SOURCE: my chevy cavalier 2000 has a theft system light on

Put key in ignition, turn to on (do not start) position for exactly 10 minutes. As SOON as the light turns off, start car.

This is a problem with most gm vehicles. The vault is the computer.

SOURCE: 98 chevy cavalier cranks but wont start changed

try to start the car, than the anti theift would shut the car off. you wait ten min with the key on, until you see the anti theift flash or disapear. than turn key to off position and try to start it. this will reprogram the computer.. Good luck.

you can also try disconnecting the battery for 30 minutes

Where is the gas shitvoff switch on a 2005 chevy cavalier, I need to reset it as I have new fuel pump and new relay after having it brought home on a flatbed

There is fuel when I push the bleeder valve but the car will not start ???? If you have fuel there is not a fuel system problem . Besides your vehicle does not have a shitvoff switch . You need to check for spark .

Tyhe first thing you shd always do on any car with starting problems is to check the spark on the plugs to localize the problem to either fuel or ignition problem. If u have an old spark plug lying around, remove one spark plug wire and attach it to the plug and lay it against the block. If it fires, when the engine turns, then it will most likely be fuel problem.
If it turns out to be fuel problem, you can prove it by using starting fluid carefully into the breather area.

I changed engines from a 1996 chevy cavalier to a 1997 cavalier,i don't get any gas or fire won't start

These cars were made with an anti theft security system. If you swapped motors, you may have interupted that system causing the the security to turn off the ijector fuel. Just a thought.

I have a 94 chevy cavalier. and it wont start. the coil is fine and so is the spark plugs. and it does turn over when i crank it... i would pump the gas a couple of times and it would seem to try and start...

you need to check see if it is getting fuel sounds like a clogged fuel filter and when you pump the fuel peddle you are puttting it clear flood mood which may also be leaking fuel injectors and flooding the cylinders with fuel but most likely is a clogged fuel filter try spraying starter fluid in throttle body and if starts its clogged fuel filter

Tuned up a 1993 chevy cavalier has spark won't start

Spray aerosol carb cleaner into the throttle body while an assistant tries to start the engine. If it runs for a few seconds then quits, you are not getting fuel into the engine. Check the fuses. You might have blown the fuse for the fuel injectors (possible if you removed any of the injector harnesses) or the fuel pump relay.

It sounds like you have a major misfire going on, here are the possible causes:

Base engine mechanical fault that affects one or more cylinders
Fuel metering fault that affects more than one cylinder
Fuel pressure too low or too high, fuel supply contaminated
EVAP system problem or the EVAP canister is fuel saturated
EGR valve is stuck open or PCV system has a vacuum leak
IC control circuit is shorted to ground (an intermittent fault)
Ignition system fault (a coil) that affects more than one cylinder


If the engine misfire is severe, the "Check Engine Light" will flash on/off and needs to be fixed right away or more damage will occur.

Please let me know if this information is helpful. Positive feedback is appreciated. Thank You!
