The first thing I would check on, would be the battery not holding charge(bad battery), The battery terminal should be tight and VERY clean, Alternator not putting out enough juice to keep the battery charged. Or the starter is weak and looking for a replacement..
look at other cavaliers the same year lol ?
Providing your cavalier has a 2.2l, this is what your looking at.
Look down as soon as you open the hood!

This diagram is under the hood. Look for it

Crawl under the rear of the car and look up. You will easily see it.
