It’s not just the performance issue it’s the rattling noise coming from the serpentine belt area and the reason I think it’s the timing chain is because my 1995 cavalier a mechanic told me the tensioner broke on the timing chain and he said the rattling noise was the tensioner moving around maybe that mechanic wasn’t truthful with me he charged me $370 to fix it is there a test you can do to find out if it is the timing chain before I have a mechanic tear the engine apart.I will take it to a mechanic today I’m hoping it’s just Bearings going out in one of the pullys but I never get that lucky and it be something that simple

I have a 1995 cavalier also last year I had a mechanic replace the tensioner on the timing chain he said it broke the noise coming from the serpentine belt sounded like a rattling noise he said all he had to replace was the tensioner the chain was good the starts fine the main problem it has is loss of power this happened at the wrong time because I can’t afford it right now I’m hoping it can be alright to drive until next Monday when I get my check

I appreciate the reply but those videos are for a 2.4L mine is a 2.2 on that video the timing chain is located at the top by the valve cover my timing chain is to the left of the water pump where the drive belt is.I have a Haynes manual that tells you how to fix it I just don’t see why you have to remove the oil pan so I just wanted to watch a video to see it being done
