    the second time it did it the starter went out. when i tried to start it a couple days later before changing the starter it started just fine then the starter went out again.ive been told it could be the mass inflow sensor, dead gas, timing belt, and a electrical problem. Not exactly sure what tho

Sounds like a combination fuel pump/ fuel filter problem. Try changing the fuel filter first (cheapest first--always) and se what happens. Then you may have to swap out the fuel pump.

When the fuel pump gets clogged it causes excess wear on the fuel pump causing it to overheat and shortens the life.

When it stops, does it have spark? (crank sensor)

    Buy some Carb cleaner. When it dies, try to restart it by spraying carb cleaner into the air intake. This will test to see if you are loosing fuel.

I can't open the hood of my 97 chevy lumina?

Take a flashlight and observe the latch, under the hood, and try to find what exactly is catching on what. Use a flat head screwdriver to pry away whatever is catching, and open your hood.

I have a knocking noise at idle in my 97 Chevy Lumina...It goes away when I accelerate. What could this be?

after oil change' check oil pressure cold and then hot , then idle, if it goes up when reving it hot, thats good sort of,then if it goes way to low at idle and knocks, check idle speed. Fix it if so, still there , in the old days we would be cheap and put in a high flow oil pump, now I drive the "siht" out of a cheap car to see how long they last! It will supruse you> seen a 97 lumina with 400,000 km. slight knock and still going.
