trixama try the distributor on the 8v it is on the right as you look at the engine and has the plug leads connected to it with an orange cap(borch/delco). the dizzy is a hall effect and when the modulator inside gets hot it breaks down. get one from a breakers yard and fit it on it will do the trick  CLICK HERE to post your answer/comment Date Posted 10/10/2005   Sam hi. i had such a problem on my cavalier, and found it to be as simple as tightening the terminals on the batter, it might work, but its that simple that you have to try, let me know if it works.  CLICK HERE to post your answer/comment Date Posted 11/10/2005   danny sounds to me like your idle switch but put it on a diagnosic machine to be sure...  CLICK HERE to post your answer/comment Date Posted 13/10/2005
