The 1994 Chevrolet Cavalier has a compression ratio of 9.5:1. This means that for every stroke of the piston, the fuel is compressed 9.5 times before it is ignited. This high compression ratio helps the Cavalier achieve more power and fuel efficiency.
Spark timing
The spark timing for the 1994 Chevrolet Cavalier is set at 10 degrees before top dead center (BTDC). This means that the spark plug fires 10 degrees before the piston reaches the top of its travel. This ensures that the fuel has time to ignite before the piston starts moving down the cylinder.
Fuel injection
The 1994 Chevrolet Cavalier uses a multi-port fuel injection system. This system injects fuel directly into the cylinders, rather than using a carburetor. This provides more precise fuel control and helps the Cavalier achieve better performance and fuel efficiency.
Oxygen sensor
The 1994 Chevrolet Cavalier has an oxygen sensor located in the exhaust system. This sensor monitors the amount of oxygen in the exhaust gas and sends a signal to the engine computer. The engine computer then uses this signal to adjust the fuel mixture to ensure that the engine is burning the correct amount of fuel.
These are just a few of the key factors that affect the performance of a 1994 Chevrolet Cavalier. By understanding these factors, you can better understand how your car works and how to keep it running smoothly.
