Chevrolet Cavalier - Answered Questions & Fixed Issues
How do you remove the
Push throttle body lever toward the back of the engine. Block it from moving forward. The cable should be loose enough to remove from the pedal. There is a white plastic grommet that needs to pop out of the pedal, this can be done by applying upward pressure on the white grommet with your thumbs and the white grommet will pop out. Slide the cable through the slit at the top of the pedal and it is disconnected.

What would make a 2002 2.2l cavalier turn over but wont start
If there is was no check engine light prior to the problem (which would normally indicate sensor problems), then I would suspect that the engine has jumped time. The 2.2L engines, although they have a timing chain and not a belt, had issues with the timing chain tensioner. This wars out, breaks, and allows the timing chain to jump across the gear teeth, putting the engine out of time. This will cause a no-start condition, and if bad enough, cause valve damage that will require the heads to be repaired. The easiest way to check for this problem is to perform a compression check of the cylinders. If the engine has jumped time, the compression in the cylinders will vary greatly from one cylinder to the next and will most likely be lower than normal.
2004 chevy cavalier it is idling real high
Check your map sensor. Your iac sensor and your throttle body position sensor. Then check vacuum. I'm having a similar problem and I've checked those. Unfortunately I might have a timing issue. Hopefully your problem isn't as big as mine lol

Can 134a refrigerant be put into a R12 a/c system?
no --it cannot. R12 gas operates at a far lower pressure that r134a so if you want to use r134a gas you will have to replace compressor ,evaporator and condenser and have a cooling fan for the condenser fitted
2003 Cavalier, fuel problem after accident
there is no fuel pump cut off switch on this car, it is possible the fuel pump module was damaged from this accident, u will have to have the fuel pump circuit tested for faults before replacing the pump, don't guess, this is an expensive repair
