Does it backfire? Check timing. as well as Check that which controls the idle. Does it backfire when you try to start it after it dies? check the computer for coades and check all vavume lines and wire conections Control module and coil are the common ones.
This may be a problem with the immobilizer, the engine isn't disonnecting the immobilizer from the engine, i.e. stopping the engine from being started.
it's probably a rod knocking
Having the diagram of the engine to the car being driven can come in handy. A person can find the 1997 Chevy Lumina Engine diagram in the maintenance manual.
It is useful to know the firing order for the engine of the car being driven. The firing order for a 1997 Chevy Malibu is 5-2-3-6-4-1.
I am not certain, but I have seen this before, and it wound up being loose bolts on the valve cover. It seeps out, and runs down the engine, and leaves a large spot on ground where it is parked repeatedly.
The firing order for a 2002 Chevy Cavalier, which is equipped with a 2.2L inline-four engine, is 1-3-4-2. This means that the cylinders fire in that specific sequence to ensure smooth engine operation. The cylinder layout from the front of the engine to the back is 1-2-3-4, with cylinder 1 being on the passenger side.
The abs light being on for a 2000 Cavalier indicates a brake problem. The brakes could lock up when the pedal is pushes hard, or pulse.
WOW what is this site good for if u can't answer the questions being asked!!!
An 02 car is going to be electronically controlled so in order to defeat the speed limiter a performance chip will need to be installed in the engine control computer. Being that it is a Cavalier I doubt there is one available. Speed and rpm limiters are there to protect your drivetrain from damage. it is not wise to mess with it.
Not sure what engine you have but it is highly unlikely the timing would jump being that it is driven by a chain. If it was to jump it probably wouldn't start and possibly backfire in the attempt to start.
1-4-2-3. 1 being passenger side, 4 being driver's side.
