I just bought a 1994 Cavalier which belonged to someone that died, so it's been sitting for awhile (not sure how long), but when it was used, he only went to the store and back. I drove it around town and it ran fine. So I bought it, then I took it on the freeway a few miles at 70. when I got off the freeway and I was coming to a stop it shook bad and died. I could restart it, no problem, but as soon as I put it in gear, it would die. I had to rev it up in neutral, then slide it into drive and peel out. As long as I could keep the car going a certain speed it was OK. The electric fan wasn't coming on, I stopped at my friends and let it cool down for awhile, then left and it was OK, until I almost got back home (taking the back roads-no freeway) then it died again. Could it just have gotten warm and have some kind of shut off? Will it not do that if I toggle up the fan so it doesn't get hot? or is it a 'MAP sensor'? i don't even know where to find that! Please help!

I have a 96' Cavalier. I just bought it from a friend, and so far it has an ignition problem; it just won't start. I replaced the starter and still nothing. I have no clue what it could be.
Please help...
