    Car problem anybody got any suggestions?

    Anybody have any suggestions on what it might be that would be great help.

    I drove my car to work today and it was fine. Later after it got a little colder I went out to my car for break and started it up. It would not stay started unless I feathered the pedal. It would bog down and die. After feathering the pedal for a few minutes the car started to heat up. It got to about the middle of the temp guage then it dropped to 1/4 mark.(I figure the thermostat opened) I let off the gas and the car stayed running and ran fine while I drove to get my dinner. After I got back I went back out to the car about a hour later to see if it would do the same thing again. It did and I had to do the same thing. I left from work and drove the car home and it was fine.(still warm from before)

    So what do you think this could be? The car is a 1994 chevrolet cavalier.

                      my first thought was choke related.

                          heating up fast might be a water pump issue

                                  That could be a million things man. Chevy's are well known for having electrical problems, so don't always trust your gauges.

                                  If you take it to a shop 1st thing they will do is check your fuel system, ie filter, pump, etc. That's what I would look at. Could be an injector or two are mis-firing.

                                  If you havent changed your fuel filter, I would do that, get a tune up also and make sure its not running rich. All that you can get done for less than 100 bucks.

                                                  Sorry but FI vehicles no longer have chokes.
                                                  They have been replaced by IAC's, this could be the problem and/or some carbon stuck in the egr valve.

                                                          Check your fuel filter and/or PCV valve, too. My friend had a problem on a 95 cavalier that sounds similar to yours, and it ended up being the PCV.
