Lumina sputtering

My 1991 Lumina Euro sputters at idle and during acceleration and then all of a sudenly it runs fine. Untill I stop or slow down a lot and then it begins to sputter again and during acceleration and again all of a sudden it runs just fine.
Any ideas?

Welcome to AF, many things can cause this, low fuel pressure, bad plugs, wires, coil pack. These are some things to check out.

Re: Lumina sputtering

I'm right in the middle of this. My old 91 started to sputter and search for idle
at a stop. Now it won't run at all, but thanks to members here I've been getting
some great tips and advise on finding the prob. Once I do find and cure this,
I'll be happy to share what I found and what I had to do to get it right.

Life's too short and I don't want to spend it working on some old car..

How did you determine that the coil pack was the problem?
