Question
Have an 03 Cavalier that stalls when I'm backing up. Also, seeing service engine and low traction lights on dash when driving occassionally. Had it put on diagnostic machine today. Computer did not diagnose a problem but of course they recommended a new fuel filter and 200 bucks more worth of maintenance that I received hopeing to solve the problem. The car just stalled again when I backed up. Starts right back up

Answer
hi
 I do not know where or who you took it to but I don't think that they know what they are doing as I think the computor should be re-set and the idle should go up a bit. find a new meck. as a certafied CHEVY dealer must know what they are doing.You had it serviced and you still stall- go to a real mech.If you can start right back up that is good but stalling is not good .I don't know why they did not adj. it.
