You'll likely need to:
* Consult a repair manual: A Chilton's or Haynes manual specific to your 2001 Chevy Cavalier will have diagrams showing the exact location. This is the most reliable method.
* Look online: Search for "2001 Chevy Cavalier PCV valve location" along with your specific engine size (2.2L or 2.4L) on YouTube or automotive forums. Pictures or videos can be very helpful.
Important Note: Don't just assume you've found it based on a general description. Use a repair manual or visual aids to confirm you're looking at the correct part before attempting any repairs or replacement.
