1995-2005 Chevy Cavaliers

Low Compression usually means that the cylinder rings are worn. You should also do a leak down of each cylinder. That will pinpoint which cylinder/s are bad.

Also,possible poor seating of valves or improper valve seat contact.

If it is like the '97 SC2, which it likely is:

Remove the plastic cover from around the steering column.

Turn the old ignition cylinder to ACC (I know what you are about to say... If you can turn the cylinder, why replace it. Unfortunately I can't answer that. I had to drill out the old lock to replace the one on my saturn. Please consult a locksmith before doing so. You don't want to drill into the wrong parts.)

With the old cylinder turned to ACC, there is a small button on the side (probably upper right towards the air vents) Push this button in and the old cylinder should pull out. Installation is reverse of removal (without the drilling...)

If your fuel pump is not receiving power it could be because a fusible link or fuse has blown, the fuel pump relay is not switching or the brain (ecu) is not triggering the fuel pump relay. To test it, pull the fuel pump relay and locate the coil prong and switch prongs on the relay. There is usually a diagram on the relay or the prongs are numbered. Prongs 85 and 86 are for the coil and prongs 30 and 87 are for the switch. Figure out ( carefully ) wich leads on the relay mount correspond with the prongs on the relay. Use a jumper between the switch leads ( 30 and 87 ) and have a friend stand by the fuel tank. Turn the ignition key to the on position and your friend should hear the fuel pump start to run. Don't run the pump for more than a few seconds. If it does not come on you have probably blown a fusible link or fuse. Remember to remove the jumper. If it does come on test the signal from your brain by using a volt meter or test light between the coil leads ( 85 and 86 ) on the relay mount. Have your friend turn the ignition key to the on position and the light should light up ( or the volt meter should show voltage ) for a few seconds then shut off. If this does not happen there is no signal from your ecu. If it does happen replace the relay.

There could be various reasons. The starter could be going out. The Alternator, the fuel pump. If it is a manuel car it could also be fuses behind the clutch

Look in the owner's manual.

You will be relieved to know it is very easy. Locate the Tune button and at the bottome of it there are 2 small buttons, one to the left and the right. When you depress them it will cahne the hour(left) and the right will change the minute. Cathleen

one possible reason is that your ball joint is bad, another could be that you have rack and pinion problems, you need to get it looked at, your wheel won't fall off but the problem won't get better. My husband is a mechanic.

Go to Maxima.org and ask the question there.

The underhood label on mine says 0 degrees for both manual and auto trans. I just set mine to 0, but it doesn't seem to be running right. I've heard there's a timing wire that needs to be unplugged before checking the timing. If anyone knows what that is, it would help us both out.

If your motor has the hei with the external coil, you remove the four pin connector on the dist. leave the other one connected. This shuts off the est and you should be able to time the motor.

Valve lash is the gap between the rocker arm and valve stem on cylinder heads. Proper adjustment ensures that a vehicle operates at peak performance.

The factory shop and repair manual if they will sell you one.

Then I prefer the Chilton brand

Then Haynes

All will do for basic things like torque specs and spark plug gaps.

== == Place SAAB in reverse gear to remove the key easily. The SAAB must be in reverse before you can remove the key, otherwise the battery will drain. It's a manufacture design.

REPAIRS BELOW, IF NEEDED:

Though you don't specify, it will be presumed that the key was inserted into the ignition switch and now will not withdraw. There were probably plenty of signs that this was imminent, such as difficulty inserting the key or the switch sticking in the START position. This is because dirt or sticky liquids often fall into the switch due to its location between the seats. (A safety feature, as the key will not jam into the driver's knee in a severe accident.) OTOH, the switch may have just worn out, as a 19 year old car is considered ancient by most terms. (I drive a 1987 Saab 900 with only 196K mi, and it runs better than most cars half its age.) First try squirting a penetrating oil such as Liquid Wrench or WD-40 into the key slot. This may free up the mechanism enough to withdraw the key. If that doesn't work, you will need to remove the center console. Details may be found in any good Saab 900 manual, but in brief: 1) Remove the driver's seat (may need an Allen-head wrench).

2) Remove any screws/bolts holding the shifting machanism into place.

3) Using the special 3-lobed socket, remove the 3-sided nuts that hold the metal box that contains the ignition switch.

4) Clean or replace the old switch.

5) Reassemble.

I JUST wrote in here 15 minutes ago pleading for someone to answer this because I had the EXACT same problem-just replaced the cluster, tried ressetting the codes by pulling off the positive cable, and my car would not run...After reading and searching for clues and answers on this website, I found that someones answer-try to lock the car and unlock the drivers side door WITH the key- the anti theft ligh stopped flashing and the car started right up and ran fine! I hope ur as fortuante as I was cuz, man that was frustrating... Thanks a million WikiAnswers (and those who helped answer)!

It's behind the panel to the left of the cigarrette lighter. You need a Torx 25 screwdriver and another screwdriver for those hex shaped screws, forgot the size. First unscrew the 2 Torx 25 screws beneath the steering wheel. Then unscrew the rest of those Hex screws on the bottom. The panels overlap, so be prepared for a lot of unscrewing. You do need to unscrew the middle black panel on the bottom, right beneath the cig lighter. It's held by two Hex shaped screws, one on each side and are hard to unscrew. Also you need to remove your spare change sliding tray to unscrew the last hex looking screw. Once you pop your panel off, the turn signal flasher is the right one. The Hazard flasher is the left one. You can find a replacement part at Autozone, and DON'T get the $184 Flasher switch, all you need is the signal flasher. It's shaped like a cylinder with TWO prongs on it.

You will need a one inch socket and ratchet. You also might need a mallet. The socket and ratchet will be needed to remove the lower control arm nuts. The mallet might be needed to loosen the control arm.

This happened to mine, and it turns out that theres alot of debris on the bottom of the tank that got sucked up when you ran out, so you need to replace the fuel filter under the car, near the drivers rear wheel. if that doesnt work your lines are clogged up which is a big problem

A radioactive marker is a molecule that contains a radioactive atom, such as carbon-14 or iodine-125. When the marker is introduced into a biological system, the radiation emitted by the radioactive atom can be detected using specialized equipment like a Geiger counter or a scintillation counter. By tracking the movement and accumulation of the marker in tissues or cells, researchers can study processes such as metabolism, protein synthesis, or cell migration.

To wire a three phase compressor, you will need a motor starter( three pole contactor) with a motor overload device sized for the motor run current. A single or double pole pressure switch. This example is for 208 volts, coil on starter should be rated for 208 volts. Bring the three phase conductors to the top of the starter from the disconnect and land them in the wire terminals. Bring the three motor leads to the bottom of the starter and land them in the wire terminals. Go back to the top of the starter, land a wire in A phase terminal ( left Hand phase) with the wire that is already there(some starters have provisions for two wires) take this wire to the pressure switch and land on one side of the contact. Land another wire on the other side of the contact and go back to the starter and go the "coil" terminal on the starter. Go back to the top of the starter B phase terminal(center phase) land another wire there and go to the starter overload device terminal. When the pressure switch closes you should have 208 volts present on the starter coil and it should pull in. Once the pressure switch is satisfied the contacts will open and the starter will drop out.

A car's electronics turn off if the battery is defective or the wiring is damaged. This will prevent electronic components from receiving the power they need.

Front wheel shudder could come from worn tires, bad brakes, or worn front end components. Check all of these to find the cause of the shudder.

Yes, when properly equipped it boasts a towing capacity of up to 2,425 pounds (depending on the model).
