Looking for an 80s(I believe) Movie about a guy who dies playing chicken in the 1950s and is kept in limbo until asked to help a boy in his similar shape only to find out in the end it was his son

I know the movie but can't remember name. Remember the son actor but not name right now. I will check. Oh actor last name Sedrick (the son of the ghost)

In the movie I was talking about, the teenage ghost went over a high cliff in his car and died. In the movie he takes the boy there towards the end of the movie.
