My 97 did the same thing until I put in a new water pump.

How much does something like that cost?

I had mine done by the dealer. The pump was cheap but there was some labor. I think it was about $200.

Not really a miss

Have a 95 Lumina 3.1. Just starting having this problem on the way home from work this am. Started hesitating at stop light when I go to take off. Push the gas and almost dies then goes. Doesnt seem to have any other problems until stopped at another light. Same thing starts to stall then goes. Just changed the plugs and put injector cleaner in. Used some carb cleaner on the throttle body. Was wondering if it might be injector problem or maybe fuel filter. Although would seem if it was fuel filter it wouldnt run that well at high speed. Only does it at take off.Any ideas?

Gas Filter or plug wires. I've had to change both on my 97.

Have you checked the thermostat? I've had this stick on other vehicle's I've owned causing an inaccurate and/or variable reading on the temperature guage. One problem I had was my engine was overheating but my temperature guage wasn't reading it, showing a normal temp. Didn't know anything was wrong until the engine ran so hot it blew a 6 inch hole in my radiator! It was caused by the thermostat sticking. It can stick in either the open or closed position causing an inaccurate guage reading. Best to replace it since on most vehicles it's a relatively inexpensive part.

Go to "chevy.com" and register on their website. You can order manuals thru them or view on-line. I just looked it up myself on the 1998 Lumina I recently purchased.

I dont think its been that long since I replaced the plug wires. They looked fine on the ends. But is a possibility. Havent got a clue where the filter is. Probably takes another special tool. I have a garage full of special tools for everything else.Was looking in manual and sounds like it might be egr valve. Am going to the junk yard today. 180 bucks for a new one. Pcv valve didnt look to good either. What about the fuel pump any thoughts on that? Wouldnt seem like it would be only on take off if it was that but stranger htings have happened. Thanks for the info SAC
