1993 Chevy Lumina stalls from a stop.

My Lumina is 16 yrs old but still runs fine except that it stalls sometimes when coming from a stop. Sometimes the Check Engine light comes on. Usually it stalls if I ease onto the gas as i normally would. But if I go heavy onto the gas from a stop it helps avoid the stall. Any advice as to what the problem is? Thanks!

    Dies when going from park or neutral to drive or reverse. Also dies from stops on normal acceleration.

My 93 Lumina did the same thing and a simple tune up solved the problem. For whatever reason, the rear middle plug wire goes bad before the others.

3.1 1993 lumina starts fine as it warms up it starts skipping and then cuts off. stalls and will not crank until it cools off

Unplug the temperature sensor and see what happens. If no change then the temp sensor plug maybe plugged somewhere it should not be. Sometimes it isb possible there are missmatched sensor connectors.

1993 lumina stalling

Free things to try: Take it to Auto Zone or some auto parts store and they can check the battery, alternator, and hook the thing to their computer to look for trouble codes for you.

Things you have to pay for: Take it to the auto shop and have them check the timing, spark plugs, and they can translate the trouble codes into language you understand.
