My car keeps shutting off!
Okay I have a 96' Blazer. I don't have any money as of right now to go get it checked. It usually runs fine, but when its really hot outside it always shuts off while i'm driving. I checked the Coolant and its full. I don't know what else could be going on. Can anyone help???

Hi there,
I can't say with any certainty that this will be your issue, but I have experienced identical symptoms when the MAP sensor or mass airflow sensor starts to go bad.
The part it spendy, and you are going to want to see if you can find one in a salvage yard before you go buy a new, or even rebuilt, one.
There are at least 100 things that can fail intermittently at temp and be just fine when cool.
Your Blazer probably even knows what is wrong with itself. I know you are short on cash, but there will usually be someplace near you that will pull the diagnostic codes off your car's computer for somewhere between free and $45.
This is worth it, and I suggest you find the money asap to get it done. Reason? Well, if it isn't an intake sensor (check the air temp sensor as well, those are really cheap) then the problem could be mechanical. If it is, and you don't tend to it right away, you will be shopping for a new car pretty quick.
So: $45 to get it checked... or a new vehicle? Seems an easy choice right? :-)
Let me know in feedback when you find out what it was, since now you have me curious.
