The day after I started driving it the car ran out of gas because the gas guage was broken and half a tank now means empty.
The car stalled often.
Shortly after that the starter died.
Shortly after getting a new starter the alternator died.
After the new starter and alternator the car has been running fairly.
Sometimes in the morning the car will stall, but I believe it is from starting the engine while it is cold because it doesn't stall at any other time then the morning.
I've only had the car for about 2 months and before I got it, it was just sitting somewhere so I can understand having to replace the alternator and starter. Other than that the car runs fine mostly. If the car had been properly taken care of I believe it would run better, but for a 15 year old car that is almost as old as me and hasn't been taken well care of I think it runs OK.
I had some of the exact same problems. It seemed like every time I would get one thing fixed, something else went wrong. It wasn't a horrible car, but it sure needed a lot of work and often. Almost made me lose faith in Chevrolet.
