if it tends to sputter and have no power i would suggest the fuel pump. it it is only after the car has warmed up, or a while after you start driving it might be the ignition module.
1996 Chevrolet cavalier shuts off while driving and have to put in natural or park to restart
Have someone check your fuel pump pressure,if you lose fuel pressure while driving,and then it comes back that would explain why it seems to start by itself.
While driving my cavalier will shift into high gear for at least a couple of minutes. Shifting gears,giving it gas does not help. Any suggestions?
Wheel bearing
blown engine, out of gas janitorial duties.
No, the hood from a 1997 Chevrolet Cavalier will not fit a 2004 Cavalier. While both vehicles are part of the Cavalier lineup, they have different body styles and dimensions. The 2000 model year introduced a significant redesign, which means parts like the hood are not interchangeable between these two generations.
The 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier Z24 was part of the fourth generation of the Cavalier lineup, produced from 1995 to 2005. While exact production numbers for the 2000 model year specifically are not commonly detailed, the overall production of the Cavalier throughout its run was significant, with hundreds of thousands of units sold each year. The Z24 variant, being a sportier model, had a smaller share of that total. For precise numbers, it would be best to refer to Chevrolet production records or automotive industry databases.
Replace the fuel filter, that is a good place to start.
If memory serves me right, you press in on the collar at the cylinder and hold it in while you pull on the line.
I'd check the coolant level first, then the thermostat.
Wheel bearings and allignment. Can be tires as well and sometimes even a bad motor mount.
What can cause the RPM on a car to jump while driving is a problem with the transmission. It could be a problem with the gears in the transmission itself.
