To be certain, you should:
* Consult your vehicle's repair manual: This will have a diagram showing the exact location of all sensors.
* Look closely at the cylinder head: Examine the area around the thermostat housing; the sending unit will be a relatively small component with a single or dual wire connector.
* Use a diagram specific to your year and engine code: Online parts catalogs (like AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, etc.) often have diagrams you can access using your vehicle's VIN.
Without knowing the precise year of your Cavalier, a more specific location can't be given.
