Chevy Cavelier Won't Start

01/26/2013 6:49 AM

My 2000 Chevy Cavalier won't start. After checking engine, I noticed I have lost my 710 cap. Could this be the problem, does anyone know where to get one?

Sorry, I am bored, just had my knee drained and they injected me with a steroid and gave me oral steroids, would appear that insomnia is the side effect I get from steroids, been up for 48hours. But you get G.A. from my boredom.

I heard that prolonged insomnia, combined with Cavalier threads, will drive a person stark raving mad.

The solution, then, is to obtain a new 710 cap.

Beat the cr4p out of someone and then blame it on a temporary chemical imbalance you developed while sniffing the fumes that came out of your cars 710 hole.

Stuff a sock in the 710 hole and duct tape over it.

Let's see if the Doorman has any hints.
