Most Toyota Cavalier distributers can be found at the recyclers

the ignition module and bits are under a cover on the top middle of engine. This is a truly horrible arrangement. This is well known for faults i.e. cutting out on 1 or more pots. Good luck !

If you're not capable of finding a basic item such as a distributor in an engine bay, I don't hold much hope of you fixing the problem once you do find the distributor. What makes you think the distributor is at fault anyway! There are a large number of things that can stop an engine working. and ALL of those are highly likely because it's a Cavalier.
elect70 has good advice, just make sure there is only a litre or two of petrol in there. the more room for petrol fumes the better :D

There is a reason 1996-98 models are worth $1500

dont talk about water pumps and a cavalier! i got a wof at vtnz. it failed as i (dont know how) lost the fuel cap :o but anyway I went looking round town.went to 3 wreckers and they had nothing. went to Toyota they told me to go to Holden, went to Holden and they told me to go to Toyota GERRR! walked out of Holden to find water leaking out.the pump had gone. so I limped it home only to find when i tried to find what had blown that the right frond CV boot was ripped to threads! since when does a CV boot do that unless it gets pinched in or if it is perished and normally they will not pass the wof if they are perished. VTNZ never again! about $700 to fix the lot

not to mention the fuel pump has gone. only problem is that i have bought a new 1 only now to see that it was for a toyota cavalier 1999 not a 98 like mine. I have tried looking around to see if they are the same but do not know. does anyone know if they are the same!

Now to answer the question. Like most moden cars they run a crank and cam sensor so there is no dizzy on the engine

I don't get this Toyota Cavalier thing - was told they were Japanese imports from the States with just a Toyota badge, as some kind of trade deal with GM. If that's the case, why did GM not supply the far superior Vauxhall Cavalier or Opal Vectra! I had a Vauxhall Cavalier in mid-nineties, would be around 8 years old with a lot of miles on the clock. It never broke down or fell apart and was a good cheap car to run.
