What will cause a 2000 Silverado to act like it ran out of gas?

* Fuel injector failure: If the fuel injectors fail, they will not deliver gas to the engine like normal, which could result in a loss of power and a stalling engine.

* Fuel filter block: If the fuel filter is blocked, it can restrict the flow of gas to the engine.

* Fuel pressure regulator failure: If the fuel pressure regulator fails, it can result in a loss of gas pressure and a starving engine.

* Vapor lock: This occurs when the fuel turns into vapor due to high temperatures. This can cause a loss of power and a stalling engine.

* Air filter restriction: If the air filter is restricted, it can reduce airflow to the engine and cause a loss of power.

* Vacuum leak: A vacuum leak can cause the engine to run lean, resulting in a loss of power and a stalling engine.

* Coolant temperature sensor failure: If the coolant temperature sensor fails, it can cause the engine to run rich, resulting in a loss of power and a stalling engine.
