About one week ago it was raining and I went to apply for a job. I parked and was inside the building for about a half hour. When I got back out my car wouldn't start. Normally I can hear my fuel pump turn on, it couldn't hear it come on at that point in time. After sitting for about 2 hours, I went back to tow it, it started right up and drove half way home. Then it stalled, once again, I couldn't hear the fuel pump. I waited 10 minutes and it started up again. It drove to the shop, nevery failed once, then drove home. I haven't had that problem since. However, now whenever I am drivng the seatbelt light will flash at me, keep in mind, I am buckled up all the time. For a test, I buckled up and moved around, nothing happened. But as soon as I start moving the vehicle it starts flashing. This is a 1996 2.2 L4 2 door chevy cavalier with a manual transmission. Any Ideas, I need some help getting this fixed.

If its a sensor, which one, and what is it called?

Raining is the key, check your fuse box, is it wet? Does it have some green corrosion? If so, you have a water leak. Probably above the door at the roof seam. Replace the bad fuses and micro-relays, see if it repairs the problem. A good national glass company can repair the water leak.

The starting problem
when was the last time you replace the fuel filter.This keeps the fuel pump sock from filling up with stuff in the gas tank.To repair the problem you have to remove the fuel pump(in the gas tank) take the sock off the pump clean it and reinstall them both.
2nd problem.It can be as simple as a loose connection at the seat belt connection.The wires could also be loose and need to be pushed by together.

About the seat belt light I'll say could be the switch or sensor or whatever it's called.But about engine dying, I'll say to go see a mechanic.It's a 96 not a '06 just to avoid all problem

Sounds like it might be a sensor problem.
