I think I’d rather just replace the radios with new ones, not too fond of aftermarket units over the oem radios though
I have the code for the radio but if I go to remove the radio does that activate the security system on the car? It is equipped with an alarm
Will do. Havent had a chance to look into it, but it’s getting worse for sure, especially now that it’s getting warmer out
No check engine or codes. Didn’t think to try the old carb cleaner trick but I’ll see what happens with that
I actually had a similar front right wheel collision with my ’01 cav z24, skidded hard into a curb during a snowstorm. Resulting problem was wheel bearing needed replacement. My other problem is the verticle alignment of the wheel is off and the outer edge of the tire wears down (steering wheel is off center). Haven’t had it looked at so not sure what’s going on (bent control arm, rack, tie rod end, subframe)
Would it be best to take it into an alignment shop for analysis?

[quote=”dreamer2355″ post=32014]Ive never heard of fluid film.
However, POR-15 is excellent. However, it will only be a band aid fix if the metal is starting to rot and flake away :([/quote]
Yeah right rear quarter panel and pass side rocker are starting to rust out as well as around bottom area of the gas cap area, which I have seen that area rust out on tons of Cavaliers. Not sure about underneath the car but I’m sure the subframe prolly rusting too. My hope was to slow down the rusting process to prevent further damage. Im just not sure what product to go with.

well after changing the oil filter out for a Bosch filter and re-checking the oil level all if fine and no oil pressure light. Perhaps it was a problem with the Fram filter I originally bought not sure. Thanks for all the help.
Thanks everybody for the help. I decided to run the code scanner and found the following codes: P1225, 1226, 1227, 1228 and P1421, 1425, 1451, 1472. I erased the codes and will check it again. I know the 12XX codes point to failiure or short to ground in the injector circuits and the 14XX’s seem to be emissions system related. Not sure how to proceed with diagnosing/correcting these issues should the computer pop these codes again when I scan it next time.
