Nice

Good video. However you definitely don't have to crank it down that tight, just want it similar to installing an oil filter just a bit tighter. Vise grips and a guy laying on the wrench was a bit much.

That was Beautiful Thank You Very Much I will do EXACTLY what you said to my Sunfire GT Convertible You Are A Great Tutor!!!! Real Easy.

Got mine with the long tube header, sounds great

I changed my crankshaft sensor out

What does p1035 mean on 02 sunfire mean, same engine

do you guys have a install video on installing a short shifter onto a chevy cavalier

What tail lights are those?

Hi what would be the symptoms of the crank sensor not working on my 04 cavalier?

Don't forget to remove intermediate stub shaft from old CV to install into new cv

i once burned a hole in a refrigerant liquid line with a 3/4 wrench

Any videos for 2004 cavalier 2.2 eco head gasket??

Kudos for the video, for those looking for the vacuum hose measure the diameter of the fitting or take the old one to the auto parts store. I'm going to just grab a length from the store as mine is cracked.

Thank you so much. Took the noise away from our Vue that we have had for two years. Made noise since we had it. This tutorial was excellent. If you don't know where to tap to release the tensioner, because it's hard to see in the video- get a rounded edge tool and push the chain where the tensioner pushes against it. This will release the tensioner. Didn't have a 1-1/4" socket, ground a wrench to size and made do. 🤙

Thanks guys, been hard starting bad and noticed that vacuum line was spraying a little gas so just ordered a new FPR. Quick question, my vacuum line is all kinds of broken and they are discontinued, What size hose do I need to get that will work for that... just prepping everything out.

I cannot find the part anywhere. What is the part # for 03 caviler

I HAVE A 2004 CHEVY MALIBU 2.2L ECHOTECH ENGINE. IS THERE A WAY TO DO THIS WITHOUT REMOVING THE STARTER? HOW WERE YOU ABLE TO LINE UP THE TOP HOLE WITH THE STARTER IF YOU CANT GET YOUR HAND IN THERE EVEN IF YOU USED AN EXTENSION? DID YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH A 340 CODE AFTER USING THE AUTOZONE PART. I ALREADY PAID A MECHANIC TO INSTALL THE AUTOZONE CRANK SENSOR AND I STILL HAVE THE 340 CODE. I CHANGED ONE OF THE SPEAK PLUGS SINCE ONLY ONE OF THE 4 PLUGS I LOOKED AT REALLY NEEDED TO BE CHANGED AND THERE IS A NEW COIL PACK AND IGNITION CONTROL MODULE INSTALLED AND A NEW MAP SENSOR. SOME REVIEWS ON THE AUTOZONE WEB PAGE SAY SOME PEOPLE THAT USED THE DURALAST AUTOZONE PART ALSO HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE PART AND ALSO GOT A 340 CODE.

Those cavaliers are sick

Thank you for the great film. Probably the Fuel Filter on our 2003 Chevy Cavalier is also behind the Charcoal Canister. It would be very hard to find it without this film. I have Shop Service Manual for this car, but they don't describe in details this procedure. They give torque for Fuel Filter Fitting (I think it is that large 13/16 nut) 20 Ft-lbs (25 Nm) though. Did you relieve the Fuel Pressure before this work? In the Manual they describe the Relief w/special tool - Fuel Pressure Gage (J34730-1A). I saw in another film that it can be done just by removing the Fuel Fuse and starting and running the car until it stalls. I did that on another car (2001 Saturn SL2), but not sure if that can be done on any car including 2003 Chevy Cavalier. I would appreciate any opinion on this question. Thank you again.

I have a 2004 Chevrolet cavalier when get up about 55mph to 70 mph my car starts chugging I checked fuel pump pressure it's fine changed plugs new plug boots catylic converter checked it's fine put fuel injection cleaner in didn't make any difference car is fine at lower speeds would fuel pressure regulator be problem fuel filter looks like it has never been replaced going to replace it and f that doesn't help what else could be problem

Thanks for the info and excellent video demo. I'll keep my 2003 Sunfire going for as long as I can. I'm working off car ramps as well, and I'm 73 yrs young!

Just buy a honda and throw that eco junk out lol

Thanks for the video. Just helped me change one on a 2003 chevy cavalier. Awesome not having to take it to a shop.

Thanks for the video

Great video, just replaced the tensioner on my Saturn LW200. I deviated from your technique and would like to share this. After using zip ties to secure the cam gears to the chain, I used a bungee cord with a metal hook and threaded this through the exhaust cam gear sprocket and applied a healthy amount of torsion to keep the chain taught on the tensioner side. Then I carefully and slowly began threading out the old tensioner while watching the cam gear/chain as it will retract the chain guide towards the tensioner and maintain contact with it which prevents the tensioner piston/spring from falling into the engine well. The bungee keeps the chain taught preventing it from skipping a gear tooth on the lower crankshaft gear. The intake cam gear seemed stuck in compression cycle since I did not remove spark plugs, thus no movement could occur. All the chain slack will occur between the two cam gears, so the crankshaft sprocket will remain taut. Using a flashlight while threading out the old tensioner will you let visually see the guide keeping pressure on the piston so you can feel confident it will not drop into the engine well. Installing the new tensioner is easy as the bungee will subside as you thread it in. Now using a screw driver, push on the chain where it meets the tensioner piston and the activation will occur leaving you a nice, taut chain and you will have saved $1000 in labor and have a properly timed engine that is quiet. Splendid fix for a $30 tensioner part!

I gotta know, what year was the car yall started with? And how much did it cost?

Used two 10" locking pliers, one on each cam shaft, and the magnetic wand against the tensioner from the inside on a 7th gen malibu. P0016/P0017 went away! Going to do an extra oil change and hope they don't come back. Thanks man.

what do you mean explode? just the end dropping in?

Been looking for quality Cavalier videos forever thank god I found this channel

BUEN VIDEO,,,,,

This video will make sense if he was saying what he was doing, don't make sense, he is just removing screws

Where can i get those head lights and fog lights ?

What kind of head light do you have on the car? Led's?

Can I hire you guys? I need help with my cavalier

would this tutorial fix a loose and wobbly shifter?

Nice simple

Did u feel up with oil after wat is it.

157K and just doing this. Foe the record tho, 1 bought this car with 135k. Thanks fir the video. I got confused with that little clip on the filter. Did you say 03-05? Or 2000 and up?

This video helps a lot thanks

Excellent video. I’ve done various filters before, usually on the fly (no manual or fore knowledge of how or where), and you made it look easy. Sign of a good mech.

Would a bad timing chain tensioner cause the engine not to start?

Your video was ok, it helped me, thank u

Did you do a res delete with this setup or no? I found this same setup on eBay that I’m looking into for my new cavi. I used a Greddy rs muffler on my last cavi that I bought on eBay.

More videos please. The Cavalier community needs you guys. Especially the performance stuff because there is almost no video documentation on youtube.

The new one for me won’t go in the hole I had to hammer it in then try to thread it but it just started shaving aluminum off the hole and threads in the block

My new tensioner was very hard to fit in the hole and it would not thread in it just started shaving aluminum on the threads of tensioner why is the fit so hard

Love those clear ac controls, where did you get them?

Great video thanks but you never gave a part number

Was that full bolt on ?

This helped so much. I couldn't figure out why it was dry cranking.
