Alero Start-up

[Midgear]

Finally caught the problem in the act, when i was originally gonna get a sound clip of my cold air intake!

The car starts, gets to about 1000 rpm, and craps out.. i -never- touch the gas pedal in this clip untill the very end of the clip, i'll get a sound clip of the cold air intake tomorrow or somethin. this only happens every 10 - 20 starts, any ideas what would cause it?

My odometer isnt going nuts, thats just how it was recorded on the camera, i assure you my odometer is fine.. I believe it could be the spark plugs..

I had this problem, it was a loose battery ground. Out of nowhere it would just need 3 tries to start.

Hmm, sounds to me a groud prob, had the same prob a very long time ago.
check the connection at the batt or check the connections of ground inbetween the engine and car body

[Midgear]

how would a ground cause it to stall out?

is your security light on? i cant tell from the video

My Cavalier did that during cold nights after sitting for a while. Vacuum lines were rotten behind the throttle body. Replaced those and it started starting. I had to hold the gas and make sure it doesn't stall until I drove it for 5 minutes and then it was fine. Could really be anything at this point though.
