problem #2

Cavalier

  • miles
At times, during the past several months this vehicle has been hard to start. Had the fuel pump and ignition switch replaced, but did not seem to solve the problem. Recently, the car stalled out while driving and took 15 minutes to finally re-start. I have read online where this has been a problem for other owners of Chevy Cavaliers- hard to start and stalls out sometimes. Not sure what is causing the problem, because the check engine light does not come on and there is no code to diagnosis/read.

When starting the vehicle, every month or so it will turn over once and the power will shut off and when I let off the key it will come back on. Then try to start again and it will. Maybe a problem with the ignition or starter.
