Some Chevrolet Lumina APV owners report experiencing overheating and stalling issues, particularly at stops, which may be linked to problems with the Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) system. These owners have noted that stalling at stops, especially after decelerating from higher speeds, can be caused by a faulty Torque Converter Clutch solenoid. Additionally, intermittent stalling right after slowing or stopping may be associated with a sticking MAP sensor connected to the air filter canister. While some owners find they can restart the minivan, it may require shifting into gear at a higher rev to avoid stalling again, particularly in models with an automatic transmission. It is recommended to have the Torque Converter Clutch solenoid inspected and potentially replaced to effectively resolve these stalling issues.
