Engine stalls while driving?

I have a 1997 chevy Cavalier with a 2.2 My oil light has been coming on for a while after it warms up and only when it is idleing. It has enough oil in it the dip stick says it is full. But 2 days ago it has started dieing on me after it warms up. When it cools back down I can drive it agin till it gets warm again. Could this be the oil pressure switch? If not, what could this be?

I changed the oil pressure switch but did not solve the problem. What else could this be?

After the engine is warmed up and runs a couple of miles, it tends to stall and hesitate. After replacing the fuel filter, the problem still remains. However, some days the car runs fine.

Got new alternator, battery, cool packs; plugs, wires, checked battery;modlue. Runs terrific; never know when it going to act up again. I have two kids; and don't trust my car to drive it. It like it has a dead short somewhere.

I could be going down the road at 55 mph; then all the sudden; I can tell in the gas pedal; it's losing power; then the motor just stops. Then I can start it right back and go again.I can drive it for 2 or 3 weeks like a charm; then all the sudden it will do it again. Sounds like something simple;but can't find the problem or the short.

First of the year had sugar put in gas tank, cost me over 2k to take care of that problem at reputable car repair shop.

In the last 6-8 weeks, every other week and no joke always close to my payday. The car will just simply die. It has done it 2 blocks from my home during a rain storm, while exiting a fast food location, and just in the driveway. The car will die. And when you hit the key you get no sound at all plus no dash lights. Before asking there is no clicking sound either, there is simply nothing. But, I do have headlights, and 4 way flashers, I think turn signals, but the wipers dont work.
The first time this happend the alternator was bad and was replaced with a tested but good condition used alternator. Week or so later it died while driving in rain to work, this time. The next day, a connecting wire to the starter was a bit loose, so we tightened it, but still wouldnt start. Removed battery to have it load tested, when battery was replaced car started, but battery tested fine. One other time a wire to the battery terminal was loose and this fixed it and it started. But this time, today, it died while leaving fast food place and has the same issues as earlier, no sound no dash lights nothing when turning the key. Fuses have all been checked and are fine. Im at my wits end! Please help

Removed a fusible link and direct wired, still because of not much spark from the battery, when shorting across terminal, car was jumped still nothing from turning key in the ignition. But, after having key on jumper cables in place and shorting across the starter the car started, and has restarted several times since, but im not content the problem has been resolved. Still need help!
Update: there is power to the wire running from the battery to the under hood fuse/relay box but no power to fuses within the under hood fuse/relay box.

My cavalier runs great and it only has trouble when is wants to. It stalls going down the road now lights come on you coast to ou stop and put it in park hit the key and away you go might run for 500 miles or 50 it has a mind of its own. I put it on the scanner looking for codes but nothing. Is this electrical or machanical I don't know

This is a good one.A lot of the time when electronic componets heat up they fail. Which makes for hard diagnosos.I have found that the ECM is most often the gremlin. But hard to say without being there. Just a thought for you

1997 Chevy Cavalier mileage: 22,000 The engine races on its own. Also accelerates from about 45 up to 90 mph maximum throttle on its own; brakes don't stop it, have to shift to neutral and turn off ignition switch. Intermittent situation can't prove it to dealer. Sometimes engine will stall while driving 35 to 60 mph. Could this be the cruise control? Have you heard this before?

Yes. The cruise control could cause your problem †acceleration on its own. The cause of the engine stalling 35 to 60 mph could be many things. Your car is equipped with a computer controlled engine management system. The computer will store any fault or error codes. Having it scanned will retrieve these codes and pinpoint the malfunctioning component.

I have a 97 chev cavalier, it broke down mechanic put in a battery. Week later died again, jumped it brought it back he thought the radio even though it doesnt work was somehow hooked up so that it was sucking juice from battery. 2 days ago died again, started back up but dash was going crazy on way home and every time I touched the brake felt like it wanted to die. Died again when I got it home. Next day jumped it and it started but when I touched brake felt like it wanted to die and dash still going nuts. Then when went to put in reverse it just died again. What could it be
