(4x4, 5.3, 4L60E trans.) Was driving down the road at 55 mph and lost all transmission function. checking all solenoids found the 1-2 ss valve to be damaged. would this cause reverse to stop working?(4x4, 5.3, 4L60E trans.)

You need to find the fuel pressure release around the fuel rail press the little tab when the car dies. If there is no fuel coming out from that point, your fuel pump is going.

You have to find out what stopped working , ignition system , fuel pump , engine malfunction etc.... Videos on youtube showing how to test these thing's . No Start Diagnostic Basics EricTheCarGuy
Crankshaft position sensor or the ignition module is bad . What engine an year cavalier do you have ? Can you see spark plug wires in engine compartment ?
didnt specify the year but some of the older 90s the torque converter clutch solenoid [ tcc ] failing or connector problem you can disconnect it and drive i believe the 95 and down can be replaced by unscrewing it from case --others are inside unit
If it dies when you are coming to a stop after being on the freeway, chances are the torque converter solenoid is sticking in the transmission. If it is doing it around town, I would look at the throttle body and idle air control valve. The computer controls idle speed by regulating air flow into the throttle body.
I would say fuel pump but u should try cleaning throttle body 1st its easy takd ya 30min and only like 8$ for cleaner u can watch how to videos on you tube
you need to take the car to a muffler shop and have the catylitic converter changed... the converter is stopped up not letting the exaust leave the engine thus stopping it.
it sounds like a dirty throttle body. Just spray clean with throttle body cleaner. Or it could be a plugged air filter...not getting enough air. Or possible fuel filter needs to be changed.

when you restart it and start driving does it make a bad banging noise
