hello, depending, on what year your car is,it could bend the valves! or sometimes you could get lucky.
Most likely your car wont start.
With some engines, catastrophic damage can occur to engine if the timing belt breaks.
Chances are it will not. What will damage the engine is that truck that runs over your car when the engine fails as you try to drive in front of it. Don't take the chance. Change the timing belt.
Yes every car has a timing belt or chain.The 2003 Cavalier has a timing belt
Idling problems, go to repair shop Could be: Timing chain Timing belt Injectors Distributor issues
You can find out if a car has a timing belt or chain at www.timingchainorbelt.com web site.
a timing chain last longer than a timing belt... a lot longer.
I don't know the cost as that depends on where you live, but may I give you some advice. As the water pump is driven by the timing belt, if this car has over 100,000 miles on it, replace the timing belt at the same time as the belt. This will save you money down the road when the pump fails. The belt should be replaced every 60,000 miles.
This car will use a timing belt.
