Try replacing the starter. I have read several times that the starter armature can cause some of these problems. Be sure to disconnect the negative before testing or replacing the starter.

SOURCE: 1992 lumina not staying started

check for vacuum leaks using A propane torch or starting fluid leave the torch off allowing a small amount of propane around hoses and intake manifold especially at rear of manifold ( cars have a history for intake gaskets ) IF YOU USE THE STARTING FLUID BE IN A WELL VENTED AREA AND USE ONLY A SMALL AMOUNT AT A TIME AND ALLOW TO DISPERSE BEFORE SPRAYING MORE DO THIS FIRST GOOD FIRST CHECK

SOURCE: cannot get 1987 chevy van 20 to keep running... stalls out

Best do a fuel pressure test. Should have chg. fuel filter from the get go. The only other filter is on the end of the fuel pump in tank. Bad gas and dirty gas will plug up fuel filter, hense burn pump up.

SOURCE: no fuel

Be sure you have checked the impact safety switch. Your owner's manuual should tell you where it is if it has one. This switch kills the power to the fuel pump after impact. It has a push button reset. Check for voltage at fuel pump to rule out having to change the pump again.

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

1994 Chevi Lumina APV (van)

If you havent replaced the battery I would start there. If the battery has a dead cell in it then it will effectively remove the charge that your alternator is putting out causing your vehicle to stop running because it has no power. I would jump start the car without the battery hook up and remove the cables and see if it runs that way. If it does you have a bad battery.

1990 chevy lumina, idling problem...stalling...too rich

Stalling and running rich. I have seen this before on a Camero. The fuel pump was weak. Not making enough pressure. This caused the fuel injector to DRIP gas instead of SPRAY gas. This caused the fuel to flow into the cylinder in a liquid form, and it did not burn well. We put in a new fuel pump and the car came to life. Good luck.

My lumina keeps stalling and if it runs has no power.............

If all that was done was a tune up, either a vacuum hose was knocked out of place or the wiring could have been crossed. Sometimes even a plug wire may not be making good contact. It's something simple and I hope you solve this .
