Quick Question regarding air temp sensor?
Wednesday, March 22, 2006 12:09 PM
Well first of all I have no check engine light on, No service soon light on, The problem seems to be that, when my 01 cavalier 2.2 4 spd auto is running at normal operating temp, I am noticing a little up and down drop in idling. Their is no firing missing, I am just wondering if air temp sensor could be an issue.

The cavalier has had tune up plugs / wires / TB cleaned out / New air filter /.

Anyone have any Idea's?

thanks.

Well Brandon Schmidt : I dont have a tach, Its not too bad, Its all most like vaccum leak, Its weird, I am still thinking of checking into my fuel injectors to be serviced, That may be an issue for me to look into. Just at an idle it bumbles around a little bit, Then some days you dont notice the engine idling.

Had same problem with my 02 fire - 2,2Eco - the wiring harness running the engine towards the firewall was rubbing on the end of a bolt sticking out near the driver's side wheel well. Took the tech 2 hours to find it, and told me it was not the first time he's seen it. So you might want to give that a check as well. Mine was grounding out when I turned to the right, causing the motor to shift a little to the driver's side pushing the wire into the bolt.
