Engine Mechanical problem
1997 Chevy Cavalier 4 cyl Automatic 170000 miles
My 97 cavalier won't start. All this happened after we changed the starter. It cranks but wont fire up. Tried putting starting fluid and gas at different times through throttle body but I just get a pop and starts a fire. Had an electritian take a look at it but didnt find nothing eletrical. Reason I called electrician was that starter got burnt twice, in one week. Had a full tune up before new starter was placed. What can possibly be going on here. Timing chain maybe?? Ignition switch??? (I know there was a recall on this model) or maybe fuel pump??? Again all this happened after we put the new starter.
