    97 chevy cavalier
    Hello I have a 97 chevy cavalier. My ets off and abs lights have been on for a mnth now. My check engine light was on after I changed the spark plugs and filters it went off. Also for a while now when I slow down or stop my car dies. It starts back up but is unexpected. I had my alternator replaced still no luck. Can you help me please?:p

    . Check for codes.

    . Check the Ignition Control Module:

    While we find your parts, please enter your ZIP Code at PartsAmerica.com

    . Check the coil.

    AutoZone should be able to check for codes and test these components for free. Did you use the exact ACDelco plugs that came in your car?

    Yes we did. So how do I check the coils?

    You need to remove the coils and Ignition Control Module from your car and take them to AutoZone. They will test each component on their Well's Machine, which simulates the heat buildup in real life. Also, ensure the spark plug wires are in good shape.
