My 1990 chevrolet corsica 3.1L keeps on stalling. When the car first stalled I was driving to work and at the stop light it just shut down. I restarted it and it start but then when I put it in drive it stalled again and from then it wouldn't start. I had it towed to Midas and the next morning they started it and it worked. They did a diagnostic and said that there's a shortage to do with the starter, so I had my starter replaced. Took it home and still the same problems, it still shut down. I decided to change the ignition coils (the ignition module was changed just 4 months ago) and the car still runs poorly when it does run and then it shuts down again. After the car shuts down, when I restart it, the car does start.

Would any one have any idea what my problem might be.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Make sure your ACDelco plugs and fuel filter have been recently replaced.

I'm sorry txgreasemonkey, but I'm unfamiliar with what an ACDelco plugs are. Are you referring to the spark plugs?
