in the words of my machanic...
"dude, it was pointless to run a ECU scan... your motors about ready to say @!#$ you and die".
i laughed so hard.
so, im probably going to be selling this cavalier soon too.
after i just sold the LT3, the 2g is now getting ready to go up for sale. maybe someone can finish what i started, and swap motors. idk. but im sad....
so i figure the car may last till next fall or winter. so im saving for a new whip.
i'd like to get a 2g drop top Z, (92-94) a 1rst gen Z in good shape, or a 3rd gen with low miles and taken care of.
but as of now my price range is 500, so im not really looking. but what ever money i make off the 2g, will get droped into what ever i buy next.

STENG!!!!!
my last post of the month... I was saving it incase I severely needed it, but this was too much of a shocker. DO A SWAP!!!! this is sad indeed
find the 2nd gen drop top Z you mentioned... surely you can find one on a budget, easier than a 3rd gen. Hate to bring it up during the sad moments of your dying sunvalier, but did you see what I found?
Originality and Creativity surpasses Popularity
soon to be V6-Turbo, purr kitten purr!
yea... @!#$!!!!! i hate you.

Sux to see another J loose a motor, I think you should just complete your swap like you said, but if your going to get a new car, glad to see your sticking with a J Hopefully a second gen, I'm not a big fan of the third gens, but its up to you, I'd hate to lose you to the third gen crowd you've been a big help around here, So lets all pray you find a phase 2 Z24 vert cheap
It cant be that hard my cousin just bought a 89 Z for $300 but its hard top.
Good luck with your search.
i want at least a 92+ for the brake upgrade. but i'll settle for a 90 and up. being as that came with a 3.1 vs. the 2.8.
plus i really hope to strike gold and find the 5spd white vinyl interior, blue body. mmmm sexy...

eh i blew up my 93 sunbird, 4 days after i bought it. got an oil change, took it out for the night with some friends to the casino. i didnt know the oil sending unit didnt work and somehow with in 4 days the car ran out of oil, blew a piston rod, shot it right through the block and radiator. yea good thing i bought the car with cash...cuz i ended up taking out a 1500 loan to fix the car. for some reason i just care too much about my little birdy, and keep putting money into it. prolly should get a new car....prolly wont happen. i'm off to go hand wash her now, tried a new oil in her...valvoline max life...and a valvoline fuel system cleaner. wow does she run so frickin smooth! i just need to get her new doors somehow fix the metal under the doors, new exhaust system and shes a brand new car!
sucks to hear that. Well if your looking for a older Z my girlfriend is getting ready to sell hers. Shes got a 1993 Z 24, 148000, White Motegi rims, Stereo system, I think she is sellin it for $2500 if your interested?
ic, what type of engine do you got in it?, i just so happen to have a 2.0, i live in northern ontario, if u want it i dont want money i just need someone to get my heads for me... lol i got the 90 2.0 engine, tranny, wirng, comp, gauges.... working just retard hours in my garage lately, summers comming and we all are trying to get or summer toys out so lifes realy busy, email me if i can help you out at all man, hope it all works out for ya. peace
From the sounds of it you have a TBI 2.0 OHC from a sunbird.....Sunvalier has a 2.2 OHV and if he was to use your motor all the wiring and ECM etc would have to be swapped over as well.
ah i didnt notice that... but i do have all the wiring, comp, etc... its from my 2.0 swap... just trying to find the internals im going to use on my new engine before i pull the 2.0 lol, i'm lazy and dont like to push cars when i dont have to
Sorry man.....
