Not all the time but sometimes my car will die as I am turning or start driving after being at a light etc? Any suggestions of what it could be? thanks

Asked by colorfulhorses Jun 26, 2007 at 02:03 AM about the 2002 Chevrolet Cavalier

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Not more to add, but it idols fine for a while and than it will get sporatic and sound like it is going to die and than it will be fine. I turn a corner and it will die, or start up after stopping at a stop light it will die. It does start right back up. Took it to Chevy and they put it on the computer and they say nothing is wrong. Any suggestions
Thanks

There are so many reasons for it to be stalling. Not sure why a dealer would tell you nothing is wrong if the car is stalling. Check the fuel pump and fuel pump regulator. Maybe take it to a different Chevy dealer and ask them to take a look or take it back to the same one and tell them to get their act together and find out whats wrong with your car.

I am the owner of a 1996 Chevy cavalier and have replaced thye following parts; fuel pump, fuel filter, ignition module, and crank sensor and I am still having problems with it cutting off after driving about 20-30 minutes.

I have something to state: I've asked How to bypass the Anti Theft system in my car. The responses I am receiving are becoming rude. I'm not trying to steal my own car. The car doesn't start anymore. It almost turns over but doesn't stay start. Instead of having to replace the Fuel Pump I was trying to reset the Anti Theft System. I asked how to by pass the system and am being accused of trying to steal cars. If I had the money to take it to the dealer, I would!!! I can't seem to reset it if that is why it is not starting. So ya thanks for judgments!?m 4 answers

I wanted to by pass / reset the Anti Theft System to see if it would start, before I have to replace the Fuel Pump. All I have received is snide comments and accusations of stealing cars.
