#1 of 143 car wants to die when at a stop sign by beehive Feb 27, 2007 (6:48 am)
Please help. I have a 2004 cavalier and when I am stopped at a stop sign the car acts like it wants to die, I have to put it in park and push in on the gas so it dosen't die. I changed out the fuel filter and air filter. anyone have any ideas on what it can be? I am would like to fix it myself, but I am new to all of this.

i'm not sure have you checked the plugs. if it's been a while it would be a good idea. also the plug wires might be arking out. you can fix that with a set of new ones. good luck. Replies to this message: beehive (Feb 27, 2007 12:32 pm)

#6 of 143 03 Cavalier won't start - Please help. by kylerousseau Mar 13, 2007 (4:27 pm)
I forgot it running, it ran out of gas and sat until the battery went dead with the key in the "on" position. Now it won't start. Security light, check gauges and service lights all stay on. Gas gauge doesn't register any gas (I put 4 gallons in). Very little gas pressure. Has power to the ICM. No power to fuel pump. Any ideas? Thanks.

Replying to: kylerousseau (Mar 13, 2007 4:27 pm) Never heard of that before. Try this, disconnect both battery terminals and touch them together, then hook up positive first then negative. No sure if it will work, but worth a try.
#8 of 143 96 cavalier problem by mesteed May 28, 2007 (5:31 am)
My daughter's 96 cavalier shuts off sometimes while she is driving. It starts right back up but is very dangerous. Any ideas on what would cause this? Please help!

Replying to: mesteed (May 28, 2007 5:31 am) i think i may have had the same problem i live outside of pittsburgh and while driving on I-376 in rush hour traffic it shut off. it ended up being a bad connection from the battery to the fuse box under the hood. of course i have an 02 not a 96. but check that out. bad wires or just a connection?

Replying to: mdmckee (May 28, 2007 8:33 pm) Thanks for information. We are going to check the fuel filter and those wires and connection tomorrow. I appreciate your help!
