Engine Mechanical problem
1994 Pontiac Sunbird 4 cyl Automatic 102000 miles

i have a 1994 sunbird le 4 cylinder when driving if i come to a quick stop it stalls and doesnt want start for few minutes. i was told it was a oil sensor but the oil in car is full. i was also told it was some other sensor that is located on the manifold and this sensor has little piston in it. i was told take that particular sensor off and clean with carb cleaner and not mess with piston on it or it wouldnt be no good. i dont remember what that sensor is called. so what do you think the problem is?

Hello, do some of the basic tests. Check for codes. When it refuses to restart, open the throttle just a little, that should bypass the idle-air system. Take the throttle-body off and give it a good cleaning.
