Was starting and running when you first started car enginge light on guages jumping all over then was ok but when driving would stall out now wont start
I would suggest you ask a local mechanic to have a look as i suspect a faulty computer but i have no pratical experiance with this american car ,now with my head under the bonnet i could no doubt have some idea but iam at a loss here as this is obviously a GM product which is a opel here in europe and iam wondering if this has the same siemans ECU as our cars and if it does then these age vehicles always have problems with this ECU ,its starts like you said with all the dials going right over then eventually it starts missing and throwing up all sorts of codes and the cause could be a simple as a coil pack shorting out but it damages the ECU big time but i could be totally wrong here and its completely different which is why i would advise you to ask a local man who works on these cars .

ignition switches are real common.to be bad on these models.
SOURCE: engine lite is on, car
The place to start is to find out what code or codes are stored in the PCM. Once you have that information you should have an idea of where the problem lies. A part store like Autozone can check codes for you if you don't have that capability.
