A belt can come off a 1997 Saturn for several reasons, including worn or damaged pulleys, a misaligned belt tensioner, or a failing alternator. Additionally, if the belt is old and has cracks or fraying, it may not grip properly. Insufficient tension due to a weak tensioner or improper installation can also lead to the belt slipping off. Regular maintenance and timely replacement of worn components can help prevent this issue.

Never. The Saturn S series vehicles used a timing chain instead of a timing belt. And the chain is inside the engine, bathed in oil to keep it lubricated. The timing chain should be replaced whenever you rebuild the engine.
