I have a bmw 325i 2006 had tune up did and valve cover gasket replacement and the car cuts off at stop idilling shaking when it comes on please help me 2 weeks ago had completely Feul pump did what is the problem
I had a 91 Honda Civic that did this exact same thing. It would just randomly shut off without any warning or any pattern. Took it to specialized Honda shop for diagnostic and they checked every sensor and component and never found anything wrong. Ended up selling it to the shop so they could use it for parts. Darn shame too since it was such an awesome little car.
I had a 91 civic that did the same thing. Ended up being the main relay under the steering column. When they get old the solder joints go bad and the connection is broken. The relay doesn't work so it doesn't turn on the fuel system. Car would stop running without warning. Part was easy to replace (plug in) and cost only $30
I had a bad fuel pump ground wire cause that. Test ground wires by isolating them and running 12v through them with something with higher current like a spare headlight. A ground wire can be semi-faulty so putting an electrical load on it like running enough current through it to illuminate a headlight will show you if it has a good connection or not based on how bright or dim it lights up.
Did you try checking out Alero specific forums becasue that might be a common symptom/problem that other owners can quickly point out.
My car did the same thing and they thought it was my alternator but since lights stayed on it was an electrical issue.. Well turns out I just had corroded battery terminals they needed tightened and cleaned and now runs great. Maybe check that or your ignition switch.

Yes, I had times where battery terminal even looked clean and felt tight but it did if fact need to be taken off and cleaned which solved the problem.
Some cars were also know to have ECU's with substandard capacitors that eventually leak and cause mysterious problems. Early 90's Mitsubishis and others were so prone to it that a cottage industry sprouted up repairing these ECU's +TCU's. My car, '93 Eclipse, is one of those so not only do I have my ECU upgraded with better capacitors, I also keep a good spare ECU around just to swap in to verify or rule out as the problem.
I have a 1995 buck regal custom 3.8, and mines is doing the exact same thing. However it starts up right after shutting off... Someone help please tell me where to start. Also when it did **** off the service engine light comes on then turns off when the car is turned off. I turn it on on no service light that's happened twice never happened before. And I don't want to get rid of it because it only has 96,000 miles and I own it. Help
