==Generation I== ===1.8=== ====L46==== The 1.8-liter pushrod engine was the first engine to power the J-body cars. Introduced with the models in 1982, the 1.8 used a two-barrel Rochester [[carburetor]] and produced {{cvt|88|hp|kW|0}} and {{cvt|100|lbft|Nm}} of torque. Since peak output came on at higher RPM, [[acceleration]] in these cars was quite sluggish, with a test 1982 Pontiac J2000 accelerating from {{cvt|0β60|mph|km/h}} in 16.3 seconds, with a [[Dragstrip|{{convert|1/4|mi|m|0}}]] time of 20.6 seconds. Applications: *1982 [[Buick Skyhawk]] *1982 [[Cadillac Cimarron]] *1982 [[Chevrolet Cavalier]] *1982 [[Oldsmobile Firenza]] *1982 [[Pontiac J2000]] ===2.0=== ====LQ5==== A stroked version of the 1.8-liter engine, displacing 2.0 liters, was introduced midway through 1982, to provide more low-end power for the J-cars. This engine replaced the 1.8-liter engine altogether and had [[throttle-body fuel injection]]. It produced {{cvt|86|hp|0}}, and {{cvt|110|lbft|Nm}}. Applications: *1983β1986 [[Buick Skyhawk]] *1983β1986 [[Cadillac Cimarron]] *1983β1986 [[Chevrolet Cavalier]] *1983β1986 [[Oldsmobile Firenza]] *1983β1985 [[Pontiac J2000|Pontiac J2000/2000/Sunbird]] ====LQ2==== This engine was similar to the '''LQ5''', except that it used a two-barrel [[carburetor]] instead of a throttle-body fuel injection system. This engine was used in the [[Chevrolet S-10]] and [[GMC S-15]] compact pickup trucks and their [[Chevrolet S-10 Blazer|Blazer]] and [[GMC Jimmy|Jimmy]] counterparts until 1985, when it was replaced by the 2.5-liter [[GM Iron Duke engine|Tech IV]] engine. This engine produced {{cvt|83|hp|kW|0}} at 4600 rpm and {{cvt|108|lbft|Nm|0}} at 2400 rpm. Applications: *1982β1985 [[Chevrolet S-10|Chevrolet S-10 and GMC S-15]] *1982β1985 [[Chevrolet S-10 Blazer|Chevrolet S-10 Blazer and GMC S-15 Jimmy]]
