ITS THE TCC SOLENOID. WHEN YOU DRIVE ABOUT 30 OR 35 MILES AN HOUR.TORQUE WILL LOCK UP.WHEN YOU COME TO A STOP. WHEN YOU APPLY BRAKES THE BRAKE SWITCH WILL CAUSE THE TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH TO DISENGAGED.IF NOT YOUR CAR WILL STALL OUT.YOU CAN TAKE A SCANNER.SAFELY RAISE FRONT WHEELS OFF GROUND BLOCK BACK WHEELS.PUT ENGINE IN DRIVE WATCH SCANNER FOR TCC CONVERTER TO LOCK UP AND UNLOCK.IF IT REMAIN LOCKUP WHEN YOU APPLY BRAKES ITS THE TCC SOLENOID.TRY THIS TRICK UNPLUG THE TCC CONNECTOR.DRIVE THE CAR.A SHORT TRIP IF IT DONT STALL OUT ITS THE TCC SOLENOID.IF IT STILL STALL OUT WITH TCC CONNECTOR UNPLUG YOUR TORQUE CONVERTER HAS INTERNAL DAMAGE.DONT CONTINUING DRIVING CAR WITH TCC UNPLUG.YOU WILL DAMAGE TRANSMISSION.

Lumina troubleshooting

My APV locked in overdrive and would stall the engine at stops. This van was my daughters and they had junked it because of the cost of repair. I would test the tranny lock up by coasting up to a stop and if I sensed the tranny was locked I would floor the accelerator a couple of times with a quick back off each time. After a dozen or so of these procedures whatever was sticking thje lockup came free and the problem was mixed.

When my 92 chev van Lumina gets warm it stalls and won't start till It cools down. What could the problem be.

You'll need to get more information. Find an auto parts store that offers free engine code readouts and have them tell you what the engine computer has detected. This will shorten the long list of possible causes. Post again with the results - you may get to post your own solution.
I've had a bad fuel injector driver transistor in the computer (throttle body injection) and an ignition module do this to me.

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

92 lumina apv stalls after sitting short time

here are some signs of a bad fuel pressure regulator: the vehicle runs rough, the engine will not start(usually in morning) MANY TIMES ENGINE STARTS BUT STALLS SHORTLY AFTER STARTING. a bad regulator can result in fouled spark plus, and fuel milage will decrease noticeably. the only cure is to replace regulator. what makes it fail usually it gets a tear in the diafram and it cant maintain fuel pressure. hope this helps toolman,

1992 lumina apv smells hot, does not register hot

White smoke means water/antifreeze entering the combustion chamber(s) or intake passages. Suspect a gasket leak somewhere (tighten all intake manifold nuts and bolts). Check all radiator and heater hoses for leakage and hose condition.

1992 Mitsubishi Eclipse transmission slips in overdrive

well the low cost way to go first would be to try and change the trans fluids. If the problems still remains the it may be an internal problem

1992 Chev Lumina

I would have the car checked on the computor.Even if the engine light is off it will store the codes.When you get the codes it should point you in the right direction.I would say it's posibly the throttle position sensor.
