94 lumina started stalling
Ok, so my 1994 chevy lumina euro coupe 3.1L has started stalling now that it is getting colder outside. This morning on my way to school. I started my car and put it in reverse and backed out a little bit and it stalled out. So I started it back up and it was ok. It acted like it was going to stall out again but it didn't. This has happened a total of 3 times now in the past week. Does anyone know what the problem could be and how I can fix this?
Also I do have a fuel problem as well. My car smells of VERY STRONG gas when sitting. And I am getting 11.9 mpg in the city and 14.7 mpg on the highway. Oh, and one more thing. I slowly lose coolant in my resovoir tank. It is a very slow leak and only leaks while the car runs. Last edited by brianjr323; 10-06-2014 at 08:27 AM. Reason: added more information |

You need to track down the fuel leak first, check for fuel in the hose to the press. regulator.

Re: 94 lumina started stalling
It is connected to the fuel pressure regulator on the fuel rail, it is small about 1/4 inch. Go to autozone.com repair guides for pics, or google 3.1 fuel pressure regulator.

Re: 94 lumina started stalling
Alright, thanks. I will check this when I get home from school today before I go into work. Is it easily accessible too?

Re: 94 lumina started stalling
Is it possible to get to my fuel pressure regulator without removing the intake manifold? Because I have tried looking for it before and seen online that it is in the intake manifold?

Re: 94 lumina started stalling
The regulator vacuum hose isn't leaking fuel so that isn't my problem apparently.
