1999 Chevy cavalier
2.2L
Misfire
Tires and battery and that is it
work done to repair = Tune up (Plugs, wires), new air filter, oil
change
tech = JK
question = Last winter my 1999 Chevy Cavalier started stalling when
coming to a stop when it was cold outside. It does not always stall just
sometimes. After it dies you can immediately start it again with no
trouble. The rest of the time the car starts, runs, and idles fine. You can
even stomp on the gas and the car will go without any hesitation. Once
the weather warmed up the problem went away and I was able to drive
the car all spring, summer, and this fall. Now it is getting cold again
and the problem has come back. I have no dash light and the only error
code I have had indicates a misfire. I would greatly appreciate your
help as I am in college and can not afford the money to take it to a
mechanic right now. Thanks for your help.
JK:
Several things can cause this. If you have a code for a misfire, that should be
the first thing to concentrate on. Being a 4 cyl., if you have a misfire on 1 or 2
cyl., this could be enough to cause it to die. Another thing that can be done is
to have the fuel injectors cleaned, and the throttle bore/blade cleaned. Carbon
build-up in the throttle bore can cause a stall. Sticking fuel injectors are a
common cause for misfire(s) code.
