The sticker on the top right of the underside of the hood should have a picture of factory spec timing mark.
Check the engine thermostat.
The timing will be off and the engine will have no power and get poor mileage. In some cases if the engine is an interference engine you could have serious internal engine damage if the belt is installed incorrectly.
This engine does not use a timing belt, it does use a timing chain instead which is inside of the engine behind the front cover
It will eventually break causing your engine to "jump time" and could cause more problems that are more costly to repair, it is much easier and less expensive to change a belt than it is to replace one.
It could if the valves made contact with the pistons in an interference engine.
This engine (3.0L) is an interference engine so yes, the engine could lock up if the timing belt jumped.
yes
It could.
No. This car does not have a timing belt.
When the timing chain is bad on a 2002 Cavalier, the engine could have several symptoms. The engine could run rough, be hard to start, or not run at all.
