Sign In Not much info to go off of here.... I would start off with guessing the oil level is way over full. As far as the starting and dying, it sounds like you may have an anti-theft issue going on. Is the security light flashing on the dash? Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Oct 16, 2010, 4:56 AM Post #5 of 5 (8621 views) Re: 2004 chevy cavalier starts then dies.. Sign In We need to resolve this oil issue before doing anything about any security problem. If this thing was filled to the top with oil, it's going to have to be towed somewhere to drain it before even trying to start the car again. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
