problem #2

2007Feb 17

Cavalier VL () 2.2L Ohv

  • Automatic transmission
  • 60,273 miles

It was a -20 degrees Celsius in the middle of a Canadian winter when my fuel pump decided to go; I was able to start the vehicle without any problems. Then the RPM's started fluctuating at an alarming rate and it stalled on me. I tried to get it started, but to no avail. The car would crank which led me to put the car in ignition and try to hear the "whirling" sound of a fuel pump; no luck. Luckily she was still under GM's powertrain warranty (I got lucky... the pump died at 96 000km, powertrain warranty is up to 100 000km) so the repairs cost me nothing and the towe to my local Chevrolet dealer cost me nothing under CAA. The Cavaliers and Sunfires (especially 2002-2003 model years) are notorious for fuel pumps. This was definitely a piss off as waiting 40 minutes for a bus in -20 weather really sucks.
