Does anyone know where I can get a pic of how the belt goes on a 96` Cavalier?

Question

I also need a schematic of where the wires go from the voltage regulator on a 2.2L

Answer 1

There should be a belt diagram on the frame just above the radiator or on the hood. if not try this addressttp://files.automotiveforums.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=/500/1724872200.JPG for the pic and this is the explanation
Brown circle- Power steering
Blue circle- Idler pully
Purple circle- Alternator pully
Green circle- A/C if applicable
Yellow circle- Water Pump pully
Pink circle- Crankshaft Pully

and finally...

Red Arrow points to your tensioner.. get a socket wrench w/o socket and place square end into hole or knotch w/e you want to call it and push down to release pressure, and short breaker bar may also be needed to get you more leverage... if you cannot figure out the tensior from this then you need to consult a mechanic or have a buddy lend you a hand. I would be more than willin to help anyone out in CNY.....other printed on the top of your hood is a diagram on how to re weave the belt on the pullys and on the back of some of the new belt boxes..

Note:
Now on the older 2.2l and 2.0 engines the tensioner is the idler pully, GM found out later down the line that it was best to just add a tensioner instead of using the idler... I don't have an exact year of when they changed becuase i have changed them on 96 with the tensioner and i've been gettin some feed back that 97's haven't so... if you the tensioner above use that and not the idler and if no tensioner use the blue circle... idler pully...Note

Answer 2

if you don' find the routing diagram under the hood then it is in the parts catalog where you buy the belt and they can show you if they choose to

Answer 3

www.autozone.com It should also be somewhere under the hood.
