Two of my friends have cavaliers with 2.2 engines and both crank excessively before starting my first thought was a fuel pump or regulator issue but one of the cars has had both replaced recently. My question is is this a common problem and what steps should I take to find out what the problem is without replacing a lot of needless parts.

If you press the gas pedal down a little, does it start right up? If so, sounds like the TPS. That fixed my Cavalier with that problem.

need to do some diagnoising i'd start with fuel pressure but you'll need a gauge for checking
