My first thought would be the power steering pump is out of fluid, or that your pump is faulty and seizing. A rack and pinion going bad can also cause this.

SOURCE: 1991 chevy lumina will hardly run

DTC - 22 Throttle position sensor error (signal low), is tps connected?
DTC - 23 Intake air temp sensor error (low temp indicated) check and make sure the sensor is connected
DTC - 43 Knock sensor error, ignore this for now, will not cause rich run.
DTC - 53 System voltage too high, check reference voltage from PCM, it should be around 4.5 Volts, this could be the cause of all your problems, the computer will need to replaced almost for sure.

The ground wire in the trunk area, coming from the brake light harness, might have come off or really loose. Hope this will get your lights working again. Best wishes.

34 51 I have a 1995 Chevy Lumina and about a month

51 IIRC, is EGR fail, fix that first.
if the EGR fails the car will in fact stall at every stop sign.
yes, the motor runs at 300 RPM and illegal RPM 800 is correct.
this is the EGR stuck open
all cars with EGR have a 50k mile service, my bet is you dont follow the service charts.?

we clean the valve.
in a shop they wont the replace it for like $200 part and $100-200 labor.
DIY guys , remove it and clean it and test it with a hand vacuum pump, if electric use that on car, in special way (ask);

My 1992 chev lumina apv van stalls everytime i put on the brakes at every red light it restarts after no codes are coming up what could it be?:

check to make sure the power brake booster is not leaking, do this by starting the van and just let it idle in park and push the brake pedal if the engine stalls or surges or you hear a sucking noise under the dash then replace the power brake booster if there is none of these systems then replace the idle control motor. GOOD LUCK

1998 Chevy Lumina, 166,000 miles Was sometime making a bad squealing sound when backing up. Took to Sears for brake inspection, they fixed rotors and brakes, problem still, took back to them. Now they said...

your rear brakes set your emergency brake system, to the proper required settings, your e brake system sounds to be the problem, the brake shop is liabl for this so bring it to a dealer and hav it serviced properly, you are having mechanics "pull the wool over it" basicially your being screwed, go back to sears and speak with a manager before having the dcar fixed properly.

My 1997 Chevy Lumina won't start, it sounds like it wants to but it wont turn over, has gas, tried the carb spray, still won't start. Help!!!

did you use carb cleaner or starter fluid. if you try starter fluid and it starts for a second and then dies you might have a fuel pressure issue. if not check for spark.

Car stalls

the problem sounds like it is not getting enough of fuel. check or replace fuel filter to see if this helps, also make sure fuel pump is pumping the fuel at the right pressure. have pressure checked if need be. if not enough fuel a vehicle will run at idle, but stall under pressure.
