1996 cavalier motor swap
Monday, March 29, 2010 2:04 PM
I have a 1996 cavalier with a 2.2 and 5 speed. I blew a hole in the block so I got a new motor. It came out of a 1997 cavie with a auto. My question is can someone tell me what sencer is what and what do they do? I am not mechanicly stupid just need some guidence.

Old motor





New motor






Any help would be great.

so if I dont use the knock senser will my car run funny or would i need a different computer? I dont know what the white one is either. I thought the red one was the oil pressure.

So does anyone have any idea what I should do to make the other motor have those sensors so I can put it in the car?

So I cant put those sensors on the block? Cuz I need a quick fix. Worst comes to worse i will find a harness but it mite be hard to find a harness for a 2.2 with only those sensors and a 5 speed trans around where im located.

where exactly would you put them? also, if the engine doesnt have a cam sensor, the cam doesn't have a reluctor for the sensor to sense. you're better off getting a different engine.

dis? or distributor? why would you want to? the cam/crank sensors are also used for fueling timing.

Is that where the Crankshaft Position sensor would be located on my 1997 2.2L Cavi as well?
