My Lumina when I start it up runs rough and when I put it into gear it begins to stutter and then just dies out as if it is not getting any gas.

When it stalls out I try to restart it but it attempts to start but appears to not get any fuel to the engine.

This only happens every so often, maybe once every 2 weeks.

The car after sitting for about an hour starts right up and runs fine til the next time it decides to stall out.

I can not get the car to produce the problem for local mechanics and they have tested the fuel pump.

What could the problem be?

Have you done a relearn on the pass-key?
GM PASS LOCK RELEARN- Ignition to "run" position, try to start and let key return to "run" position
Approx ten minutes security light will go off
Turn key "off" and wait 5 seconds
Repeat 2 more times for a total of 3 relearns.
Turn key off, then start it
