I have a 91 Chevy Lumina and it possibly died today after runnning roughly for several months. I am no mechanic at all, but it did help when I started: 1. Using Premium gas, 2. Had the Jiffy Lube special fuel injector cleaning ($50), 3. Have used STP (red bottle) w/every fourth fill-up (approx.), and I believe a mechanic cleaned the fuel injection system by hand (????). Anyway, I have had lots of troubles, but by the Lord's grace have not been in an accident. It used to die when I slowed down and turned corners, or even when I just slowed down. That is, before I had all the fuel injection cleaning, etc. and began running Premium (another Providential blessing because I didn't go, "Oh, hey, it needs this..). I think it mine has a fuel/pressure issue or broken fuel sensor (???). When the tank is full, it acts better and vice versa. Until today, when it's just pooped out. I had the battery jumped, which helped until I got home; now, I may need it jumped again. That may have nothing to do with the above, only the battery, of course. Anyway, God bless.

The issue may be with the fuel pump. There may also be a problem with the oxygen censor not allowing enough air flow.

What would cause a rough idle on a 1990 Chevy lumina?
Had the same problem w/ a '92 lumina a couple years back. the car would barely idle and stall or idle and pick up speed until it got to like 30. forget what the part's called, but it gets clogged up and just has to be cleaned out. not too expensive. guess its common w/ luminas and cavaliers

Get a tune-up ... change plugs, etc etc. The MAP sensor was probable only part of the problem.

Check all vacuum lines
You changed your sparks plugs on your eighty nine dodge Dakota and now it runs rough could it be timing or a vacuum leak?
Was the truck running OK before the plugs were changed?If ok before the plugs were changed then I would recheck the plug gap & check the plug wires. It is easy to damage the carbon fiber inside the wires. If they are old say around 40.000 miles I would change them. If truck was running rough before plugs were changed I would look at timing & vaccuum. Also cap & rotor. The converter can be a problem with rough engine perform. Check for bad gas.
