Usually when the upper hose fails the engine has overheated. If the engine will not crank it may be locked up. If it cranks but won't start it could have lost compression in the cylinders.
The knocking (as opposed to pinging) could indicate lack of oil or a bad oil pump. If it was the lack of oil then that, in turn, could cause overheating and a subsequent blown radiator hose. In addition, depending on how long you ran the engiine while it was knocking, you could have driven off a pistion rod cap while the pistion seized up in the cylinder. If the engine won't crank or cranks with some undesirable metal on metal noise you may have an engine job (or a new short block)in your future. My arm wave analysis may be modified by some additional information.
you said it cranks then you said it wont turn over if it wont turn over you might have get the engine to hot and seized the engine please spesifiy if the engine turns over or not
It sounds like you've blown a head gasket. That would explain why the hose blew off in the first place as well as all the other issues since. I'd recommend performing a compression test at this point. Best of luck!
Sorry! sounds like this one is too far gone! If it blew the radiator hose off the engine, then the head gaskets or the cylinder head itself has failed. You will quite possibly need a new engine put in your Cavalier.
you've got a serious overheating issue creating the pressure. Your temp gauge must be reading hot too.
If not, then you have engine compression pressure getting into the cooling system through a blown head gasket.
Replacing the cap will not help.
