I have a chevy lumina apv with the 3.8 liter engine. It started off this spring with stalling a couple of times in a couple of months. But it would start right up. Then sometimes it would not even start when the engine was warm. As well as when it would stall now it wasn't always starting back up. Any common things that have been seen on these.

Hi:
Have you had the car checked for trouble codes? If not, take it to an nationally recognized parts store like Auto Zone and have them scan it. Most of these stores will scan if for free.

The reason for this is because there are several things that could cause your problem, and I don't want you to start throwing money into things that don't need repaired.

Let me know what you find.

Joe
