Cavalier SS 2.2L

Car stalled usually when i come to a stop doesn't matter if its hot or cold it was just like something was choking it. Also when I filled up on gas every time I had to crank for a long time and pump the gas to get it started.

(reported on)

Cavalier Z24

  • Automatic transmission
  • 100,000 miles

Car dies when i give it gas... Can't drive it obviously! Dealership wanted to charge like $900 for spark plugs and fuel filter, did it myself for under $30 but the problem must be something more severe. Looking for help!
