Is a 1997 Saturn sl2 an interference engine?

Low engine coolant

I own a 1998 Saturn SL2 and it is located in the plastic fuse box under the hood on the left side of the engine compartment (drivers side).

ON my 1999 sl2 it is the transmission fluid dipstick

How do you install 2002 saturn sl2 4 cyl

if it is anything like my 97' Saturn Sl2. The engine must be dropped out to dismount the transmission.

This may help. On older vehicles, unless one used "resister" type spark plugs, one would get a lot of engine noise through the radio.

The water pump on a 1996 Saturn sl2 is located in the engine compartment. It sits below the AC compressor.

with a hammer and sickle

Yes it will.

12.0 gallons

what is the engine diagnostic trouble code # 32

On the bottom right of the engine.

a 1999 has a 1.9l Dohc

It would, if you changed out the trans and the ecm/tcm. The SL2 SC2 transmissions have a different higher reving gear ratio.

No such thing as a timing chain belt. It is either a belt or chain. Replace the belt according to the schedule in your owner's manual. If it breaks and your engine is an interference engine, you will 95% of the time have damage. You will know the extent of the damage when the engine is torn down. The 1992 SL2 has a timing chain. Mine has 240,000 miles on it and is still running…

This is in the owners manual. Get one from MOTORLIT.COM.

Rear of the engine next to the firewall

Yes, this is a fuel injected engine.

chec all fluids my have engine light reseted

Follow the top radiator hose to the engine, what that mounts to is the thermostat housing, remove this and there is your thermostat. * ** *** **** ***** Actually, on my 1997 SL2, the thermostat is on the bottom radiator hose. I would check the "Saturn Thermostat Pictures" link below, which also has installation and removal instructions.

my 1995 Saturn sl2 has a factory alarm, my daughters 1997 sc1 also has one

This proceedure is covered in the chiltons Saturn book available at auto zone and ect.

I just replaced the radiator in my 97 SL2 today. What exactly are you asking? Step by step instructions?

1993 Saturn sl2

Pretty sure it is the passenger side that is longer.

Replacing a skin is not a job for an amateur.

Start by replacing the Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor

97 SL2 does not have a change oil light. Only the red oil indicator which means you have a serious problem

Yes, but is may require the use of the intake and exhaust manifolds from your 1997 engine. The headers to be reused will need to be milled flat by a machine shop to ensure they are flat and will seal properly. I have a 1994 SC2 running a 1998 DOHC engine from a wrecked SL2, runs like a champ, but I did have to reuse my 1994 manifolds. Good Luck

there's screws that you take out then just pop out the clips

1.5 lbs or 0.68kg total charge for the R13a refrigerant

The cost to replace the motor mounts on a 2000 Saturn SL2 ranges from $500 to $1,000. The high costs are due to the labor intensive process of disconnecting and raising the engine assembly.

If you are mechanically inclined it is cheaper to replace the entire engine

On the engine block, directly in front of the driver. You need to get to it from underneath.

My son's 1999 Salvaged/total Saturn SL1 was rebuilt using many engine and body parts from 1995-1999 Saturn SL1 and SL2 cars, I believe it will work fine. I do not recommend before 1995 or 2000 or later models. I do not recommend SL2 either. I am not the expert but most of my son's engine is not 1999 SL1. Good luck!

do a 99 Saturn sl2 have a transmission pan gasket

Connect an engine diagnostic scanner to find out what is wrong.

I have been told that the 1997 SL2 has no clutch adjustment. It is self adjusting until it can't adjust further, then it needs replacing. This info comes from a trusted mechanic.

89 inch lbs. or 7.44 ft. lbs of torque

One kind of spark plugs that is recommended for a 1999 Saturn SL2 manual with a 1.9 twin cam engine are ones made by Bosch. Another good brand would be ones made by NGK.

A Saturn SL -- and every S-series Saturn -- has a 1.9 liter 4 cylinder engine. The SC2, SL2, and SW2 have a DOHC (dual overhead cam) engine; the SC1, SL, SL1, and SW1 have a SOHC (single overhead cam) engine.

I would think they would. SL1 vs SL2 I thought was SOHC vs DOHC for an engine.

1.9L SOHC in the SL1, The SL2 has a 1.9L DOHC. I Get 38mpg from mine.

starter is located on the firewall side of the engine. Access is easiest from underneath the car

hi my name is rob i have had 3 of the saturns sl1 and sl2 the temp sencor is the problem it is near the air intake it is small round and long hope this helps

google is a friend ...he'll be able to give you a full engine layout with a drawing and more

The Saturn SL2 was produced from the years 1990 to 2002 in the United States. The best way to tell if the fusible link in a 1999 Saturn SL2 is fried is that there will be no 12v.

on the back of the engine . above the starter 10 mm bolt holds it in.
