Chevy Cavalier Z24

A Z-24 is a Cavalier. So yes...depending on what parts, it's the same car. The body parts, interior, etc is the same. Depending on what years of Z-24 you are talking about, pre-95 Z-24s came with a 3.1 V-6 instead of the 4 popper, various body spoilers, and a little stiffer suspension.

It is Fuse #14 in the fuse box located under the drivers side dash

Depending on the year, the 99 runs 155lb without performance parts.

no its a throttle body injected engine

smokingallowed say's...Fenner82 is on the right track but not completely correct. His "TBI" engine has 1 fuel injector "squirting fuel strait down into the throttle body", and your Z24 has a multi-port injection system(1 fuel injector for each cylinder) which "squirts" fuel into the intake at the engine head.

it would be a really hard swap to go from the 2.8 to a 3.8. one the 2.8 is a 60 degree motor and the 3.8 is a 90. i am going to swap the 2.8 for a 3.4 because as far as power the 3.8 isn't much more powerful than the 3.4 and the 3.4 is a very straight forward swap almost everything is interchangeable.

1998-2000 2.4L is 0.050

if u'v opened the idle compensator on top of ur carb check for leak there

check the carb seat gasket for cracks and check bottom screws some of them will leak if they're not tight enough

You must be able to turn the lock to remove it. First,unscrew the tilt lever,then remove the 3 screws underneeth the colum trim cover and remove them. Then turn the key to the "RUN" position. On the back of the lock is a release button press it in with a small screw driver and remove the lock cylinder.

I can't upload photos on this sensor, because it is very hard to see. It is located below the heater tubes that lead to the heater core. On the 99 model it is bolted into the engine block with 1 bolt going through the center of it, and the sensor is round, with a wire, and is about the size of a standard lug nut. You may need a mirror on a stick just to see it.

I would still be interested in a picture.

Thanks

go to autozone.com type in knock sensor in the product search, then year,make model. There is a photo there.

No...The problem comes in with the bolts that hold the flywheel onto the crankshaft. You just cant get to them with the tranny still mounted. And then at the other end,you have the timing chain. And in the middle (inside the oil pan you have the chain that drives the oil pump. Also...cleanliness is a big factor....pulling the engine and tranny as a unit out the top is not that difficult, but it is designed to come out the bottom. All the plugins are different..remove the crank pully, the intake manifold(so to give more clearance for the exhaust pipe to clear the "arm" part of the tranny in the back part of the engine), the tranny mount from the car(driver side) and bend the corner of the battery tray alittle. Then peel back the brake master cylinder without removing any brake lines... It comes out without any problems.

Right below the EGR valve bolted to the transmission.

I have a 2.3 quad 4 in my 95 z24 and a 2.4L in my 01 z24.

There is only one wat to set the timing on this engine, and if it the crankshaft has been turned without the cams turning you will have bent valves....but the timing mark on the crank is.... keyway up at the 12 o'clock position,(there is a mark) and the cams will be down. What I mean by that is the cam gears have little holes in them so you can slide a 8mm bolt in until it slides into a set hole behind the gear that is machined into the timing chain housing. A stud from the exhaust or intake manifold works great and are just the right size. If you are installing cams or timing chain & gears...turn the crank keyway to the 3 o'clock possition before removing the chain and gears so the pistons will be half up and down giving the valves plenty of room to move and you wont get bent valves. After you get your pins in the cam gears, turn the crank backwards to the 12 oclock position,then install the chain.

i can answer that one the 3400 out of a 2000 grand am will slap right in. there are afew others including the 3400 out of the avalanche

If it came out of a Cavalier....Yes,they are the same. But other model's, like an Alero, No. This one has a different gear ratio and it will confuse the computer and set off trouble codes(check engine light)

yes.......

Vacuum leak,(to check vacuum lines just disconnect them one at a time at the throttle body and put your finger on the vacuum port on the throttle body and see if the idle corrects) Leaking EGR valve (but that model year dont have one) air filter clogged, Fuel pump not pushing the correct pressure (key on,engine not running 41-47psi...engine idling w/regulator vac. hose connected 31-44psi...vac. hose disconnected 42-50psi), Leaking head gasket, camshaft worn, and also the Idle Air Control Valve(on the very front of the throtle body) remove and clean any carbon/dirt off the pintel and pintel seat. But my guess would be the fuel pressure is low

If you have already replaced the plugs and wires, your best bet would be to replace the coil pack housing(big white housing under cover). Those are notorious for failing in the late model z24s. I had the same problem with my 97 and afterwards it ran fine.

Im not exactly sure what you're asking but I will try to tell you what I think might help. If someone has tampered with your vehicle, your fuel pump will shut itself off to prevent theft. So if your vehicle is starting up and running for a split second then stalling out, you might have had someone tampering with it (I know from experience). Just unhook both battery terminals for a couple minutes to give your computer plenty of time to clear itself. Reconnect the terminals and you should be in business. Anytime you have computer probs like anti-theft and sensors, unhooking your battery and rehooking it will reset your computer.

Sometimes that will work. If the anti theft light is flashing what you need to do is appy the emergency brake and start the the car and let it stall. The anti theft light will start to flash. Do not touch anything!!! Within 10-15 mins the light will light solid and you are safe to start and drive.

The front sub frame is all the same from 95-02 cavalier, Z24 or sunfire. i had a rotten one in my 97 and used a frame from a 01 sunfire GT

With this engine,it is impossible to put it in backwards.The spring wont fit down in that black metal tube.But the spring faces up towards the exhaust manifold. Just remember that with all engines,the spring will face towards the engine block because it needs to know the coolant temp. inside the block.

The car has to be jacked up and level. The engine needs to be warm and running in Park. Remove threaded plug (11mm socket) adjacent to the oil pan. If no fluid runs out add fluid (red screw cap on top of transmission) until it starts dripping out the hole at the bottom. The Hayes manual says the car should not be running. That is not correct. If you don't have the car running and let the fluid out as the directions say you will be about a quart and a half low. The car must be in park and running.

$1200 to $1400 depending on where you go. Obviously the dealer will be a little higher. Mostly labour cost as the parts are usually under $300.

Between the driver door and the dash. And also under hood next to the battery.
