1999 Chevrolet Cavalier, surging, stalling

1999 Chevy caviler, lets start with what i have replaced. plugs, wires, O2 sensor, map and throttle body sensors. there's more.... fuel pump and filter. had the injectors cleaned. put in new brain. lets see what else oh yeah tested the fuel pressure replaced the crank sensor. car is stalling at a stop, surging, bucking up a hill (unless your foots in it) it seems to get worse as it warms up. idles fine in drive, neutral and if i could dive backwards to where i needed to go i would be just great.

Check the Alternator, Mine was doing something similar to it, was almost dieing constantly, at stops in drive, lights would flicker alot on bumps and up hills when rpm's would increase. Also yea mine also got worse after it warmed up, I replaced the alt. with a reman. but unless it was professionally rebuilt by a local electrical shop (which are kind of rare now a days) I would just get a new one from a local parts house, Also you pay for what you get. Do not have the shop get the part for you because they have anywhere from a 10%-25% mark up on local parts houses which is close or above what you would pay
