Help with my 97 Saturn SL2. SES light comes on at speeds of 50 or higher. I've replaced both O2 sensors. The code reads 20 which is something to do with emissions. Any suggestions?

I'm not understanding the code of 20, your 1997 Saturn has an OBDII computer. you need a code reader to get engine codes. you cannot pull codes manually by shorting terminals A-B anymore. every one of your engine codes is atleast 3 digits, and should start with P. for example: a faulty oxygen sensor with no responce will show a code of P0134, or a EGR with insufficient flow will show a code of P0401.
Answer
My code book shows that an OBDII code of P0020 is a camsharft position actuator circuit bank 2. you have a sensor problem or your cam chain has stretched beyond the tensioner's ability to remove slack. I was getting camshaft position errors and had to replace the cam chain and tensioner.

Will bad oxygen sensors cause me to fail the emissions test?
Problems with the oxygen sensors are quite likely to cause emissions test problems. The car computer cannot properly adjust the air/fuel mixture to regulate the emissions.
If i replaced the catalytic converter in a 2001 Toyota solara and reset the engine how long would i need to drive to reset the sensors to pass emissions?
Varies, a couple of weeks should be enough.
How many o2 sensors does a f-150 46 ltr ford pickup have?
As far as I know there is 2 02 sensors if you look into the wheel well with the tires turned you can see them just to the back of the manifolds. They should be pointing straight up. I just replaced the o2 sensors in my 98 and there was 2. It may depend on if you have standard or CA/MA emissions. My truck has one with standard emissions. The same truck in CA or MA has two. 95 f150 5.8
1993 ford explorer has had both O2 sensors replaced and now won't start?
I can assure you that the O2 sensors will not prevent the enigne from starting, even if they are disconnected or removed. Something else is the culprit.
How often should o2 sensors be replaced?
They are replaced when they go bad.
Can you adjust air fuel mixture on Chevy 350 throttle body.What sensors would i have to change.?
No you cannot, It is controled by the computor-- Emissions sensors. What emission sensors,where would they be located?
How many oxygen sensors are on a jeep 4.0 engine?
Most 4.0L engines with federal emissions have two oxygen sensors located on the exhaust pipe before the muffler. One sensor is mounted before the catalyst (upstream) and one is mounted after the catalyst (downstream). Most 4.0L engines with California emissions have four oxygen sensors. These are mounted in the exhaust manifold area. Two are upstream and two are downstream. There is an emissions label under the hood of the vehicle that identifies the emissions type.
91 Chevy 4.3 running rich WHEN WARM UP?
If the oxygen sensors for the 1991 Chevy 4.3 is running rich when it is warmed up it is best to have the sensors replaced. Once the sensors are replaced this should resolve the issue.
What are all the emissions components on a 200 Saturn sl1?
All sensors, air pump, and EGR
How many parts are there for smog on a1995 ford escort?
There are about 7 sensors on the engine that are to reduce emissions.
What if 2003 Yukon keeps getting PO171 and PO174 codes Unlikely both or all 4 oxy sensors are bad?
Have you had your 4 oxygen sensors replaced? It turns out when they replaced my oxygen sensors, they were after market parts so the service engine light did not come and gave codes even though they were replaced.
How many oxygen sensors are in a Dodge magnum hemi v8?
It will have two or four depending on the emissions package.
