Sounds like the auto throttle is jammed or the throttle pedal is jammed. Try pushing on the gas pedal a few times to see if it frees.

I have a 1997 lumina with 3.1L. the problem started with loss of power under load and p0300 code. check coils and vacuum leaks both OK.change spark plugs and wires.[same problem] check compression OK.

Since you changed the sensor we will assume it is working. When you disconnect it you put the computer in limp mode which stops it from using sensor values. If code 300 is the only code we will assume the coolant temp sensor and others are ok.
I would check fuel pressure with a gauge next.

My Lumina starts up and drives well but when I brake at a red light the engine often stops, the car shuts off, and the check engine light appears. Then I will start it back up and it will continue to...

seems your electronic controled EGR is failling, this happens after you drive over 45mph for a few miles and then coming to a complete stop. this is the most common failure it may turn your check engine lite on but next time you start the car it will be off until it dies again. good luck

Secruity system turned on and wont turn off for some reason it doesnt recgonize the key what do i do?

Turn key to on, let the light flash till it stops (usually 10-15minutes) and remains steady on. then re-start the car. If this does not work, try it three times. If still no luck the problem is likely the ignition lock sensor or the module, most often the tumbler

On my 1999 Chey Lumina. My brake lights wont come on except for the one in the back window

I was having similar issues with my '95 Lumina. It started out with the passenger side brake light not working and the turn signal switch on the column acting funny.
Eventually, someone pulled-up next to me and told me that I had no rear lights at all.
It turned out to be the turn signal switch in the sterring column.
Hope this helps.

1999 chevy lumina with a new battery that will not turn over. AAA can jump it and it will start and run for ever until it is turned off then it will not start again. Jumping it from another car usually...

because aaa can jump start it and you can't sounds like maybe the battery cables are curroided (dirty)
in-between the battery post and the clamps, clean the battery terminals and charge your battery as a loose conection can run down even a new battery
