Put the catalytic converter back on, and check for vacuum leaks and proper routing of all vacuum hoses.

After removing converter and replacing crankshaft sensor vehicle ran for 6 months. Problem came back we cleaned crankshaft sensor, vehicle ran fine for 15 minutes and then started hesitating to the point of not starting. Now it will start and has a miss. Don’t know what the problem is.  
I don’t want to drive it again for 15 minutes to be stranded again.

I had significant hesitation and stalling when stopped on a 91 lumina 4dr. Finally solved by replacing plugs and wires. This car seems to be a bit hard on wires – it likes a new set every 20k miles or so.
