Hi,
I have 1993 model Chevrolet Cavalier RS 2.2Lt Auto trans.
My problem is when I start the car I've noticed annoying vibration which I can feel through the gas pedal and steering wheel as well. Vibration goes when I gain speed but I can stiil feel it on accelerator pedal. Could it be engine mounts collapsing?
My second problem is about stalling. When the engine is hot it doesn't downshift when coming to a quick stop. And then it shakes back and forth eventually stalls. After waiting for a while I start it again but when I put the gear into driving mode it stalls again.I can't move it unless I accelerate right away after put the gear into drive mode.I was told it might be TCC solenoid or Torque Convertor problem?
Please help me.
Thanks

I think you answered your own question :).

The mounts would be my first suspect in the shaking and the TCC solenoid for the stalling.

Hi,
Thanks for your answer. I went to mechanic and he plugged out the solenoid connector. And then I drove it aprox. 20mins but unfortunately it stalled again. He said that it's not TCC Solenoid failure. Torque convertor could be causes the problem or transmission body valve. First body valve must be cleaned. But he said that it will cost too much money to get it cleaned. About 500$.
Well, I want to ask that to dear mechanics of this web-site; Is it highly possible that these parts lead to stalling of my car?

The TCC will cause it to stall if it fails to unlock. This is controlled by speed and the brake switch, if you step on brake, it will unlock TCC switch.
