Chevrolet Lumina engine starts normally but stalls shortly after moving on Chevrolet Lumina

Problem overview

Some Chevrolet Lumina owners report experiencing stalling shortly after starting the engine, which can be attributed to several potential issues. These include a dirty throttle body that may lead to low idle speeds, erratic idle behavior causing the engine to die without acceleration, and problems with the fuel filter that can result in stalling after short periods of parking. Additionally, issues with the ignition control module, particularly during heat soak, can cause the vehicle to stall soon after moving. A faulty crank sensor is another common culprit that can lead to the engine dying shortly after starting. Owners may also need to check the battery and alternator health, as well as the PCV valve, since a malfunctioning valve can affect engine performance. It is recommended that owners experiencing these issues consult a professional mechanic for a thorough diagnosis and resolution.
