Removal
1Remove the air cleaner element, as
described in Chapter 1.
2Release the crankcase ventilation hose
from the plastic clip on the left-hand side of
the air cleaner body.
3Disconnect the inlet duct from the hot air
hose on the exhaust manifold (see
illustration), and lift the air cleaner body from
the carburettor.
4With the body tilted to the rear, disconnect
the crankcase ventilation hose from the stub
on the underside of the body (see
illustration).Where applicable, disconnect
the vacuum hose from the air temperature
control flap thermostat.
5Remove the seal from under the air cleaner
body.
Refitting
6Check the hot air hose for condition, and
renew it if necessary.
7Fit a new air cleaner body-to-carburettor
seal.
8Connect the crankcase ventilation hose to
the stub on the underside of the body, and
connect the vacuum hose for the air
temperature control flap.
9Locate the body on the carburettor, and at
the same time locate the inlet duct on the hot
air hose on the exhaust manifold.
10Engage the crankshaft ventilation hose in
the plastic clip.
11Refit the air cleaner element, referring to
Chapter 1 if necessary.
4Air cleaner inlet air
temperature control -
description and testing
3
Description
1The air cleaner is thermostatically-
controlled, to provide air at the most suitable
temperature for combustion with minimum
exhaust emission levels.
2The optimum air temperature is achieved
by drawing in cold air from an inlet at the front
of the vehicle, and blending it with hot airdrawn from a shroud on the exhaust manifold.
The proportion of hot and cold air is varied by
the position of a flap valve in the air cleaner
inlet spout, which is controlled by either a
vacuum diaphragm or wax-type unit. The
vacuum diaphragm type is regulated by a heat
sensor located within the air cleaner body
(see illustration).
Testing
3To check the operation of the air
temperature control, the engine must be cold.
First check the position of the flap valve. On
the vacuum type, remove the air cleaner cover
and check that the flap is open to admit only
cold air from outside the car. Then start the
engine and check that the flap now moves to
admit only hot air from the exhaust manifold.
On the wax type, the flap should already be
positioned to admit only hot air from the
exhaust manifold.
4Temporarily refit the cover on the vacuum
type.
5Run the engine until it reaches its normal
operating temperature.
6On the vacuum type, remove the air cleaner
cover and check that the flap is now
positioned to admit only cold air from outside
the car. In cold weather it should be a mixture
of hot and cold air. Refit the cover after
making the check. On the wax type, use a
mirror to check that the flap is positioned in
the same way as given for the vacuum type.
7If the flap does not function correctly, the
air cleaner casing must be renewed. Note that
the vacuum type thermostat can be renewed
separately if necessary.
5Fuel pump - testing
2
Note: Refer to Section 2 before proceeding
1Disconnect the ignition coil LT lead.
2Place a clean piece of rag under the pump
outlet, then disconnect the pump outlet hose.
Be prepared for fuel spillage, and take
adequate fire precautions.
3Have an assistant crank the engine on the
starter. Well-defined spurts of fuel must be
ejected from the pump outlet - if not, the
pump is probably faulty (or the tank is empty).
Dispose of the fuel-soaked rag safely.
4No spare parts are available for the pump,
and if faulty, the unit must be renewed.
6Fuel pump - removal and
refitting
3
Note: Refer to Section 2 before proceeding
Removal
1The fuel pump is located at the rear right-
hand end of the camshaft housing.

system components, which may result in
some fuel spillage. Before carrying out
any operation on the fuel system, refer to
the precautions given in the “Safety first!”
Section at the beginning of this manual
and follow them implicitly. Petrol is a
highly dangerous and volatile substance,
and the precautions necessary when
handling it cannot be overstressed.

adapter, “1” (see illustration),seats
correctly on the throttle valve spindle.
b)Tighten the screws carefully.
24Idle speed increase valve -
testing
2
1Certain models are fitted with an idle speed
increase valve that is attached to the side of
the carburettor.
2To test the operation of this valve first
remove the air filter and vacuum hose.
3With the valve’s plug connected, have
someone turn the ignition on (but do not start
the engine). A mechanical shifting noise
should be heard. If not replace the unit.
4After refitting replace the vacuum hose and
air filter.
25Idle cut-off solenoid (1.8 litre
models) - description and
testing
2
Note: Refer to Section 2 before proceeding
Description
1On 1.8 litre models, the carburettor is fitted
with an idle cut-off solenoid. This is an
electrically operated valve, which interrupts
the idle mixture circuit when the ignition isswitched off, thus preventing the engine from
running-on (see illustration).
2The idle cut-off solenoid is energised all the
time that the ignition is switched on. A
defective solenoid, or a break in its power
supply, will cause the engine to stall or idle
roughly, although it will run normally at speed.
Testing
3If the operation of the solenoid is suspect,
first check that battery voltage is present at
the solenoid terminal when the ignition is
switched on. Use a 12 volt test lamp or similar
test device.
4If no voltage is present, then the fault lies in
the wiring to the solenoid. If voltage is
present, the solenoid can be tested as
follows.
5With the solenoid unscrewed from the
carburettor, connect the body of the solenoid
to the negative terminal of a 12 volt battery.
When the battery positive terminal is
connected to the solenoid centre terminal,
there should be an audible click, and the
needle at the tip of the solenoid should
retract.
6A defective idle cut-off solenoid must be
renewed.
26Inlet manifold - removal and
refitting

55Airbag - general
All 1993 Cavalier models are available with
an airbag that is designed to prevent serious
chest and head injuries to the driver during an
accident. A similar bag for the front seat
passenger is also available on certain models.
Sensors in the centre of the car measure the
vehicle deceleration rate and pass these
signals to a microprocessor. This unit
analyses the sensor data and compares the
information with pre-programmed values
stored in its memory, triggering the airbag if
the deceleration is severe. The airbag is
inflated in 50 milliseconds by a gas generator
that forces the bag out of the module cover in
the centre of the steering wheel.
No repairs are possible on the airbag unit or
its associated parts. The contents of the
following Sections are confined to removal
and refitting of the airbag, purely for access to
other non-related components.
Should a fault be suspected on the airbag
unit, indicated by the warning light on the
instrument panel, or if the car has been
involved in an accident, however minor,
consult a Vauxhall dealer immediately. Do not
attempt to dismantle any of the airbag
components or carry out any work
whatsoever, other than the procedures
described in the following Sections.
On vehicles fitted with a passenger side
airbag, do notfit accessories in the airbag
zone. Items like telephones, cassette storage
boxes, additional mirrors, etc., can be ripped off
and cause serious injury, if the airbag inflates.

Warning: Before starting any
work on airbag or related
components, disconnect the
battery. Cover the battery’s
terminals and wait a minimum of 1
minutes as a precaution against
accidental firing of the airbag unit. This
period ensures that any stored energy in
the back-up capacitor is dissipated.
Handle the airbag unit with extreme care
as a precaution against personal injury,
and always hold it with the cover facing
away from the body. If in doubt
concerning any proposed work involving
the airbag unit or its control circuitry,
consult a Vauxhall dealer or other
qualified specialist.
