1993 Lumina Shuts itself Off While Driving

This is happening 3 to 4 times a trip nowadays. Only happens when slowing down, coming to a stop, or on certain sharp turns. One mehcanic said it was probably the MAF sensor, but he couldn't get one after several attempts. Does this sound right, and howcan I find such a sensor and have it installed?

The sensor should be located after the air filter as part of the intake ducting. Looked it up at the AUTOZONE website. The price in my area is $41.00. Looks like 1 electrical connection, 1 hose, and 2 screws to replace it yourself.

    There is a picture of the part on the web site. If you can use a screw driver I'm guessing you can do this yourself, If not the kid down the street could probably use to earn an extra $20.00 right about now. Way cheaper than a mechanic. Also some of the autoparts people will do this sort of thing after hours for a small "fee".

1993 Chevy lunimina Broke down 2 times in 3 days done pretty much the same thing both times ill be driving down the road and the car will just stall out while driving changed a blown fuse fir the dis and...

I don't want to seem like a smart ****, but the blown fuses were telling you that something with the component that it was protecting is going bad. So changing the fuse the first time was a go idea, the second time was not. It told you, that something was failing and you refused to pay attention.

But at least you know which fuse blew, so now all you have to do is find out what it was protecting and replace it or what feeds it.

I have a 1993 Chevy Lumina engine 3.1L> I am getting a code 12. What is that and how do I fix it?

Code 12 will always be the first code you get which simply meams that your computer and PROM (the memory chip in the computer) are working properly. If you did have a trouble code, how it works is the code 12 (1 and then2 flashes) would happen 3 times. Then after the code 12 any other codes would start. They would also flash 3 times and then move on to the next code and when all the codes were done there would be a longer pause then normal and code 12 would happen again 3 time and the cycle would start again. In other words if no other codes are coming up after the 12 (3 times) you're in good shape and your computer isn't detecting any malfunctions. I hope this helps.
