I have the factory struts in. Its the rattle of the interior since the engine is using solid bushings and the control arm bushings being like a rock. The whole interior rattles now and my passenger door!.

Well no more smoke really. Have a faint amount come out when first started for about 5 seconds almost unnoticeable. There is a puf that comes out at wot in 1st but I cannot do this in any other gears since its not runing right in high rpms. My new coil pack from GM comes tomorrow.
Installed my mirror visors. They actually work really nice.

Did you take the entire washer tank out to replace the washer pump?
Both the cavaliers I have owned didn't have working windshield washer fluid pumps working.
And also my washer fluid lines seem to be melted by the battery.
Easy stuff to install?
Here is how the car is running with everything hooked up.

In 2001 they changed the washer squirter lines. They are all black and all one piece of prebent hose from the bottle to the wirpers. Get those from any 2001-05. 2000 and lower had a clear line and a black line and they always brake. The pump just snaps into place just like the line. You take the pump out by tipping the top towards the engine and it will unsnap then pull and twist it up. It you are full of fluid it will pour out so get a bottle for it to go into. The whole thing takes about 5-10 mins to do. Dont forget to unplug the pump. My pump stopped working after the swap for what ever reason. I never had an issue with it before.

Now that is good information right there. I will see what I can do with that some time soon.
I have been just cleaning my windows every time I fill up for gas at a gas station.
Would you know if the pump/tank changed any year?
A buddy of mine has a 99 washer tank and pump that I might snag.
Mine leaks from the connection of the tank and the pump, so i have yet to figure out if its the tank or the pump (but the pump doesn't work regardless)
I have no idea if pre 2000 are the same. I never looked at them. Just letting you know.
