Hi I recently purchased a 2001 Chevy Silverado 1500 2wd w/5.3L, and some times when I drive it will stall and I see the security light blink 3 times when this happens. When I restart the truck it starts right up without a problem but if I don’t keep taping the gas it will stall, but if the truck stalls and I put it in park and remove the key and put it back in, it starts right up and stays running. I have had one situation where the truck had stalled and I couldn’t restart it for 30min, it would crank but not start, like it was just out of gas. I just went to Auto Zone to have an engine diagnostic but there was 0 codes on the computer, so I am lost and any info would be appreciated.

Truck has 89,000 miles, and the engine light is not on
Thanks
Ryan

This sounds similar to my problem that I just posted 5 min. Ago.

Check the fuel pressure regulator for leaks. A very fine leak that may evaporate quickly. Common to the 5.3 motor, not the 4.3x motor
