Engine constantly stalls!

Ok, and just to be on the safe side, what else should I be looking for in case that does not turn out to be the problem?

I hope this e-mail isn't too long. But, I am relaying a condensed version of what was explained to me. I hope you can help as I have not run across this type of situation before will need to explain what My mothers Lumina (4dr sedan) locked up like the master cylinder just went out. Then it will start but runs VERY rough. Power steering does not work, battery light and check engine lights flash. She is finally able to get vehicle running enough make the left turn and basically coast into a parking lot. Once I arrive it starts fine still running a bit rougher than usual I left it there for the night and drovei t home this morning every thing is running ALMOST normal it's just a little rough.
I am sorry I couldn't donate more But as an unemployed single mom taking care of my mother there isn't much right now. Thats why I am doing my own repairs and you guys have the BEST site out there Your iinfo has helped me with my S-10 Blazer and Sentra!
Thanks in advance

7:00 PM - The belt is fine and still on vehicle.
When this happened my Mom was making a left from 1 major street onto another major street. She was moving forward at approx. 10-20 mph coming to a stop at the light, and suddenly the car died. After about 5 attempts the car finally restarted, but to keep it running had to keep foot on accelorater to keep the rpms up. Then during the left turn the car did a brake lock-up thing, it came to a SUDDEN stop with tires squealing (like when our Master Cylinder went out), it was so sudden that seat belt didn't engage and hit nose on steering wheel, that is also the same time that Power Steering went out then car died she restarted the car but it had no power/ MAJOR power loss and was able to coast a parking lot. Still with no Power steering. Was able to keep car running for a while. Then turned it off and about 30-45 min. I got there started it no prob. Just rough. Since it was 5 PM I left car there until following morning. You know the rest of the story.

9:30 PM - I just drove the car to Auto Zone and they did a scan on the car and the code it came back with is the "Camshaft Position Sensor" faulting.

Thank You !

My 98 chevy lumina is having a problem staying running. At first it wouldn't start but when it does you can go in reverse but cannot go forward. The car will automatically shut off. It's been to two different garages and no one can figure out the problem. The day that it didn't want to start it sounded almost like I hit something before I shut it off. I need suggestions on what it might be and I need a car quick. I have a baby.

Have someone scan the codes. A full scan, not one of those cheap $400 pepboys scanners. If I would have done that in the first place, could have saved a grand in new sensors, etc.

When you start vehicle, it only stays running if your foot is on the gas

While driving my lumina the car stopped running. The battery was dead. After having it towed I changed the battery and when I tried to start it, it would not turn over. I heard clicking noise and then nothing. I changed the starter and now when I try to turn it over I get clicking but the car will not turn over. Is there something else I am missing?

Computer problem

well I have had this problem for quite sometime now. Ive gone threw about 4 batteries and got my altenator checked 2 times. Still dies. Someone at autozone told me it could be the control module, so I changed it and got another new battery. It worked good for about 3 days, then I tried to start it today. Nothing like the battery is dead again. I jumped it and it started. And it started making a noise ive never heard before. Sounds like its coming from the a/c on the serpintine line. But I know it will just die again. What in the world is goin on? Maybe a bad altenator cable? Ground wire from battery? Or could the starter make this do it? Or could I be completey wrong and its something with the computer? Its driving me nuttz! Im new to this so I know I will donate soon! And I cannot find the manuel for my car anywhere I checked online and stores

I'mnot sure if I have the question right, so if I am answering something you didn't ask. Sorry.

So if your problem is that if the car sits the battery dies and it wont start without a jump. You have a draw. The simplest way to find a draw is to: 1. Buy a cheap test light. 2. Remove your negative battery cable then connect one end of the test light to the negitive spot on the battery and the other end to the cable you just removed. Pretty much your using the test light to reconnect the negative cable. If the light is on (with the door closed) you probably have a draw. Then its a matter of pulling fuses until the light goes off. Once you find the fuse that shuts the light of you know that for some reason that circuit is drawing down your battery. Two little side notes. The dome light must be shut off or pull the illumination fuse so the light is off. With your door open the light will cause the test light to come on. This is the simplest way to test for a draw without spending a pile of money. Also know that there is a normal amount of draw in most cars. But if the test light shines brite it more then likely is a harmfull draw.

My car has started stalling out and will start back but will keep on stallining out if the rpms are under 2, it will start to sputter like it is out of gas and it will stall out, start right back p and stall out when I start driving it. It will stay running for hours if its just idleing. We cleaned out the egr hoses and replaced the egr valve because that is what the tester said is wrong with it. Still doing the same.
