I would love to know this myself because mine needs replacement and nobody online has any idea where this component is on a 2.2 engine. You would think it would be in or near the thermostat housing but it is not, and apparently not in any other visible location in the cooling system. I have traced out the entire system and no sign of it yet. Any help would be appreciated.
The temp. gauge is jumping from cold to warm to hot and bottoming out to cold again on a 1999 Cavalier. Everybody says it's the temp. sending unit (NOT to be confused with the temp. sensor (which is on the coolant bypass line on the right front of the engine near the alternator, if anyone is looking for that one) but nobody can tell me where to find this component to be able to replace it. It is very frustrating to try to replace a part that does not seem to exist.
The temperature sending unit on a 96 cavalier is on the front of the engine. It is just to the left of the alternator.
The 1994 Chevrolet Astro V-6 engine temperature sending unit can be located on the front of the engine. The temperature sending unit will be next to the thermostat housing.
The 1997 Chevrolet Cavalier 2.2 liter engine operating temperature is 180 degrees. Aftermarket thermostats can allow the operating temperature to rise to 195 degrees.
The 1986 Chevrolet Cavalier oil pressure sending unit can be found on the left-hand side of the engine. The oil pressure sending unit will be above the oil pan.
Didn't mention the year or engine size but temp sending units are generally found close to the thermostat.
The 1997 Chevrolet Camaro 3.8 liter engine coolant temperature sending unit can be found on the front of the engine. The coolant temperature sending unit will be approximately 3 inches above the thermostat housing.
The Chevrolet Cavalier 2.2 liter engine will fit into a Chevrolet S 10 pickup. You will need to change the motor mounts on the Cavalier engine in order for the engine to bolt in properly.
In a 2004 Chevrolet Cavalier, the temperature sending unit is typically located near the thermostat housing or on the engine block, usually on the cylinder head. It is often a small cylindrical component with an electrical connector attached. To access it, you may need to remove any obstructions, such as air intake components or wiring harnesses. Always consult a repair manual for specific details and diagrams related to your vehicle.
