My Cavalier had the stalling issues at 70,000 miles and 110,000 miles and 140,000 miles. Every time it was the ignition module. The first time the distributor coil that plugs into the module located on the shaft of the distributor was also bad. This is an easy inexpensive fix. Make sure you coat the bottom of the module with the provided silicon to help protect it from heat.
