1999 Toyota Cavalier Misfires

[Davinice]

I have a 1999 Toyota Cavalier 2.4L from Japan. My problem with the car is that it gives black smoke out from the exhaust and burned alot of gas. I scanned the computer and it shows misfire, so I have checked the coil cover, spark plugs, and even send my computer to a Chevrolet car dealers in Florida but they couldn't scan it. They said that it is different with the chevrolet cavalier.

I don't know what to do next, so can anyone help me to solve this problem? Thanks a Lot!

never heard of the toyota cavalier. and this is a chevy cavalier site. so I don't know if anyone here would be able to help youi but you never know.

ok after some research I found it. I really had no idea that chevy and toyota got togethter to sell the cavalier in japan. I guess this will be a blow to all those who want to hate imports.

hmm honestly about the misfire codes... You might wanna try your local import tuner and see what he says. I'm not sure how much of a handle GM has on the Cavalier JP style. hopefully someone will give you better advice.

The yoda cavalier is the same thing as a Z24. Only thing different is its right hand drive, alot of interior upgrades and things written in Jap. Few other exterior mods aswell. The Infamous Yoda tails and badged as a toyota. Sounds like your running extremly rich for sure. Check and see the status of your O2 sensors and you might also have a clogged injector or leaky on at that. Maybe even a bad spark plug boot. I'm not a pro on the LD9 but those are what i would check first.

yes yes.. running extremly rich.. This could be caused by a lot of things.. Ide check the simple tune-up related items first.. plugs, wires, timing, etc.. then move onto the more $$ things like your O2 sensor and coils... Im sure the problem will be one of those things..

If what Classicrocjunkie was saying is true, than its got a cavy motor in it.. (dont know nuthin about them) but I do know toyotas'..
