If you're not getting power to anything when this happens then I would tend to think is a main connection of some sort.

Check the battery connections, ground cables etc. Where ever the main cables connect at the battery, starter, and various connections. There are also more than likely 'body ground' straps or cables also. Check to see if all are clean of any rust or corrosion and are tight.

Though not as likely, it MAY possibly be a battery which is loosing connection internally.

I wouldn't recommend going out and buying a battery though. I would simply check the connections as suggested and go from there.

Hope this helps.

SOURCE: cavalier dies

you need to find the fuel pressure release around the fuel rail press the little tab when the car dies. If there is no fuel coming out from that point, your fuel pump is going.

If vehicle was left outside or in an unheated garage, there is a strong possibility that condensation has contaminated your fuel. Easiest way to check is to remove fuel filter and pour contents into a glass jar. If you see two different layers of liquid in the jar, the bottom part is water. Replace with new filter and drop the tank. Remove sending unit. pour contents into a large container and clean out inside with clean dry rags. Remember, fuel is dangerous to work with and fumes travel pretty far on the ground. So, no open flames electrical stuff, cigarettes etc for a good perimeter around work area. Generally, you can re-use top 3/4 of fuel you removed by syphon. Don't use remainder in your vehicle. Part can be used for lawnmower etc as long as you only take the part above the water line.

SOURCE: while driving my car lost power and then died. wont re-start

Hey first thing you want to do is make sure its getting fuel .. Try shooting a little gas into the air cleaner and crank it and see if it starts .. if it does your fuel pump might be the problem .. or use a little either instead of gas either will let you know if its a fuel problem .. sounds like to me that might be what it is. holler if you need more and thanks Jerry

Replace the fuel pump relay, it's easy and cheap.

I have a 97 chevy cavalier with a 2.2 liter engine and an automatic trans. i replaced the head gasket and it ran fine for about a month. Then it suddenly started sputtering and stalling, it also had a loss...

you need to take the car to a muffler shop and have the catylitic converter changed... the converter is stopped up not letting the exaust leave the engine thus stopping it.

1995 chevy cavalier transmission cycles from 2 to drive

Might need trans fluid or could have a bad servo in the valve body which would mean trans. work.
