Im buying this 1997 Chevy blazers. Fuel pump and much more has been done to this vehicle. It starts p fine. You put it in drive and at a half a mile it shuts off. You can start it right back up and drive for another half a mile and it shuts off again. Any suggestions?

Hello, I'd put a fuel pressure gage on it, see if it will stall in the driveway, while you watch the gage.

Can you check for codes? Some of the national brand autostores will check codes for free.

If you don't think it is fuel, check ignition, maybe your intermittently losing the rpm signal?
