My 2001 Cheverolet Cavalier will start and shut off..none of the gauges will move and the radio and lights does not come on when i turn the switch.
The computer can be in the engine compartment or behind the dash inside the passenger compartment.
But I doubt the problem is the computer. I would check for power at the ignition switch first. If you have power in and out of all circuits with the switch on, next would be the relays.
I have a 2001 Cavalier - and it\'s had the exact same weird problems. The stories I could tell.... But anyway, don\'t dink around for years wasting your money trying to find an answer - just replace your battery, and make sure it\'s connected well. My husband\'s cavalier had a similar but slightly different problem - when it happens he just goes and hits the battery in a certain place with a screwdriver.
Next, the wires will become a problem in the older cavalier\'s. My husband\'s is a 2000, and he\'s got internal wiring issues too.Now, if your car continues to follow my example - next your turn signals will die on one side, and there\'ll be nothing a mechanic can do about it without rewiring the entire car (and they won\'t).

The PCM is located behind the right front fender splash shield, you wheel need to remove the right front wheel and splash shield to gain access to it.

It is probably not the anti theft system if it cranks over fast then slow it is your timing chain. If you want to try resetting the anti theft system disconnect the battery cables for 24 hours and reconnect them.

If no screws or nuts holding it that you can see from outside, then just use a screwdriver or something and pry at the base where it is against metal.

Only way it would work is to do the 01 conversion by switching the whole doghouse (fenders, hood, bumper, lights, etc.) It can be done though.

Look where your throttle cables etc are attached at throttle body, it should be at opposite end of the shaft that operates throttle plate in front of throttle body opening. Usually held on with Torx screws
