1992 pontiac sunbird engine chokes out

Oxygen sensors just affect gas mileage.

Your problem sounds heat related. You need to keep a bottle of water in the car. You can isolate the problem by quickening the 30 minutes of waiting to one minute of dumping cold water. When you chill the right part, and the car starts right up, you'll know what's bad. We had a 97 Nissan at work with a bad MAF that dis the same thing. With a 92 Sunbird I suspect an ignition component is more likely.

Hello, I really need help with thisproblem. my 92 sunbird starts fine but after 10 miles of driving, when coming to a stop sign or traffic light the engine shuts down. The car idles fine, but when I take it out of park through reverse, neutral and into drive the car lurches forward and dies. It runs (idles) fine in park and neutral. If I raise the hood and sit for 20-30 minutes I can go on my way for another 10 miles. Has any one experienced this phenomen? Can the o-2 sensor cause this problem?? I get stuck everywhere.

I guess you didn't like my first response, last week GW
