overheating issues but not 100% sure. Does it give you problems when trying to start it back up with a hot engine?

 

Sounds like the same problem I'm having. What is a PMD? (pardon my ignorance). I've replaced the fuel lift pump and a mechanic says it might? be the injector pump. Was there a silent recall on this problem?

PMD is the pump mounted driver, it basically is the computer for your injection pump. And no worries about not knowing.. I knew nothing about it either when I first bought my hummer.
And yea your mechanic would be right if thats the problem. but instead of replacing the whole injector pump(which cost me over $4500 CDN at the stealership) you can replace just the PMD and even get the relocation kit as well for under $1000 all together.(not sure since i havent priced a PMD by itself yet.) Also save alot of $$$ on labour as well since PMD is a easy item to replace compared to the injector pump.

This will help alot

 

The PMD runs about $550.00 by itself from the dealer.

 

Thanks for all the great info... my hummer will go days without a problem and then it's back again. It used to happen when hot at first but nowthe trouble is when I first start driving so the engine is cool; perhaps the damage is already done to the PMD?

 

Odds are it is the PMD. Once they start going bad it is only a matter of time. Have a tech check it to be sure and if that is it make sure the new PMD is mounted remotely so this doesn't occur again.

 

yea PMD acts like that first it starts every now and then and it progressivly gets bad atleast that was my case.

 

I'm sold! I'm off to the parts store this afternoon to get everything. They have it all in stock and with any luck we'll be driving it tomorrow and file my test report Thanks again for all your input...looks like I got a new place on the web to hang out.
