Why does my Chevy Cavalier stall at 70 mph?

This week on I-84 at 70 mph, car dies. Was able to coast of an exit ramp. Pulled over, opened the hood, shook the connector, it started right up. Drove it the rest of the week with no issue. Can’t figure out what the deal is, but it is either a connection in the harness, or one of the wires is loose, but it is near impossible to tell.

What’s the problem with my Chevy Cavalier Rs?

I have a 91 Chevy Cavalier RS, 2.2 L. Recently, I’ve noticed an intermittent problem when starting the car (both cold start and warm start). I thought at first it might have been the key, because the keys we had were cheap, badly made Wal-Mart copies so we had a locksmith make an exact replica from the manufacturer’s guide he had.

Why is my Chevy Cavalier running out of gas?

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.

Can a car shift gears without a downshift solenoid?

Downshift solenoids are an important transmission component, and without them, the vehicle will not be able to shift gears properly, sometimes even to the point of rendering the car undriveable.
