:cry: I have a 2002 chevy cavalier purchased it about 6 months ago. It has about 96000 miles on it. If I get on the highway going 65 t0 70 mph after going about 100 miles the car just loses power and shuts off. It may crank after 3-5 minutes but I may only get 5 miles down the road and it die again. It took
me 13 hours to get 200 miles. I have had the fuel
pump checked, was told it was fine, had the gasoline
filter and transmission filter changed. I am told by different mechanic that every thing is fine. Could it be that maybe a module needs to be checked or
what could it be?

Does it lose complete power? Lights, dash panel, etc? Everything shuts off?

Check the battery connections for corrosion. Make sure they have good contact. Total system shutdown is usually the result of a lose or bad connection to the battery or alternator. Something in the circuit isn't making great contact.
