I have a 2000 cavalier and it stalls out when i'm slowing down and come to a stop. I had my catalytic converter replaced so that wasn't the problem. My dad drove my car today and said when he came to a stop he slid it into Neutral and it didn't stall out at all on the way to his workplace(2 hours!). Can anyone help?

You may have a bad IAC ( idle air control) but try cleaning the throttle body first. Remove the intake snorkel, have someone hold the throttle wide open for you and scrub the back side of the throttle plate and surrounding bore with an old tooth brush and some carb cleaner. Be sure to spray some into the small holes next to the throttle plate. That should help stabilize the idle. If it still has a problem, replace the IAC.
