Its a 5/8 or a 16 mm, both need to be a deep well socket. and make sure you get a " spark plug socket" if not you will need a magnet on a stick

SOURCE: How to change spark plugs of Chevy cavalier 2002

for the most part they are in between the fuel injector the best thing for you to do is stop by your local GM dealership in the part department and they be able to print you off the pictures and diagrams you need if all fails stop by your local library and get your hands on a Haynes auto repair manual for your car Merry Christmas and Happy New Year as always wish you the best of luck Michigan Man.

SOURCE: 2008 dodge avenger spark plug location and socket size.

  • 2008+ Dodge Avenger 2.4L 4cyl.
  • Remove plastic cover on top of engine, just pull on each corner for it is friction fit.
  • Once removed you will see 4 black spark plug covers with one hex type screw holding each.
  • Remove Hex screw and place aside, pull upward to remove plug boot from plug.
  • To remove the plug, use a 5/8 socket with a 6" extension. Once plug has been turned out all the way and you cannot get the plug up and out of the hole, just press the plug boot back on the plug and pull it back up.
  • Gap and replace 4 plugs with the same or equavalent type,. Drop plug down the hole and use socket to align and tighten until just snug, then torque to manufactures specifications.

2001 Chevy Cavalier turns over but no power to fuel pump and no spark

2001 Chevy cavalier It's a 2.2 litre 4 cylinder. what size of spark plug socket do I need to replace my spark plugs ? Please advise !!

When you buy the new spark plugs, take one of the plugs and get a spark plug socket to fit. The size may depend on the brand? Try 5/8 spark plug socket. Hopefully the socket for the new plugs will fit the old plugs?

Just wanted to know the size of the engine in a 2001 chevy cavalier

it's either a 2.2 liter or 2.4 liter 4 cylinder (if the spark plug wires are on the side of the engine it's the 2.2, if on top it's the 2.4 -- 2.2 will also say 2200 on top of part of the air intake)

What is the size of the socket i need to change the spark plugs on a 97 cavalier?

I believe it is a 7/16 deep well socket. You will want to get the spark plug socket because it actually holds and protects the plug.

Spark plugs

The spark plugs on the cavalier are under the 2.2 ecotec panel located on the top of the engine. There are no spark plug wires to deal with. The electronic coil pack directly attaches to the plugs with rubber seats like in a spark plug end. Then you use a deep socket ratchet to get the plugs out. Use anti-seize compound when replacing the plugs.
