You must make sure that the metal part of the end of the wire is grabbing onto the spark plug. Sometimes you may need to bend the metal part on the inside of the end of the wire so that it grabs on to the tip of the plug. I've replace a couple wires and plugs and you have to make sure there is metal to metal contact
It could be bad spark plugs. try changing your plugs.
there are four spark plugs.
when your car miss fires is when i replace my spark plug, look at the rpm -and if it is not consistent then it probably needs to be replaced.
could be distributor cap or rotor
Been there before. The problem will be in one of the fuel injectors.
Your Chevrolet Cavalier 97 might stall when going downhill because it has a bad fuel filter. It could also be the spark plugs misfiring.
on the motor
could be a # of things bad plugs, blown fuse, bad coil pack, or even a bad sensor.
You don't. It has a D.I.S. ignition system and has no distributor or rotor. There are three coils mounted over spark plugs under coil pack cover (center top of motor) Each coil fires 2 pistons. They are not replaced as a tune up item. They are only replaced if faulty. Spark plugs should be replaced every 15,000 miles.
If you have already replaced the plugs and wires, your best bet would be to replace the coil pack housing(big white housing under cover). Those are notorious for failing in the late model z24s. I had the same problem with my 97 and afterwards it ran fine.
Could be lots of things; try checking the spark plugs and plug wires or try checking the air filter(there could be a blockage of the air ventelation system ) or could be the fuel pump, fuel injector, or relay fuse could be burnt or the fuel lines could be clogged. Motor T Mechanic- USMC
A 2000 Chevy Cavalier typically has two freeze plugs, also known as core plugs, located on the engine block. These plugs help prevent damage from freezing coolant. It's important to check them regularly for leaks or corrosion to ensure the engine remains protected.
