i have a 1990 chevy cavalier that when i go to start it it will turn on but wont fire the thing is it only does it when its cold outside. when i am driving it and it decides to act up it bucks before it shuts off. ive already replaced the fuel filter and the crank sensor and was wonder what it could be? could it be the fuel pump?? please help!:crying:

Check fuel pressure. See youtube 'fuel pressure test'.
Does it lope at idle when warm?
Bucks before shuts off? You mean like dieseling? Run-on???

Diesleing - keeps running for a minute or so after shutdown.
