I don't have a Corsica, I have a 2003 Suburban but I have a similar problem. Every few months or if the car has been sitting for 12 hours and the fuel guage reads less than 1/2 the car will crank and start for a couple of seconds and then die. You can keep trying but it will not run for more than a second or two. If one hits the gas tank bottom then it will start okay. At other times the car will lose power and the engine will struggle to stay running. If that happens you have to turn off the engine and then hit the tank.

We tried replacing the fuel filter to no avail and other fixes would cost a lot more so I live with it and keep the tank at least half full.

One mechanic thought that something in the tank may be coating the fuel screen and the engine had to be shut off to release it. Our other guess is that a fuel line pressure regulator check valve gets stuck and banging the tank breaks it loose.

If your problem is similar then towing the car might have the same effect as hitting the tank. When you drive the car keep an eye on the fuel gauge. My Suburban's changes readings at times. It's possible that your car thinks it's out of fuel and shuts off the pump to protect it. If your engine dies and you are coasting and you can do so safely, hit the brakes hard. That may shake things enough to help.

I've been told I have a fuel pump going bad and that banging it is only a short reprieve but it's done this for 3 years now so I doubt it.

try cleaning or replacing the EGR valve? hope this helps

Could be your idle air control valve is not allowing the engine to idle properly when you put a load on it.

Do you get a check engine light.
The DIS module could be a problem.
Check the fuel injector resistance. Each injector should be about 12 OHMS. They are connected in pairs of three if its a six cylinder and all three should read about 4.3 OHMS. If not you have to replace the injectors.

If the car dies when you press the brake. The other thing could be the torque converter clutch is not operating correctly just disconnect the connector to the clutch you will lose some fuel efficiency but it should work.

need to know 4 0r 6 cyl engine and a email address to send diagram to

may be a fuel delivery problem??? ck fuel filter,,fuel pump,,

This sounds familiar. If your car runs fine and suddenly begins to "shudder" or shake when you're coming to a stop and then dies, you probably have a VERY common problem with Corsicas, which is a bad torque converter. There is a very simple and FREE solution for this though. Take the air filter housing off and unbolt the bottom part of it, removing it completely. Aways underneath that you'll see what looks like a "plug", with 4 wires going into it. Just grab the wires and tug hard. That unplugs the torque converter and your problem will be solved. Trust me.

BUT, if your car doesn't die as I described, then I wouldn't mess with the converter though.

new handles

You should be able to pull the handle and while holding the handle use a screwdriver to pop the latch back to a "open" position. If the latch does not release then it might be broken and stuck in that position. Just use the screw driver and insert it into the latch opening to simulate the latch hook. The try moving it back while holding the handle open. Hopefully this gets the latch back into position. You should also lubricate the latch with a small amount of white grease to keep the latch from sticking.

sounds like tansmission lock converter is not releasing, unplug it and take it for a drive
