The Cavalier's brakes are quite simple compaired to some I've seen. I hope you used premium quality brake pads like the cermamic ones made by Raybestos they're much quieter and cleaner too.

The more I read about the Idle Speed Control Actuator the more I think it is my problem. Anybody else had this issue? I am going to try and take it apart this weekend and test it. The bad thing is nobody seems to have the part in stock so if I have to replace it I will have to get it ordered.

I have finally figured out the problem on my car. I had to change out my spark plugs and I had to change out my coil pack. After changing out everything under the moon. lol. I still think the idle is making it run a little rough so if I was you I would try and adjust it for now and see if that works and then order the part if it dosen't work. I am like you I keep trying this and that and finally after paying out 700 dollars I can say my car does not die at stop signs. Good luck and hopefully you won't spend as much as I have just trying to figure out one little problem. Good Luck !!!!

Can't unlock driver side lock by rorytate

Hi,
I have a 1998 Chev Cavalier which doesn't have power locks.
My drivers door is stuck on lock, the only way I can get the door open is if i put my key in, turn as if I was unlocking the door then pull the handle. I MUST hold the key in the unlocked position until I pull the handle up. It won't unlock. When I get out of the car I need to pull open the lock and hold it while pulling the handle to get out.
 
How hard/easy would it be to fix that myself, and what am I going to be looking for when I open it up?
 
Thanks!

I would definetly have the radiator dealer tested and you may want to take a closer look at the water pump; sometimes despite the fact that the pump spins nicely, a problem may exist. Try taking off the drive belt; you'll need a drive belt removal tool (approx. 30$-60$). With the drive belt off try moving the pump pulley side to side in a horizontal fashion; if you notice any exisive movement, a pump bearing has gone bad and needs to be replaced. Also check to see if any coolant is seeping from the pump's weep hole.
 
If you find you have to add coolant frequently, I would also inspect all hoses and the tank itself for leaks. Hope all goes well

You will have to get the ECU flashed by a GM dealership. I would also get the iginition modual and fuel pump tested before purchasing a new ECU as it is an expensive purchase and has to be programmed by General Motors.

Power Steering Leak by k_erin
Aug 23, 2007 (9:45 am)

I have a 1991 Chevy Cavalier RS (2.2L 4 Cylinder). Last month we noticed a slow power steering leak and I am wanting to know if this model of cavalier has just one hose leading from the pump or if there are 2 hoses, and whether the hose(s) are low pressure or high pressure?
 
The power steering pump was replaced 2 years ago.

Reinstalling factory radio into 1996 cavalier by whoohi

Hi everyone,
 
I have a really simple question to ask that I need help on because I know nothing about cars. Anyways, my '96 chevy cavalier was broken into and somebody stole the really car radio that the previous owner had installed. I still have the original factory radio to replace it but I am having some difficulty.
 
Well my problem is that there are two wires in the dashboard thing to plug into the radio. I have plugged in the one thats for the power but there is the other plug that I am sure is for the radio antenna because the radio works but does not pick up any stations.
 
I'm not sure how to plug radio wire in because I dont think there is a place on the factory radio for it. It has a plug that looks like a big ear phone plug, unlike the power plug that looks like a hard drive plug. Let me know what to do or if I need to describe the situation better. Thanks a lot to anyone that can help.

Surely your factory antenna cable terminates in a plug like the lower item in this picture

and the factory radio must have an input like the end of the upper item in the same picture (sometimes on the side and not the back of the radio)
 
Let me know if I have misunderstood your info or question.
