Default got marshmallows?

I have a 1995 monte carlo that must have had a curse put on it.... ok I replaced theengine and now as soon as it warms up it shuts off sometimes it strarts right back up other times you need to wait a few minuites also it usually only runs a few mins at most b4 shutting off again it is annoying me as i would love to have the car done so i can use it thanks brian

if it's the 3.1 I would say look into your ignition modual, crank or cam sensor. The 3.1's are know for this problem. Usually is the ign modual, wich is under the coil packs.

could be your idle air control motor, sometimes that can cause stupid stuff to happen..and they're not too much money either
