I got a 5-speed manual with 2002 ecotec motor cavalier ls sport........As soon as I pulled up to the stop sign I pressed on my brakes and my clutch and put it in neutral............My car stopped...then I was waiting for the other car to go.........All of a sudden my engine was shaking and it felt like it was going to die......and then I went to first gear and pressed on the gas a little to make my turn then the she just died........I restarted it and it ran fine for now and didn't die on me after that.........but the wierd thing was I had a quart tank of gas and once I started her back up and drove off, I noticed that the gas was on low, but after a minute or two the pressure went back to where it was suppose to be before it died....I know that I didn't stall the car myself, It just died on me for the very first time and it's got almost 49,000 miles on it and I already changed my fuel filter at 39,000 and change oil every 2,500 miles....... so I keep it well maintain.......next thing is I am going to install my d-specs w/ b-g sport springs and change brakes and rotors and spark plugs, maybe flush the system too..............but any ideas why this happened??? I hope it's nothing major and just a freak accident b/c I just dropped alot of money on a brand new clutch and slave cylinder, cause the slave was leaking about a month or so ago...........Sorry about the long message!!!!!! But I had to say what I had to say...........Peace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sounds like the fuel pump. I had this happen to me on a Jeep - the fuel pump would kick off randomly and got worse over time because the lining on the inside of the tank was chipping off and clogging it. I'm pretty sure you're fuel pump and level sensor are an integrated assembly. If this is the case, it might be an electrical connection if it's a single connector to the entire assembly.
I've never seen the cavalier fuel pump setup so I'm just guessing.

Your computer needs to be reflashed many many ppl on here have that problem. There should be a service bulletin about it if you check with your service dept.
