HI,
I HAVE IS A 1998 CHEVY CAVALIER. I HAD THE CAR FOR THE PAST 10 YEARS IN FLORIDA. THE CAR WORKED FINE. NOW I RELOCATED TO UPSTATE NY, BEFORE I LEFT FLORIDA THE CAR HAD THE TUNE-UP AND CHECKED HER BEFORE GOING ON THE ROAD. I GOT HERE IN NY ON SEPT. 08. THE WINTER COLD HITS' AND HERE IT GOES; STARTING THE CAR IS OK AT FIRST, MAYBE 10 MINS. STILL DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE ENGINE LITE GOES ON. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO SEARS. THE TECH RECOMMENDED A WINTER BATTERY. A DIAGNOSTIC WAS DONE BUT NO CODES CAME ON. I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, AS THE CAR STARTS AND ABOUT SEVERAL MINS. LATER GOES OFF. IS THERE SOMETHING I'M NOT DOING.

Have the charging system tested at most autoparts stores for free.
If OK, then find a good ASE shop (not a chain) and have fuel pressure tested and spark.

You may also want to put a gas line antifreeze in the tank.
