A car's engine will turn higher RPM (rotations per minute) on the highway due to the increased speed needed to travel at highway speeds. A car does not need to have it's engine spin at the same RPM level on the city street as it does on the highway.

Where is the flasher on a 92 Chevy Cavalier?

If your talking about you indicator flasher relay I've got a suggestion. I just changed one on a 1999 Cavalier. It was located underneith the drivers side of the dash. It is a little square black relay that might be clipped on up underneith or it my not. It is right out in the open, but you might need a flashlight to get a good look at it. Like I said, this was on a 1999 Cavalier not a 1992 Cavalier. But if there anything alike........... So hopefully this works out for you. If not...... well....... I tried.

Does the 2000 Chevy Cavalier have an interference or non-interference engine?

I read that the 96 cavalier is a non interference engine. Best bet is to call a Chevy dealer or autozone might know. Toyota corollas are non interferance engines. Fords with a sohc 2.0 engine are non interferance. Hondas are interference so are Mitsubishi engines, I learned this the hard way.
