How do you remove timing cover on 93 Saturn 1.9?

The timing chain cover on you 4 cylinder Saturn is ALSO the oil pump, so it's a significant part of the engine.To remove the cover/pump:Jack up the front of the vehicle and put it on jack stands or other safe supports. Never climb under a vehicle that is not safely supported and never trust a jack.Remove the right side (passenger side) tire.Remove the mud shield to expose the pulley end of the engine.Remove the serpentine belt.Remove the dampener pulley (that's the pulley that drives the serpentine belt)Remove any peripherals that interfere with removing the cover.Support the engine then remove the upper passenger side engine mount.Remove the camshaft cover.NOW you can finally get to the timing chain cover.Note that the Saturn 4 cylinder engines (1.9 either the single cam or dual cam) used an oil bath timing chain rather than a timing belt, and generally, if the engine has been properly maintained, there is no need to replace the timing chain until it's time to rebuild the engine.


What is the difference between the single wire and 2 wire coolant temperature sensors on a 1996 Saturn?

In most cases the single wire sensor runs a temp gauge or temp light. The double wire sensor feeds info to the vehicle's computer and operates relays for the cooling fans. This may or may not be the case for your Saturn.

The Saturn 4 cylinder engines were available in 2 styles, the single overhead cam and the dual overhead cam.

The SL series came equiped with either a single overhead cam or a dual overhead cam engine. If yours has the single overhead cam, it's the SL1. If yours has the dual overhead cam, it's the SL2. Open the hood, look at the engine and see what's on the rocker cover; if it says DOHC or "Twin Cam", you are the proud owner of a SL2.
