1990 Chevy Cavalier Z24
I have several problems with this car : it stalls below 1000 rpm, dies while driving, starts but immediately dies again. After letting it sit for a few days it drove for about 4 miles then started to high rev. then down shift jolting forward in and out of gear, starting to smell like it was burning, then very hard to brake. Then I just had it towed to avoid causing any more problems.

Has this vehicle had all the regular maintenance... Oil changes, filter changes, spark plugs, etc. done on a regular basis?
And have factory recommended parts been used? Or have "super duper" spark plugs been installed?
Have there been any modifications to the engine or vehicle? Do it yourself wiring?
And was it running fine, then all of a sudden started doing this? Or had problems and getting worse and worse?
Check engine light on? Do you know the codes?

(Quote) starting to smell like it was burning.
That could be a sign of a failing "Catalytic Converter". Answer the following questions.
Has the “Check Engine Light” been on for a while and have you been ignoring it?
Have you ever seen the “Check Engine Light” flashing?
“Click” on or “Copy and Paste” the link below into your address box and then click “Go”. When the page opens follow the instructions for reading “Error Codes”. Post any codes that you find.
