2000 Chevy cavalier problems?

Hi i have a 2000 Chevy cavalier. I have several problems with this car...its a cavalier. Well its my only car that i can afford epically with the gas being so high. One of my major concerns is there is a loud knocking noise when i step on the gas accompanied with major vibration. I have changed the motor mount the toque mount and the transmission mount still does the same thing. There is also oil in my blow by but none i can see in my air filter what does that mean, and what do i need to do to fix it? I have already replaced the motor in this car because my timing belt broke and the person i sent it too said it would be cheaper this way. I have no idea how many miles are on the motor just the vehicle itself. I also would like to know what are some cheep performance parts i could just slap on to make this car tolerant it is a 2000 Chevy cavalier...of course...2 door coupe with just a standard 2.2L. If you could also help me out with a website that sells cheep performance parts as well that would be awesome. Thanks for all your time.2000 Chevy cavalier problems?
Well, I wouldnt recommend buying any performance parts for it. Its not running right. The mechanic who sold you an engine on the pretence that it would be cheaper that repairing ripped you off. I would pay him a visit. The knocking noise with the vibration sounds like it might be a piston rod. I would definately pay that mechanic a visit!!.2000 Chevy cavalier problems?
Does the car run hot or use any water at all? I had a cavalier too and had sooooo many problems!!!2000 Chevy cavalier problems?
First of all, I believe that your motor doesn't have a timing belt, it has a timing chain. Unlike a belt, they become badly stretched and won't break.



Secondly, the blow by could mean as little as a faulty PCV valve or as major as bad piston rings. If your motor is hitting the firewall, that is due to a bad installation and should be checked for safety reasons as well as the knocking nuisance.



Lastly, you can find many parts for your Cavalier. I found some on eBay, Summit Racing Equipment or just Google: %26quot;Cavalier Performance Parts%26quot;. I have even found a turbocharger for mine that will make it capable of running 12's in the quarter.



By the way, I own a 2004 Chevy Cavalier and the only things replaced on it are the headlights, brakes, tires and oil. It has over 120.000 miles on it and still runs like a raped ape! They are a great car. Most people neglect the crap out of them and still expect them to run like a new car.
