trouble starting 96
Having trouble starting my 96 Cavalier. When you turn the key the car will go rrrrrrrrrrrr-rrrrr and may or may not finally catch. When it does catch, it sometimes coughs and sputters a bit before finally settling into an idle. I do notice that if you flash it and turn the key and release it a split second later you have a better probablity of the thing starting up.
Basically I have a rough time getting the thing started. I always pull it off, but it feels like one of these times the thing just isn't going to work.
I have had the following done: new spark plugs, new fuel filter, fairly new fuel pump (third one!!!!!). The mechanic threw it on a diagnostic machine and everything came back ship shape. He also cleaned an electronic module that was supposedly giving some Cavalier owners troubles -- then charged me two hundred bucks for what I still don't know.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? This is getting extremely frustrating.
