Seems to be a popular issue with this damn car.

Now my fiances 98 Cavalier is running bad.
funny thing bein in 2 weeks we wre buying her a new car.

I was going to get gas for her (was right on E) and the car started sputtering like it had a miss.
pull over and pop the hood and everything looks ok.
At first it seemed like it was starved for fuel, so i went and put 2 gallons in it (thank god gas is down to 2.25).

Crank it and problem persists.
It seems like my engine is not breathing.

Now, less than 2,000miles ago, new plugs, wires, fuel filter, air filter, and coolant flushed.

No Check Engine light even though its running poor as f**k...

COuld it be the Idle Air Control on it?

I'm a diesel tech, so I have no idea how this front drive 4 banger functions.

Help would be greatly appreciated.
