Oil rises when it is hot..So with engine cold and not running set parking brake,get safety glasses.get a shop towel..Remove oil dipstick and wipe it clean..Inspect stick and it will show you where oil level should be....Stick it back in slowly until it bottoms out..Remove slowly and check level...

Where is the camshaft position sensor on a 2002 chevy cavalier 2.2 ecotec ls sport

From the internet search. This is on the back side of the engine. Crankshaft position sensor is near the oil filter. Camshaft position sensor is straight above.

I have a 2002 Chevy Cavalier that is leaking oil and gets hot very fast. I replaced the valve cover thinking that was the problem but it turns out that is not it. What else could it be? It leaks reall

it could be a head gasket that is leaking. what you need to do is visually inspect to see where the leak is coming from. you may have to power wash the motor first and drive or run it then check to see where the oil is leaking.

Why is my 2002 chevy cavalier getting gas in oil?

bad egr valve, pcv valve, if the level of your oil isnt rising its probably just the oil washing the cylinder walls during the piston strokes. It could be that your rings are wearing but you should get blue smoke. Try changing your oil and see if the smell returns quickly or not.

The car will not shift into gear, it is a 2002 Chevy Cavilier, any thoughts?

run fault codes and look for a faulty torque converter clutch servo/ solenoid problem. Check oil level is on the hot oil mark

I have a 2002 chevy cavalier that is leaking oil from the rear side of the engine.It looks to be coming out the end of a sensor.I can see it but cannot reach it .

It's going to be hard to get to, but can be done, that sensor is your oil sending unit, auto parts will also need to know if it's an oil light or gauge.
