I've had a 99 cavelier 4dr ls for about a yr and it started making a knocking noise in the engine. They told me it was the timming belt, so i replaced that. Know it's making the same noise. Different mechanics are telling me it's the timming belt (again) and others are telling me it's the valves. PLEASE HELP!! If you might know what it is please e-mail me at spoildcrzy@yahoo.com . Im tired of spending money on repairs that leave my car the same.
Where is the horn located on the Cavalier and how difficult is it to change it.
Having difficulties trying to locate the horn relay for a 1996 Chevorlet Cavalier. Found the horn located above the splash guard by the passenger side wheel. Fuse OK, lighter works fine. Hopefully it is the relay. Anyone experience this before. Pls help.
