I just bought this vehicle used. It has an Inline 6. It is having problems with just cutting out and shutting off, especially when I'm accelerating or braking. When I come to a stop, most of the time it just straight up quits running. I think it might be the fuel injectors or the fuel pump, but I don't know, that car hasn't been driven in a while, the previous owner said he thought it was the ground wires, but he cleaned those up and it did it less, but it still did it. I just wanted to get your opinion on it. Also, it does it way more when I put the transmission in power mode, over comfort mode, and/or put it in 4x4 mode. Also, it starts to overheat in 4x4 mode. Sorry for the long text, but I really want to get your opinion on it before I take it into a mechanics shop and spend a bunch of money. Thanks

First of all great job on the video I wish more did them. I would start by getting all new ignition components spark plugs, wires cap rotor, coil wire, coil. Get AC Delco if you love your car and went it to run well for miles to come. Here is a guide that will walk you through the steps:
