Check Engine Light On Problems of Chevrolet Cavalier

Abs, trac off and check engine lights stay on. There is a TSB on this but since it affects brake operation this should be a mandatory recall.

Idle miss while auto is in gear (automatic). Initial occurrence 15000-20000 miles. Started when at a stop light you could feel the miss it was every 30-45 seconds. No check engine light associated with problem. Has gotten worse, still no check engine light. Now it stalls and you can watch the tachometer drop 25-50 rpm. Took it to the dealership under extended warranty @ 512010 miles. Dealership said it was #2 cylinder misfire. Changed ignition module & coil pack. I picked it up and drive it 1. 5 miles and it was the same. Took it back and they swapped injectors with another cylinder and spark plugs, changed fuel filter. Picked it up again. Same problem. Dealership said they cannot fix it until there is a check engine light, even though problem could be duplicated every time car was taken back to the dealership. I had the service writer and the actual mechanic in the car with me each time and they agreed there was a problem. As of this date 1-18-10 problem still exists.

Car idles extrmemly rough and feels like it is going to stall. Bogs while driving, makes a firing noise from the tailpipe. I put better gas in the car, new spark plugs and fuel injector cleaner. No help. Check engine light comes on when car is started, but also goes off just as fast. When idling, it does not stay at the same level. Very rough. Cluster for digital odometer is broken, I need to bang on the dashboard to read the mileage. The light in the center console is also out.

While driving engine check light came on , vehcile started to shake and stalled out. Engine had blown.

Gas gauge, speedometer and temperature light will not work. At the same time all of the panel lights will come on - gas light, engine light, brake light, etc. Then all of the sudden everything will work properly. This occurs at least once a day, and has been happening since approximately 25,000 miles. Was taken to a dealer for the odometer reading hieroglyphics but nothing was resolved.

This e-mail is in regards to my 1998 Cavalier rs. This car has been nothing but trouble since I bought it on June 29, 1998. Just 14 months after I purchased the car, the clutch goes out. Then it goes out four times thereafter. A total of five times my clutch has went out. The reason I purchased a brand new automobile was for the dependency of the Chevrolet product. I was mistaken in my thinking obviously. That dates of having to replace the clutch master cylinder are as follows: 08/29/99, 04/05/01, 08/09/01, 10/17/01, 06/26/03. I understand things go wrong with vehicles, but five times on the same problem. (no the clutch is not being ridden. ) thankfully I have reimbursment towing on my insurance, considering I was miles away from a Chevrolet dealership. Also, the engine light came on July 20, 1999 (13 months after I bought the car). My receipt states all the cylynders were misfiring. On November 21, 2001 my catatylic converter had to be replaced. (don't ever go on a trip in this car!) all the work stated above was done by Chevrolet dealerships. The car is paid for now and they received all of their money out of me. I just hope this doesn't happen to someone else. (the car was in my grandmother's name, mary h. Decker 3416 st ann st owensboro, ky 42303. It is now in the process of changing the name on the title. ).
