Hi Guys,
This is my first post in this forum. I own a Lumina LS 1988. It has a mind of its own, it runs perfectly well some time, and rough most of the time. But it never stopped on roads. Two weeks back, one fine morning, i started and drove it for 2-3 miles and it died suddenly. I start it again and and drove well for another 15 min. It died again. I could start the engin again, but it dies after a minute or so( even at idle). Some times it would run 5 - 10 minutes(idle) before it dies again.
I went to a mechanic who told me that my injectors are clogged. He added two bottles of AC DELCO fuel injector cleaner into a fulltank. and started the car again. To my surprise, the car started running smooth. I have't seen my car running this smooth in the last whole year.
After a week of happy driving( about 1000km), my Engine died out on road today again. I could start the engin again , and drove home(3miles)- it died twice on the way. My petrol tank still has the same gas mixed with injector cleaner. Its starting , running for 5-10minutes(idle) dying.
I am yet 2 see the mechanic again.
Any clues?
please help!
