Bought this car from Joe's Cherry Autos. 2002 Chevy Malibu with 94,000 miles, recent tune up I believe. John R this car is similar to the one I bought off you that the wife drives.

Thing stalled out the other day and made a weird noise which I don't remember now. I was in the middle of running to the office and it quit. Then the gauges started lighting, telling me there were problems with the engine or emissions or something.

I pulled the computer chip out and took off the exhaust and it seems to have helped but what is now happening is that the car will stall out whenever I come to a stop, the neighbors look at me funny, and the local cop has pulled me over twice and given me warnings.

Engine? Wiper Blades?



Scott - much like mentioned above - sounds like the hard drive is failing or the OS is miconfigured / Virus / Malware. Turning off the page file is the equivalent of ripping out a cars computer chip, it might run but it will likely run like #@#^ and stall out all of the time.

You need to recreate the page file. And do a full scandisk on the computer ; My Computer, Right click on drive, properties, tools, scan disk. You can also google active disk monitor and have that do a scan disk - then tell us what you see.
