When the smoke occurs helps give the answer. If you get it all the time, that usually means worn piston rings. That costs a lot to fix, but as long as you keep oil in your engine (tot the proper dipstick level), you can delay the repair for a while. Smoke that only occurs when you're decellerating means bad valve seals. That costs less to fix than rings, and can be delayed in th e same way. Hope this helps! Paul

How many O2 sensors does a 1997 Saturn Sl1 have and where are they located?

The Oxygen sensor that typically on MOST vehicles is the one closest to the heat of the exhaust. Since the SL1 is a 4 cylinder engine with a single exhaust manifold, check (or replace) the FRONT oxygen sensor, which is in the exhaust manifold, just above the "headpipe". It looks a little like a sparkplug, and should be the only thing in the exhaust manifold that has a wire connected.
