This is Electronic Traction Control. Yours, it appears is turned off. If you have an owner's manual, it will provide the information you want. If not, get one. In the mean time look closely, and I am sure you will find the on/off switch on the dash or near the shifter.

eBay or a junkyard would be the least expensive options available

Your 1997 Chevy Cavalier should be equipped with the 2200 SFI 2.2L pushrod OHV Motor, unless it is the Z24 model... If your running the normal 2200 motor your car is using a timing "chain" and not a belt since it a push-rod motor and the actual cam sits right above the crankshaft in the engine block itself. These chains are normally good for the life of the vehicle, unless it has had some extreme wear and tear over the years, your more than likely experiencing ignition or fuel problems if your car seems to be running "off time" On the other hand if your hearing valve clatter this is not a timing problem either... As miles build on your push-rod motor the valve lifters will start to space, unfortunately the 2200 SFI only uses "solid lifters" and not self adjusting "hydraulic lifters" so unless you have had the heads ripped into and the valves routinely shimmed these engines will eventually start to make some racket. Now if your car is the Z24 model of the Cavalier then your running Chevy's first attempt at a DOHC motor predating its now infamous "Eco-Tec" motor. The Z24 model uses a 2.4L DOHC motor that does in fact use a timing belt, in which case should be replaced every 100k miles to avoid breakage and valve damage/timing problems

I got one at a pull a part for 33 bucks and threw it in myself

The hour and minute button in mine are the tiny buttons under the volume knob. The one on the left is the hour and the one on the right is the minute. Just hold it down for a second and it will change.

The surge tank is located on the passenger's side of the engine compartment. There is probably a sticker that reads "Use DexaCool Coolant Only."

Locate the fuse, and yank.

Take the intake as well as all hoses and lines off of the top of the engine. Remove the valve cover gasket. Unbolt the exhaust manifold. Unbolt the head and remove. Replace the gasket, then reverse the procedure to finish the installation.

Remove all front accessories from engine. Remove radiator. To make it easier later, rotate the engine until the distributor is at #1. Remember or mark where the rotor is pointing. Remove distributor. Remove intake. Loosen oil pan bolts. Remove fuel pump. Remove timing cover. Remove valve covers and loosen all rocker arm nuts. Remove push rods. Remove lifters. Remove cam gear and timing chain. Now pull cam from front of engine being careful not to damage the cam bearings in the engine. To install use a moly lube on the cam lobes and Lubriplate on the bearing journals. You always have to use new lifters with a new cam. Carefully slide in the cam. The timing chain gears will have marks....dots usually on one of the teeth. Line these up, with the chain installed, so that the cam gear is showing 6 o'clock and the crank gear is at 12. Bolt it to the cam. Now turn the crank until it is back at 12 but the cam is also at 12 instead of 6. This is #1 compression stroke. This will help you when you install the distributor. Install is reversal. There are procedures online for setting the rocker arms while the engine is cold. I know it sounds like a lot, but years ago when I did this several times a year I could do it in a couple of hours. It will take you considerably longer since you haven't done so before.

Caution:On models equipped with Delco-Loc 2 or Theftlock audio systems make sure you have activation code * Disconnect the negative battery cable * Remove the drivebelt on 2.2L engines.Remove the air intake duct from the engine on 2.3L and 2.4L engines * Disconnect the inlet and out hoses from the power steering pump * Unbolt the power steering pump from the bracket on 2.2L engines or from the rear of the camshaft housing on 2.3L and 2.4L engines * Remove the pump * On 2.2L engines remove the pulley from the power steering pump with a suitable pulley removal tool * Installation is the reverse of removal.Tighten the pump bolts and fittings securely * Prime the pump by turning the pulley in the reverse direction to that of normal rotation until the air bubbles cease to emerge from the fluid when observed through the reservoir filler cap * Install the drivebelt * Bleed the power steering system

Yes.

take the old one out by opening the glove compartment and taking the two screws out and take that part of the dash off and take the two screws off the stereo and disconnect the antenna and wire harness buy a installation kit and a antenna adapter and a wire harness and match the wires from new stereo to the wire harness the instructions are all there with the kit i think any store that sells stereos has these kits it will only take about about hour and a half

The 1994 Chevrolet Cavalier wiper blade sizes are 17" wiper blades on both sides front. Do not buy by length-only however. See Sources and Related Links below for more information. Since there are over 22 different wiper arm attachments - be sure to lookup exact wiper blade part numbers by vehicle make, model and year for the brand wiper you decide to purchase. This ensures correct length AND correct attachment.

To the best of my knowledge, the only thing you should have to do is hold the "Lock" or "Unlock" button until you get some indication from the car that it recognizes the signal (may take 45 seconds to 1 minute).

the clutch is self adjusting you check the fluid level just refer to the manuel

To change out the ignition switch (key lock): I found you can follow the instructions in Haynes, autozone.com, etc. up to the point of the release pin. Instead of approaching from the bottom with the punch or awl - you won't find any hole, you need about 8 - 10 inches of wire like bailing wire (stiff, about 3/32" diameter). Look down from above at the key/lock housing. At about the middle of the housing you will see a cylindrical shape in the housing that will be pointing toward the driver's seat. This contains the channel to reach the release pin. You will be able to see (still looking from above) a rectangular slot where you can reach the channel. Take the wire and bend in a "L" shape with a gentle arch so the shortest end has about 1 1/2" straight wire. Insert the short end in the opening to find the pin and push it in to release the lock mechanism. I have a 94 Ford Ranger XLT v6 4L that this description fits exactly!! I even took my old door key with the new ignition key to a locksmith and had them finish cutting the new ignition key for the old door locks. Total costs for me to do the change ~$35.00 the local Ford dealership wanted $325.00. Total time including install, buying part, getting keys cut 1.5 hours. This site is great!
