Look for a broken or missing rubber vacuum cap on a vacuum port on the front side of the intake. If it is broken or missing, the vacuum leak will cause certain sensors to misread and it may overfuel the engine. ANY substantial vacuum leak will do that also. The classic symptom is that it runs fine for up to 15 minutes froma cold start. If it cools down and runs good again until it warms up, that is the clue. It has to do with the point where the fuel system goes from open loop into a closed loop operation.

I believe you are seeing your Oxygen or 'O2' sensor. It measures the ratio of oxygen in the exhaust and sends the info to your car's computer while you are driving. If the O2 sensor is bad your car can run poorly. It is one of the more important sensors on you car.
If your 1990 Lumina has gas in the oil pan, then there could be a stuck injector flooding the engine. There can also be a blown head gasket. Driving the vehicle can destroy the engine.
