I do wonder if drainage through the small valve orifice would be less thorough than drainage through the normal drain opening? Any comments would be appreciated. Has anyone tried this device?
Have not seen it better said anywhere else. I am one Chevy owner (97 LS Cav will be the last one) that was glad when the warranty expired.
Specifically if the power steering can be made to drive with a lighter feel or if the engine idle speed, when hot, can be increased?
My new Cavalier has an idle of about 500 RPM and the steering feels VERY stiff taking off from a stop. When the engine is cold and the idle is at about 1000 RPM, the steerinig feels lighter and I would like it that way all of the time. The idle speed adjustment screw is off limits to me with a 5-sided torx screw (not the usual 6-sided version).
Thanks in advance.
I own a 00 Cav and it idles 600 rpm,my steering is stiff but i like it that way.
The 97 is running very well; the 4 speed auto is good, but kills the mpg. Poor customer service (various dealerships) will make it the last Chevy we own. These vehicles tend to require some attention under warranty to work out the wrinkles, and the service department experience is lacking, imo.
Please save my student funds in bargaining with dealers.:)
Thanks in advance. Natasha
My car cost-get this $12,990 out-the-door(with theGM rebate, my GM card rebate and dealer discount).
Also, she has the same nagging sound coming from the dash area on her car that I saw mentioned in a prior post, any fixes, the dealer didn't hear it when they drove it (it is a squeaky noise).
Thanks in advance

As well, the engine is pretty loud inside the cabin. Are these typical of Cavaliers? Anything to worry about? It only has 8,000 miles on it and I'm starting to worry a little bit.
Any comments?
Thanks,
I got it for $6995.00 plus $950 for a 3 year/36,000 mile powertrain warranty from Chrysler which is good at any Chrysler dealer. It seems like a good deal.
As for the car, I like it coming from a saturn SL2. The A/C works very well, the seats are good. Cd stereo is great. I like the speed sensitive volume. It has a power sunroof. A first for me and I always wanted one. The steering is as good as my saturn and the ABS brakes are strong. Engine power is fine for commuting 50 miles round trip each day.
It has power locks but not windows which I thought was odd though.
I like the fairly high seating position. The "heavy" substantial feel of a compact class car is a pleasent surprise. I like the 3 speed auto because there is less gear hunting and kickdown than a four speed. I drive in heavy traffic. The CD stereo has alot of features. The steering wheel has alot of fingergrips althogh it doesn't tilt. The seats are excellent. Sopportive and wide.
I have a 99' mediem blue metallic coupe. The ride is very smooth. It feels more like a mid size car. I have 15" touring tires. The powertrain may not be as refined as some japanese brand name cars but overall I am impressed with my first Cavalier. It's a better car than I thought after all the crapalier comments ect.
I have read.
It's also afforadable to insure and New Jersey has the highest rates in the nation and we are on the cusp of a auto insurance crisis with major insurance companies giving up on doing buisness in this state. It's better than insuring a Honda Civic coupe that is on the top ten stolen car list anyway!
So far I'm happy with my first Chevy.
When I first saw it I though it was very different and maybe almost ugly but the more you see it the more you like it. I might have to make room in my garage for one, especially the turbo model thats coming out.
what HP we talking about?
I wasn't expecting it to be a sport compact car since I diddn't find one with the 2.4 engine so I'm not disappointed. It's just for commuting anyway.
I wanted a new LS sedan with the sport package but for $6,995 for a very clean 99' coupe with just36,000 miles. It was alot more affordable than a new Cavalier even with the $3000 cash back from GM.
They had to put in a rebuilt transmission too. It runs fine for now I guess, I have not talked to him for about 6 months now.
The manual says to use 2 for better performance but not exceed a certain mph. And not to go for to long without having it in drive or the tranny could overheat. Mine is a 99'. I don't know if they still use the 3 speed at all.
I am just really pleased with the car so far.
2003 has been updated mostly from a mechanical stand point with the new 2.2 Ecotec. The update was needed as a new Cavalier is probably 2 years away and a refresh always helps sales a little.
Now, of course we aren't taking the car in because we don't own it anymore -- but my curiosity's up. What's wrong with the Cavalier now?
