Hi, I have a 95 Lumina and the car will start and runs but it continually stalls for about the first 15 minutes of driving it. I am able to start the car back up but it is very annoying and beginning to become more dangerous. It seems that everytime I go to turn on to streets it will just cut out and with having two children, its not very safe. I'm on a fixed buget and was hoping someone could give me some direction as to possible problems. I have a family member that can try to fix it for me but he has no idea on diagnosing problems. Please help!!!
Also in order to try and keep it running when stopped I have to put it in neutral and keep giving it gas. This usually will help but all it does it cut down the times it stalls. On average the car will stall about 10-15 times when first driving. The wierd thing is that I don't have a problem starting it only keeping it started.
Thanks for any suggestions you might have.

this is just a suggestion but check out the pcv valve or the o2 sensors. hope that helps at all.

I had a similar problem with my 93 Lumina and it turned out to be the ignition module. Try tapping on it with the engine idleing to see if it dies, that is the way a mechanic found out mine was faulty.
