Check for trouble codes with a scan tool. I worked on a Saturn that had corrosion on the coolant temperature sensor connector which caused the computer to see too low of temperature and it added excessive fuel to the mix. The car barely ran, hads lots of smoke, the gauge on the dash was erratic and a coolant temperature sensor code was stored in the PCM.

Why is my 1999 Saturn smoking white smoke from exhaust?

When an exhaust pipe is cool, the exhaust will start to allow water vapor to condense. If the exhaust is white you're seeing a vapor cloud; it's normal and unavoidable. Once the engine and exhaust are warm, the vapor cloud should stop.


Is a 1994 Saturn starter compatible with a 1995 Saturn car?

what you have to determine is if the engine is a DOHC (SC2, SL2, SW2) or SOHC (SC1, SL1, SW1) engine. they should be interchangable given the engine is the same. Doesnt have to even be the same, single or dual have basically the same lower ends so you can swap any 1.9 Saturn starters.

Where is o2 sensor bank 1 for 2002 Saturn s-series located?

Although the control computers are designed specifically for your vehicle, some of the coding inside is more general in nature. A 4 cylinder Saturn only has 1 "bank" of cylinders as opposed to a V6 engine, which has a left and right bank of cylinders. That said: the primary oxygen sensor for a 4 cylinder Saturn is near the base of the exhaust manifold and the connection to the exhaust headpipe. The oxygen sensor is the only thing with an electrical connection that screws into the exhaust manifold in that area.
