1995-2004 2.4 engines (Z24s & Sunfire GTs) have a metal coolant outlet line on the firewall side of the engine block. The thermostat housing is an intergal part of this outlet line as well. This would be the first place I'd check for a coolant leak between the firewall and engine. Good luck.

Check the fan relay for the 1996 Cavalier. Also, check the coolant sensor, one of these is most likely bad.
Connected to the upper radiator hose. Coolant flows from the engine to the radiator to be cooled. The coolant temp. sensor should be screwed into it.

No...No....No... The 2.2L OHV engine and the 2.4L DOHC (Quad-4) engine are two different animals.
It should fit if both cars had that engine from the factory. If the 1996 was a Z24 (2.4L), then there will be differences - most likely with engine electronics. Hope this helps!
GM recommends Dex-cool, the orange stuff.
