Re: Cavalier Ecotec. A few questions
The noise could be coming from the alternator belt/pullies. Is the engine light not on? Dodgy cam or crank sensor would cut out at 4500rpm

Re: Fuel computer
I have a turbo computer in my ecotec Sri. Average speed and mpg aren't accurate but it still looks nicer than the ordinary clock!

Fair enough but unless you got them from pound land they shouldn't be that bad!! Even cheap pads have to be approved and fit for purpose

Does the engine rev above 45000 rpm? Err... probably not :D Two many vodka lol. Adding on an extra 0! though possibly 4,500rpm. If the car is still roadworthy and you've got a decent, quiet stretch close by, a run which takes the car beyond 4,500prm will usually reveal a duff cam sensor - the engin...

If there's plenty of meat on the pads then they shouldn't be at fault.

Everything. Engine, abs, airbag. What else do you need it to do? Think it reads live data as well as in lambda sensor etc.

Re: Handbrake adjustment
U can adjust it above the rear axle in the middle. Or you can adjust each wheel separately behind the brake disc.

Re: abs module
The search menu isn't that good. Type in abs and it brings up everything under the sun with the letters abs in it. Better than nothing though
