How do i turn off check engine light on 99 cavalier

The 99 cavalier 2.2 and 2.4 both use a timing chain and yes, if the chain breaks it can damage valves. If the engine still cranks over you can remove the upper coil module cover, remove a spark plug, roll the engine over and see if compression builds. If the engine does not crank over, the broken chain will prevent the engine from turning.

you have to find out the battery voltage when you crank it. Battery or starter problem.Need more info

Headgasket. If there is coolant, no visible leak, this is common to these vehicles

99 chev cavalier 2.2 problem: Driving along doing 70kms car just dies the only instrument light that came on was the oil light, radio and everything else still working. Shut it off checked oil, plenty in it. Tried to start it and it just wouldn't grab.

remove the mounting screw on the lens, then remove the top 2 bolts holding the headlamp, pull headlamp out to gain access to the mounting nut on the turn signal. Remove the nut and the turn signal light will pull straight out allowing you to replace the bulb.

Get the codes checked.This will tell you what cylinder is causing the problem.If the wires and plugs didn`t help then you probably have a bad coil.Hope this helps.Good luck.

As long as you can get it bolted to the engine somewhere it should work OK. I hope thats all the difference between those 2 engines. ?????

My 2000 cavalier has done this for 6 months. You take your key out then open your door, wait ten minutes and the system resets itself and the car will start-annoying you bet!!!

Hey, I'm having a very similar problem. Did you figure it out?

check the coolant for hydrocarbons as that will comfirm the headgasket problem all those symptoms would indicate..
