How do you change 92 cavalier heater core?
I attempted to change one. It was hard. You have to tear 1/2 the dash apart. Start at the bottom of the passenger compartment and keep going in. Its hard to tell you step by step on here. If you pay 20 bucks for a repair manual at autozone or something it will walk you thru it with pictures. Or you can be like me, give up, and find a local little cheap repair shop. Cost me 70 bucks to have it done.
use a hammer or bat that works well !
I second the idea unless you bought the rich kid version with the auto locks, then just use a hangar and a screwdriver. Straighten wire hangar. Pry door open with screwdriver enough to fit hangar through crack into interior. Push unlock button with hangar. If you didn't get auto locks, you're screwed.

How do you replace the water pump on a 1998 Chevy Cavalier?
refer to the gentelman's post about removing a water pump a little farther down on the page. the 1995-2004 models have the same basic design and there is a post on this site about removal on a '97 or '96 i think that will guide you step by step. if that isn't good enough, go to a parts store or walmart and get a Chilton's repair manual. i think they are about $12-$20 and they have instructions and diagrams on any repair or maintenance you may need to perform.
Good luck! <(^^<) (<---- Kirby) (>^^)>
The water pump is on the back side of the engine, under the exhaust manifold. This pump is driven off the timing chain. Yes, that's right, timing chain. You must remove the chain tensioner to release the pump sprocket from the chain to remove and replace the pump. Big job. Give yourself plenty of time to do this one.
How come the high beam light on the dashboard is stuck?
There is a microprocessor called the Insturment Panel Cluster Microprocessor. That controls several things, but one of the things it does is turn on the Daytime Running Light indicator and the High Beam Indicator. It could be bad. Are you sure that you have both High and Low beams? Check that first to make sure because the Turn/Hazard Headlight Switch could be bad causing you to have Hi Beams only. If you have Hi and Lo Beams, it is most likely the Microprocessor. Hope that helps.
Why might a Chevy Cavalier be running hot?
20 Reasons Why Your Engine May Run Hot
1. A lean air/fuel ratio (also check fuel pump and filter)
2. Too much timing/retarded timing/advance curve malfunction
3. Clogged radiator/collapsed radiator hose (restricted water flow)
4. Clogged engine (restricted water flow)
5. Stuck thermostat/incorrect thermostat
6. Bad water pump
7. Incorrect water pump speed (too slow, too fast)
8. Radiator too thick
9. Wrong-pressure radiator cap
10. No shroud around fan/improper fan position within shroud
11. Bad fan design
12. High-volume or high-pressure oil pump
13. Electric fan (puller or pusher) blocking air flow
14. Too much antifreeze
15. Wrong type antifreeze
16. Wrong spark plugs (i.e., wrong heat range)
17. Wrong gasoline type (try 89 or 92 octane)
18. Clogged catalytic converter
19. Clogged injector system
20. Exhaust getting into the water due to a cracked head or blown head gasket. Have your local radiator shop test your system for carbon dioxide.
It is also recommended conducting a flow test to locate a cooling system problem. Begin with a cool engine. Remove the radiator cap. Start the engine. Bring the engine up to operating temperature so that the thermostat opens. Increase engine speed to 2000 rpm. If water gushes out of the radiator, there is a flow restriction in the system. This must be corrected for proper cooling.
All those are great general universal problems, however on the 99 cavalier there is an air bleeder valve on the right hand side of the motor, there is a little steel tube coming out of a rubber hose and the valve sticks up on the steel tube. Open that bleeder valve up and a little air should come out. What happens is an air pocket blocks flow of coolant as silly as it sounds.
If that's not the problem check to make sure your fan is working. If it doesnt turn on when the car is hot, there is an ($11.00) relay that controls the fan, on the right side under that black box next to the battery. This also goes bad on the cavaliers too. Hope this helps, repost if this doesnt workout. I have a cavalier too so I can give you specific advice :)
How do you change the solenoid on a Chevy Cavalier?
Assume you mean starter solenoid; most GM starters have the solenoid built in. To change it, just replace the starter.
How do you remove the starter on a 1998 Chevy Cavalier?
Note:It may be necessary to remove the exhaust pipe(s) or frame crossmember to gain access to the starter.In extreme cases it may be necessary to unbolt the mounts and raise the engine slightly to get starter out
- Disconnect the negative battery cable.If the vehicle is equipped with a delco loc 2 or theftlock audio system make sure to have the activation code before disconnecting the battery.
- Raise the front of the car and support it securely on jackstands.Apply the parking brake and block the rear wheels.
- On 2.2L engines with manual transaxle remove the brace between the engine and the transaxle.On 2.3L and 2.4L OHC engines remove the air intake ducts to gain access to the top starter motor bolt locatedon the transaxle
- Remove the mounting bolts and detach the starter.Note the location of the spacer shims they must be reinstalled in the same position (if used)
- Working under the car clearly label then disconnect the wires from the terminals on the starter motor and solenoid
My daytime running lights don't work?

Where is the oil filter located on a 2002 Chevy Cavalier?
It depends on what engine you have. If it is a 4 cylinder, look at the pass side front of engine underneath. You may have to remove a shield to get to it. If it is a 6 cyl look at the pass side on the rear of the engine under the p/s pump.
If it is a 2200(or 2.2L) The oil filter is on the back of the engine block near the bottom of the block. It is tough to see, just feel around for it. I remove the filter from the top because underneath is the axel and the flex pipe for the exhuast.
It is on the passenger side of the engine block.
I remove the passenger side tire and reach in throught the side to remove the oil filter.
I remove the computer box just above the power steering pump filler and just move it out of the way. There are only 2 nuts. One on the shock tower and one on the firewall. You do not have to disconnect the wiring, it has enough slack to move it out of the way. Now you have enough room to get your arm in to reach the filter on the back of the block.
The location that is being given is correct if your 8th vin# is a "4", if it is not you have the newer style paper cartridge filter that is located on the driver side, front of the engine block mid way up.
The oil filter on a 2002 Cavalier is located in the front of the motor. There is a black plastic cap that has a 1 1/4" nut attached to it. You need to remove this plastic cap to get to the paper filter. It does not have a metal canister like most filters. It's an internal filter. To find this black cap look just to the left of the power steering fluid container and down.
What would cause loss of clutch fluid with no signs of leakage on a 1999 Chevy cavalier?
It is either leaking down the inside of your firewall under the dash (master cylinder) or leaking just enough inside the trasnmission bell housing to not puddle and be thrown around by the clutch spinning (slave cylinder).
Where is horn fuse located on 1996 Chevy cavalier?
It's a relay, not a fuse, and it should be under the dash on the driver's side.
How do you replace an ignition lock cylinder in a 1998 Chevy cavalier?

How do you program a keyless remote for a 2002 Chevy cavalier?
Inside of the trunk,driver side,pull back the carpet liner.You will see a black box velcroed to the wheel weld.It will have a wire with a plug on the end of it that goes to nothing.Ground those 2 prongs together with a aligator clip or something that will connect the two pins together.It will click when you have it connected. Then HOLD THE LOCK AND UNLOCK BUTTONS ON THE REMOTE AT THE SAME TIME UNTIL IT CLICKS AGAIN. Let off the buttons and unhook the clip. There you go. That's it. If you have more tha one remote don't unhook the clip,but hold those two buttons until it clicks and you will have 2 remotes to open the same car. If you have other cars go to www.programyourremote.com I have 1 remote that opens 3 z24's its kind of a pain because when i want in my 99 in have to close both 97's.
No it's like buying cheap plastic, but the automobiles are good enough to say a good car
