1990 Chevrolet Cavalier Z24 review from North America
"A 15 year love affair"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I've replaced 2 fuel injectors.
Most recently, 1 fuel pump.
Replaced 2 alternators so far.
Typical for a car this age, replaced the timing belt.
Went through 2 water pumps.
The catalytic converter has been replaced once.
Along with that, the muffler went 6 years later.
And the latest is a thrown rod in the engine causing me to right now have a used engine put in it.
General comments?
I love this car, and since it's now 14 years later, it seems I'm keeping it forever.
Interior is in great shape, and the paint is OK for the age of car.
