are the principals the same for a 96 corsica? the starter in the same engine area location? 

[1aauto]

@TheChritch If the Corsica has the same motor, than it should be a similar process.

I have just installed a new starter to my 99 suburban. It started fine 3 times, then it stayed on, with the key removed, until the battery died. what did I do wrong??

[1aauto]

@ObsessionMotorcycles It sounds like there could be a short in the solenoid somewhere.

@1aauto If it's a new starter that you purchased from us, call our sales line at 888-844-3393 and let us know what the issue is.

Hello i actually have a 1998 cavalier z24 and was wondering if this operation would be the same on a 2.4L engine..

[1aauto]

@Richy2316 It may be similar on the 2.4 motor. At a minimum the basics should reply when you remove it. Hope this helps you out.

Just replaced the starter on my 98 cavalier (2.2) but can't figure out why battery light comes on now. The car starts just fine, but maybe I put a wire in the wrong place? Would a misplaced ground wire cause the battery light to come on? There is a black wire with fusible link that I attached to a bolt on the solenoid that also has a silver braid looking thing. Any help would be really appreciated!

[1aauto]

@capazzo22 You may want to check your connections on the alternator and also clean the posts and terminals on the battery so that everything is making a good contact. Hope this helps you out.

Quick question, at 3:58 you can see the flywheel. What would you call that cover? I recently inherited my father’s cavalier when he passed away and his Chevy does not have a cover for the flywheel.

[1aauto]

@cylusxxx It's called a fly wheel cover.

[cylusxxx]

@1aauto Thanks. It probably sounded like a stupid question but I've been having a tough time finding one.

[1aauto]

@cylusxxx You may want to try your local salvage yard for one.

This is a very good video example, but I found some differences on my '99 Cavalier.

1st there was no bar or brace on mine; just a plastic shield. Be sure to check the top side for a 'lock nut'. The frontmost bolt from underneath felt suspiciously tight. I gave the bolt end a shot of WD-40, & saw the nut.

Also, my original starter was much smaller than the replacement, but identical from the mount point forward. Mounted fine. As I bought the car new, I know it is was factory. Hope this helps!

on the 05 2.2l Ecotec 4dr does the starter bolt on the bottom or rear of engine?

[cwbaldwin61]

Thanks! We just finished the job and this video was a BIG help!

[maximus1643]

Great video!  Just what I needed for my 2003 z24 cavalier.

[cwbaldwin61]

EXACTLY what I needed. I think the starter has gone out on my '96 Cavalier.

[Jerryinak]

you should do some videos on suzuki sidekicks

[littleelvisofMA]

I have 05 cavalier with the ecotec motor. does my start bolt on top or bottom

[IAMDAVEAMI]

oi

i have a 95 cav and its a whole different setup the ground wire is on the top and its a funny looking screw and i cant get it out and its hard to get to for space its on the top too

but other then that i didnt get it out yet but looks easy and i hope the teeth on flywheel isnt stripted

good videos on this channel

the end

:P

[alexscothern]

Dude, thank you very much!

[villainskateboardco]

Great vids! 

[mrexecutive1]

Great video! did you have to use shims for the starter or a feeler gauge for the gear teeth to mesh properly with the flywheel?

[1aauto]

@mrexecutive1 The simple answer, put it back together the same way you took it apart. If your car had shims put the shims back in. I have probably changed starters on 50 different vehicles this way and always been successful.
