Possible: Timing is off, or carb is out of adjustment. I would have the timing checked. Timing might be off right at the crank and cam. Chain drive. It can slip or just have too much slack, depends on mileage.
Carburetor is a part in the Chevy Cavalier. It begins with the letter c.
Clean out the carburetor with gas, the reason it wont keep running is its not getting enough gas through the carburetor.
spark plug gap, gas/air mixture on carb.
A carburetor will not start when it does not yet enough fuel. A carburetor will not start if it gets too much. Fuel and not enough air.
If 1977 is not a miss print, then that means you have a carburetor that the chock is not closing when the engine is cold or the Accelerator pump is not working.
no The starter should engage whether the plugs are fouled or not. However, the engine may not start if enough plugs are fouled. If you feel that you have flooded the engine or fouled the plugs you may need to clean them before it will start. If you have caused the carburetor float level or other settings to be significantly changed, the engine will flood and it will not start.
I Would say the choke on your one barrel carburetor is sticking Start the engine. Let the engine reach operating temperature.Remove your Air cleaner to your Carburetor while the engine is running.Look down the throat of the carburetor and you will see a round flap A.K.A the butterfly.This flap should be completely open when the engine is at operating temperature open so that the air can pass through the throat of the carburetor freely. If you don't understand how a choke works go to howstuffworks and ask how a carburetor choke works and it will all make since.

It is where the carburetor controls the flow of air and fuel into the engine allowing it start up when the engine is cold. It does this automatically instead of having to do it yourself.
Yes. to solve the problem strangle the fuel pipe to cut flow of fuel and persistently start the engine it should solve the problem.
Sounds like vapor lock. The fuel in the line to the carburetor is vaporizing before it enters the engine.
