Engine Mechanical problem
1992 Chevy Cavalier 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

my daughters 92 cavalier is making us nuts! it runs good until it gets to warm and then it will start to shake and try to die and other times it will get warm shake and when you apply brakes it will stall out. it takes time for it to cool down and then it will start again and then go through the process again. also , after driving for about 5 mins she heard a "drop" and then white smoke and it would not go out of park and i had to have it towed home. and now today after 2 weeks of setting low and behold it starts and goes in gear. what is the deal on this car?

Perform a compression test on all cylinders, could be a headgasket or clogged convertor.
