2 seperate issues, i think

first off, my car is sitting at a mechanic right now, but im hoping to get answers so i dont get hosed

1997 chevy lumina


main problem, was driving on highway, car stalled at red light, restarted right away...drove a lil then it started to sputter and act like it was gonna stall....gave it gas, kicked in a lil a drove a little more, then same thing.....finally pulled over and it stalled, tried to restart, no luck....waited like 5 minutes, started right up, revved it a lil and let it idle for about 5 minutes, no problems.....got back on road, same thing happened.....this time when i pulled over and it stalled car wouldnt start, waited like 20 minutes started right up.....got someone to follow me home (roughly 20 minutes away)....didnt do it again



2nd issue, weather starting to get colder now, not freezing, but not summer either lol....everytime i start my car i have to let it sit and warm up for atleast 10-20 minutes....if i start up and just go i have hardly any power, it barely even goes....if i give it hard gas it eventually will kick in and go, but if i slow down or stop, the power is low again....does this until i warm it up a bit



any thoughts???

Re: 2 seperate issues, i think

Low fuel pressure is one issue a full scan should reveal some other possibilities, see what the shop says, too early to tell.
