I have a 95 cav. with a 2.2, with 203.000 mi. drove it about 4 miles yesterday stopped the car put it in park it wanted to but would nt and it idled down till it died tried to restart sounds like it wanted to but it wouldnt let it sit till it cooled down and the car started with a slight rough idle, recently replaced iac sensor around 3 months ago and cleaned throttle body and also plugs, any ideas where to start looking THANKS

I would try the least expensive maintenance first. New fuel filter maybe every year. Check alternator, diodes/regulator, and battery for free, and find out which trouble codes it has.

So far replaced both coils and crank sensor in which I had to remove the intake to get to them, after replacing test drove now it seems like it wants to stall when taking off and wont exceed over 2000 rpms, after some research found out chevrolet has a recall 99088a on replacing or repairing the pcm and installing a rubber boot over it, not sure if thats all of my problems are just part of it?

So you mean you replaced the PCM but kept your same computer chip?

The parts stores have no way of checking to see if there are any codes now?
