My 97 cavalier is having quite a few problems. The most important thing is that at a complete stop the car shakes and sounds as if it is misfiring. I am not sure as to what may be causing this. Also when put on a diagnostic computer it didnt read anything. The MAF and O2 sensors are brand new. Have tried pelacing plugs and wires. PLEASE HELP. This is as close as I could get to describing the problem, wiothout you being here personally. THANKS

Check and clean the throttle body and IAC. Also try some fuel additives to clean the injectors.

IAC is the Idle Air controll sensor. It sets the idle for the car by controlling the amount of air entering the engine, settign the idle. It is located on the side of the Throttle body.
