Monday, April 04, 2005 12:18 PM
hello to all right now i have a 2.2 cavalier i love this car a lot and really don't want to sell it but as of now it is giving me some problems i am getting a lot of hesitation when applying the throttle and at low idles i am cutting off. i have installed a venom module,jet module,pacesetter headers, 2 1/2 inch piping all the way back including the cat 8.5 spark plug wires and bosh 4 plugs and i am at a wall any help would be great.

get rid of the bosh+4 plugs, go back to delco plats. get rid of the jet mod. and the venom mod. i am sure they are casusing you to run so rich, thats it is not even funny! and or you need to increase the air flow in, to ballance it out... what other mods have you done? intake? tb? IMO just get rid of the two modules, and it should smooth it out...

Wow, Jet module and venom module. Waste of like $700. Both were dyno'd to gain less than 1hp (somebody could have farted in front of the intake to gain the 1hp on the second run).

Take off the junk, it'll run better.

thanks i had a feeling that that could have been it but with all the money that i spent in it i guess i just wanted to think it was making my car faster and yes i do have a cold air intake i had to modify it a little and it comes straight from the tb but the help was great.

and another thing is it likely for the the 2.2 to hit 240hp with out putting a lot of money into it, well i know i will turbo it and all but i mean is it better to get the numbers i want if i get the z24 or is my goal able to be reached?
