2000 cavalier help needed

[ZrexC]

ok it overheated, and theres like 4 bolts directly in front of the valve cover, the alternator bracket bolts to 2 of them. anyways there was water squirting out of 2 of them so i tightened them down and the water stopped leaking. however it wont start, it turns over and hits some but wont fire up. also when it overheated the passenger side floorboard was soaked. anyideas. also id like to know where the headbolts are located.....lmk....thanx

Sounds like you may have flooded your engine... i'm no good with caveliers though, so i wouldnt know where they are located lol

if it soaked the pasenger side florr board u got a heater core busted .My guess it overheated and blew the lines .

yeeaahh....lol

[ZrexC]

anyone know what all you gotta take out to get to the heater hoses?

[Indyvette]

I guess i dont know what i'm talking about lol, it just sounded like you may have flooded the engine (which is a void answer now)... but i have experienced similar to what happened to your car, but mine was an AC leak.. under the glove compartment, the floorboard was wet..

[ZrexC]

the heater core is a bitch to get to!

[Indyvette]

haha, i'd expect so.. we have diagnosed my car's fuse problem... the wiring is shorting out, so any fuse we put in blows! =X

thos heater cores are easy, wtf you talking about. Sounds like to me you blew the headgasket. Those 2.2 OHC blow easily if overheated

[ZrexC]

yeah easy after you take all the fawkin b.s. outta the way... headgasket aint blown
