What year car, does it start right back up, need more info here! What does and "too little mean"?

ok its a 93 lumina 3.1 70k have'nt had any major problems before.

I meant that i have to push the pedal a little bit if i push it to much it will also cause it to turn off. Iam thinking that it could be a fuel injector problem but iam not sure.

check your fuel pressure, it should be in the range of 44 -47 lbs.. if it's lower than that have your fuel pump checked..

The throttle position sensor could be giving fits, also.

I'm not sure about the older body lumina's, but the newer body one's are a piece of cake to swap.

The 93 model has to have the tank dropped to change the fuel pump. It doesn't have the access door in the trunk like newer W-bodies.
