Idle air control valve?
Get it to a mechanic with a code reader, a real one, not the universal kind you see at your local AutoZone. |

Whatever it is, sell it and buy a Toyota corolla or camry.

When you say that it acts like it runs out of gas, does it chug and die or flat shut off?

It chugs then dies.

This car is also one of the rare manual transmission models. Wanted manual and didn't have much choice.

I had a 2013 Chevy Cruze and bucked like crazy when stopped at a light while in drive.
When I placed it in manual mode, it would stop bucking. Took it to multiple dealerships but they all told me that it's a feature, not a bug. It turns out that the transmission had a weird feature where there was some type of clutch that would get disengaged when stopped. It would engage\disengage repeatedly and the car would buck like a rabbit. So annoying. I was about to sell it when I was t-boned by a brodozer. None of my 10 airbags went off and I was in PT for 3 months to gain function back in my left arm. I should have sued Chevy, but was too busy and stupid to do so. I hated that car. |

Think those have issues with the PCV valve. It is part of the valve cover. Creates a vacuum leak.

Actual manual with 3 pedals. Also already had the PCV valve replaced.

I hadn't seen this issue on the Cruze, but I had a car that had the ground for the fuel pump and brake lights connected at the same spot. When the brake lights came on, it screwed up the ground for the fuel pump and the car would die. Cleaning up the ground fixed that issue. Pretty sure it was a Saturn....another crappy GM product.
I've also see broken fuel pump modules allowing the pump to move around in the tank under turning/braking. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Idle air control valve? Get it to a mechanic with a code reader, a real one, not the universal kind you see at your local AutoZone. Doesn't have an IAC. Modern cars use the electronic throttle body to control idle/cold starts. It could be a throttle body but needs to be diagnosed. OP needs to take it to a mechanic unless there's some kind of pattern issue with Cruzes. I'm not sure. I haven't worked on in 8 years or so. I do recall working on one that had idle issues due to a bad throttle body. |

Throttle Body/Throttle Position Sensor would be my guess.

Does it have a distributor or is it all coil packs?
I had a Sentra with a distributor that did things like that do me a couple times. Turned out the rotor in the distributor was loose and eventually came free stranding me. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Actual manual with 3 pedals. Also already had the PCV valve replaced. Just the PCV ie: the camshaft cover aka valve cover? Or was the intake also replaced? To check the intake, you remove the pcv tube in the middle center and look for the red/orange nipple in the bottom of the pipe. Might be carbon covered also. If not present, replace the intake. The turbos also like to freeze up at the waste gate. check yours. |

Coil pack/packs are bad. Replace all of them.
Same thing happened to my son's 2014 Cruze. |

I believe those engines like to warp heads if I recall.
