I know this messages is from months ago, and i hope that you have the car fixed. However if others are having this same problem, I would first check your coils, which are in the front of the engine block and and are on the back of the ignition modulator.
I had this same problem and for months could not figure it out. I had a dear friend of mine work on the car and after he replaced my fuel pressure regulator, we took my coil pack to AUTOZONE and test all 3. it turns out that 1 pack was set at ahigher temperture when the engine is cold. So, after running your car for soo long the coil gets too hot. its only after 45min to an hr that everthing cools off enough to start the engine again.
so take off the set w/ the ignition modulater, coil packs and take them to the auto part store that you can get them tested. My one coil pack that needed replaced was $15.
and car the works fine.
Good luck to all!

Did you ever find the solution to your problem? I have the same problem (one brake light not working) with my 98 Lumina.

I found the problem. It was the turn signal/hazzard switch located in the steering column.

Buy a 96 Chevy Lumina ? by loretts

Hi,
I am new to this forum. I am looking at a 1996 Chevy Lumina, 3.1 V6, 95,000 on the body, with a rebuilt engine of 60,000. Standard features, ABS, AC, driver and passenger airbags,, new battery, new front brakes and rotors, power door locks, manual windows. The previous owner did not keep an eye on engine coolant and blew the engine. A mechanic, (who is now the seller of this vehicle), put the new engine in, as well as the new brakes, battery. He also has done some of the service on the car, the alternator recently.
 
I went over the car with my limited experience. Could not drive it on highway off the lot, no plates, but seems fine. Auto trans shifts smoothly. Engine purrs nicely. Interior is a bit beat, dirty front carpets.
Looking under while on lift, I noticed rear suspension looks flaky rusty, as well as rear brakes drums. Should I be concerned about this? The mechanic said this is normal for a car of this age. However, the front end did not look as rusty, and the 18 year old truck that I drove over in, when I got down and looked underneath for comparison was not as rusty. The car sat for a little while till a new engine came along.
Rest of car seems clean, except for a small paint bubble on right side lower back end of car. Car fax has no alerts.
The mechanic wants to get $2500. I would appreciate some feedback about this car, as I have not owned a Chevy.

Hi, I have exactly the same problem with my lumina 3.1, 95 model.
How did you solve the problem. Was the heater element/air conditioner to blame and if so how do I fix it?
Thanks
