This engine uses a cam chain and no maintenance is required.
THIS ANSWER IS TOTALLY INCORRECT OK FIRST OFF IT DOES HAVE A CHAIN THAT WILL BREAK AND YES IT IS A INTERFERENCE THE GM MANUAL SAYS IF THE CHAIN BREAKS TO CHECK FOR BENT VALVES.
what is the firing order for a 97 Pontiac Sunfire 2.2
1-3-4-2
Drums and shoes.
NoNo
That filter is hard to get at. Look between the rear of the engine block and the fire wall, near the bottom of the engine on the passenger side.
At or around 1,000 RPM.
I THINK it is 1-3-4-2?
No , it's an interference engine ( according to the Gates website )
on the 2.4 its to the left of the starter above the oil filter
No, the 3.0 L is not interference.
3.8 litres from a 4.4 litre jug of 5w30.. that is for a 2.2 litre 97 Pontiac Sunfire. My boyfriend just changed the oil on my car... and this is what he figured out.
Yes ( according to the Gates website , they make timing belts etc. , it is an interference engine )
