I own a '96 Chevy Lumina that has the same problem and it sounds like it is a fairly common problem. I don't actually have the solution, however I know that if I turn the car to the on position and sit for a couple of minutes, then try and crank it over, it will magically start. I was thinking maybe there is just a bad connection or wire somewhere in the ignition system.
how can i change the turn singal on a 1990 Chevy lumina
One reason a 1993 Chevy Lumina may turn over but not start could be the battery. It may also be the spark plugs.
hook back the horn 1994 chevolet lumina
Turn the Radio off, Push the set button, use the seek and scan buttons to change the time
Starter has no voltage or insufficient to turn engine, possibly bad solenoid or something wrong with connections.
Pull back on the turn signal stalk
The button to turn on the hazards in Chevy lumina is on top of the steering wheel column.
Just had my turn signal switch replaced, for the second time, on my '98 Chevy Lumina. I paid $260 to a fairly trustworthy auto repair mechanic
pull the steering wheel
If the 1990 Chevy Lumina is blowing the DIS 10 Amp fuse when the ignition is on, check to make sure that all wires coming from this fuse are grounded properly. Also check to make sure the starter is wired properly. There could also be a loose wire in the dash near the ignition.
