Had the same thing happen to me. I have a 96 cavalier. I let it go and didnt get it checked right away and a few weeks later I ended up having to get the head gasket replaced. Keep your eye on the coolant level. Definitly get it checked out to avoid a costly repair

Same stuff happened to me when i was messing with my air intake and forgot to hook the air sensor back up.

I had the same symptoms on my 97 Cav (2.4L, 117K miles) - the oxygen sensor had to be replaced ($190 + labor at the Chevy dealer).

Auto zone will check your codes for free to let you know what sensor caused your check engine light to come on. replace the faulty component and then have them clear the code for you
