Throttle Converter?
My first post!
Hey guys! I was wondering if anyone can help me out. I bought a Cavalier convertible a month ago and all of a sudden it makes a choking sound when I turn on the ignition. A slight shudder is felt when I cruise at 40mph. Also during stop and go traffic the car gets a little hot, but not severely. My guess is the throttle converter. The engine knocks every once in a while too....
Any idea what can be happening?

year, engine?
if you think the shudder is from the t/c engaging check for a relay for fuse that you could remove to keep it off; this would allow you to rule it out.
the running hot issue could be a number of things...fans, thermostat. the most common for the 2200 engine is restricted heater core.
diagnosing the noises without hearing them is pretty difficult.
