I'm not a mechanic but the first things I would check are the wheel sensors. Make sure all 4 of them are properly attached and that the end of the sensor doesn't have a layer of brake dust or other dirt covering it. Maybe give them a good hosing with brake spray cleaner.

Check the wheel sensor ohm's, they will be close, you can then weed out the bad one.The wiring on the left front has been a problem, chaffing on suspension.

#2124 of 2171 96 sunfire 2.2L ohv starter issue by cutehumor

May 20, 2008 (3:51 pm)

I put in a rebuilt oreilly ultima starter for my 96 sunfire today. I had it tested before I left the store and it passed. Well when I put in the starter, the starter doesn't crank at all. I hear a buzzing sound. I think it has something to do with the starter wires connection. I have five wires to hook to the solenoid. Originally the car had three, but I had an ignition recall done and there is an additional two wires. They are all red and black. anyone have a diagram or photo I can look at?

I have a 2003 Cav and I have the same problem. The bulbs are good and so is the relay. Did you ever find out what the problem was? I would appreciate the help. Thanks

I have a 2003 Cav and just recently my headlights have not been turning on as well as the daytime running lights. I have checked both headlights and the relay-both are good.

I have yet to change plugs in my 2005 Cavalier, but sometime in the past I copied this information from somewhere (which is offered with no guarantee)
 
"1. Disconnect the battery for safety. Remove the six Allen bolts on the wire cover, then remove the wire cover; this will allow access to the coil packs.
 
2. Using a socket, remove the bolts that hold down the coil packs. There should be a total of four bolts, one on each coil pack.
 
3. Unplug the coil pack harness from each of the four coil packs. All the coil packs should come out with ease.
 
4. With a spark plug socket and an extension, remove the four spark plugs"

#2129 of 2171 overheat by nooklearwinter

Jul 17, 2008 (1:51 pm)

ive recently had my thermostat replaced and my radiator flushed, i have a 2001 cavalier, instead of dex cool they put in the green type of coolant after the flush, but instead of my tempurature staying at 195 (exactly half), it goes up to 3/4 about 230 degrees, is this because of the different coolant (doubtful), the aftermarket thermstat, or the summer heat, it never done this in all these years since ive had the car i am the only owner..a mechanic said it WAS NOT a head gasket problem, i just want it to run like it used to, please help
