I had the engine rebuilt and it ran great for the first 250 miles and then I went to park the trooper and the engine shut off by itself. I tried to restart it and it would not start. I let it sit for about three minutes and then tried to crank it over and then it started and then quickly shut off again. I let it sit another couple of minutes and then started it just fine and it stayed running for a couple minutes before I shut it off. The next morning I drove it about 10 miles and as I was making a left hand turn it died again. I tried on and off for ten minutes to start the engine and finally it stayed running. I have no problems with the power of the motor. What could it be?

Hi there, you may have a faulty sensor, a scan should pick up on this, or the fuel pump may be acting up, look at these first.
