2005 chevy cavalier 2.2

Asked by Lindi Nov 23, 2020 at 04:59 PM about the 2005 Chevrolet Cavalier Sedan FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Car was starting up rough but running ok otherwise the
next time it was driven  it just died about 30 mins later,
wouldn't start. When I got it home(towed) it started up  
rough but after a few it smoothed out so we took it for a
test run a couple miles down road put more gas in shut it
off went in a store for a couple minutes then when we
started it back up it kept dying barely for home. If it's sets
it eventually  will start and it runs rough and you gotta give
it gas until it idles by itself it will run for a bit in idle but
when gas is hit again it dies. I have cleaned the cat doesn't
seem to be that any ideas?
