Two problems related to fuel injector have been reported for the 1996 Chevrolet Cavalier. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Fuel injectors get cracks and leak, could result in a fire if not changed. I have had all 4 injectors leak, and 2 had hairline cracks allowing large amounts of gas to leak onto hot engine which could easily start a fire.
Consumer can smell fumes in car after engine has been shut off for a short time. Mechanic stated that gas was dripping on intake manifold. May cause a fire. Fuel injector number 4 has a hair line crack externally, this allows fuel under pressure to leak out of injector onto intake manifold, after engine is shut off for a short time, fuel can be smelled in and about the car due to fuel leakage out of the injector.
