So I have a 1995 Chevy Cavalier 2.2L as my dail driver and I just replaced my spark plugs and plug wires along with a new valve cover gasket because my old one was leaking bad.Now for the problem which is after i got done installing these parts im getting a vibration in my gas pedal and a noise from the engine bay ,when i let off the gas then ease back on it again,and the vibration is the most noticeable in 3rd gear when holding a constant rpm and in 5th gear at about 60mph.I also do have a ticking noise comming from the front left wheel but have had it for a year in a half and assume thats a cv axle but have no idea on this vibration issue.the car has 141000 miles on it and has been a very good daily driver and been easy to fix and diagnose up until this issue has me stumped can anyone help or no what the issue is?

I had a similar 1990 2.0 L and the valve cover always leaked. Wasn't ever able to stop the thing.

Are you sure all of your wires are hooked up securely? Maybe you have a cylinder down/missing?

The ticking probably is your CV.

yeah the wires and plugs are all good the only thing i can think is maybe some oil got down in there and is fn with the spark plug and even weirder earlier on my way to work the car was fine, but comen back home it started doin it again

Does it feel like a miss or is it just making funny noises?

the pedal vibrates bad and it only does it when u let off the gas and there a hummin noise from the engine bay doesnt do it when ur on the throttle or hammerin it just when u let off the gas pedal then it starts and it seems to do it when the rpms are up

Did you use the correct plugs? My old cavi was tempramental(sp?) about that. Chenged the plugs twice before it stopped doing what you are describing. I went back with OE acdelco's.

You did good to get the OHV to last that long IMO.

i put auto lite wires and bosch platnium plus 2s on it

Does it only vibrate when driving (in motion, in gear)?

Check motor & tranny mounts, but it really sounds more like a driveline problem - either a CV shaft or clutch/TOB. Also, see if it does it in netral while driving.

It never fails - you do something nice for the car, and it stabs you in the face.

Yup, ditch the bosch plugs and get a set of acdelco plats. I went with bosch fist and it ran like crap. I threw a bunch of parts at it trying to fix it and finnally changed the plugs again and it started running smooth again. My 2.2 made it to 101K miles and it spun a bearing. It had 3psi oil pressure at idle. after the rebuild it had 5...

+1 on ditching the Bosch plugs. Get some OE ac delco's and see how they do.

Not sure what some of you are talking about, the 2.2 was a great engine.

NonGoggleGuy

I agree. Bosch plugs aren't even good enough for the garbage.

but just so everyone knows the plugs that were in there were autolites and it ran fine with them and my buddys cavalier is the same car and hes got 298,000 miles on itand its still goin strong and he agrees with me sadly are jbodys have been more reliable than our fbodys
