It sound like a vacuum leak. All hoses connected to the intake must seal. Otherwise the engine computer gets the air/fuel mixture for starting wrong.
Agree with Barneyb…Also, to add…the intake is plastic on the Cavalier, so the intake gasket(s) are notorious about developing vacuum leaks…
Checking for vacuum leaks as suggested is probably a good idea. Also, if you have any check engine light codes that would also be useful in helping to figure out the problem. More info here.
