Have a 2.2 liter engine in a 96 cavalier. Engine running rough, seems to be lacking power sometimes. Checked all the plugs, cleaned and regapped. all plug were burning good. Sounds like it's out of time, have a timing light, what is the procedure for checking timing, what is supposed to be, and how do you adjust ??
Could be eather be vacumm or timming a little off.

Sounds like there is a blown piston, to be sure have a compression test done on that #2 cylinder, if the reading is low, then you'll know.
A friend of mine had a 95 that did simular things only a little more,
it started smoking, dash lights flickered, etc. Finally, he had to get rid of it, the piston rod went through the engine block.

fuel lines inside the intake plhenum may be cracked and leaking inside the plhenum. same thing happened to my 1992.sonoma. they are made of a plastic material and tend to crack right in the bend of these lines.

the proper method is to remove the steering knuckle and press the new bearing out and in, it probably also throw the i alignment out, so a shop is a good idea
