1994 Chevy Lumina APV 3.1L V6 158+k miles
Ok, had start problems initially...figured it was starter too late and towed to my favorite mech.
After replacing the starter van had an issue when trying to accel to speed limit of on ramp/thruway got up to about 50mph and lost everything?!?! Took it back to my fav mech and he checked fuel filter, PSI, good spark, and checked the fuel module. It ended up being the fuel module he said was not recieving a pulse.
$500 bucks later, still seem to have the same accel prob. Was on way to work changing lanes and began to accel over 55 to pass. I had the accel to the floor and engine didn't do a thing! Speedometer fell like a rock and all I could do was sit and watch (in the meantime PO the guy who decided to follow my lead--guess he figured I did it on purpose!!).
Anyway, after letting the van slow down, I let off the accel and slowly increased speed in hopes of it coming back. It thankfully did. However, it seems that my problem still lingers within the machine and I cannot figure out what it could be? Would like to not have to spend another $500 to determine what this problem is, but I think I may have to.
Any suggestions...Yes, I'd like to buy a new vehicle, but already did that so the wife and kids have a safe reliable vehicle...I'd rather keep this another year for back and forth to work...hopefully??
