I would replace the thermostat. This sounds like the thermostat is stuck open.
Whatever the thermostat is preset to, probably 195 degrees F.
Where is radiator temperature sensor located on a 1997 2.4L Chevy cavalier
Chevy Cavalier should run about 195F or 91C
I would like to know this currently, but mine sets around 90 degrees Celsius on average (while driving for awhile) I'm not sure if that's high, but it's half way on the temperature gauge.
If the temperature is constantly above 0 degrees F then use 10W-30 (insert brand of choice).
Around 220 degrees.
Around 190 degrees
They were not use on that year. It don't have one.
around $90
The brand new cavalier cost around 29'000 if used maybe around 5 to 12,000
In my experience with my Chevy it was a ground wire
Around 2300-2500 lbs
