Sounds like clogged fuel injectors or fuel filter.
Check and clean the MAF sensor.
that year had the jet engine option
its a chev try changing fuel and air filters
No
As a gm tech at a Chevy dealer i have seen many impala catyletic converters get clogged. Your gm dealer has to warranty a new one if you have less than 80,000 on it
It is possible there is a baad oil leak on the exhaust. Have it checked out. Good luckJoe
Could be, A plugged fuel filter, A damaged/plugged catalytic converter, Fuel pump failure,
CHECK YOUR LUG NUTS
chances are good in your 1996 Chevy lumina if there is a slight tapping noise, check the oil. it may be low, or you may need to add a thicker additive. good luck!
I would try replacing the fuel filter first.
If the acceleration occurs when you are in a turn you probably have a broken motor mount.
On a 1994 Chevy Z-71 I had 285/75-16 (roughly 33x11.5-16) with slight rubbing at on A-arms at steer lock
