When do you need to change a timing chain on an 2001 Saturn 2001?
If it is a mechanical chain, then NEVER!!! It is part of the Engine.
If it is a SOFT CAM BELT, then at the recommended mileages; usually about 30,000 - 50,000 miles, depending on engine and manufacturer.
If a soft cam belt snaps/breaks, then it will wreck the engine. So if you are in any doubt about its last change, then change the soft cam belt, and note the mileage(s).

What causes sputtering in a Saturn when hitting the gas?
Sputtering in a Saturn when hitting the gas could be caused by issues with the fuel system, such as a clogged fuel filter or fuel injectors, a malfunctioning spark plug, or a problem with the ignition system. It could also be due to a vacuum leak or an issue with the air intake system. It's best to have the car inspected by a mechanic to diagnose and fix the underlying issue.

Who asked Do you have a change for a hern in a 1950's television series?
I don't know about the show, but I had the album! it was a screenwriter named Sheldon Allman, who had a record called, I think, "Folk Songs for the 21st Century," that had the song "Do you have change for a hern/I beg you do not spurn/It may sound very funny/I just have martian money..." etc.
It was an album of offkey (not offcolor) songs with a science fiction theme. It was a classic, just sorry I gave it away somewhere along the way.
My recollection is that is was a short-lived sketch series by Red Skelton. I think he raised the question one week and brought a detailed poster the following week showing a whole new monetary system based on the hern.
No, no, no - - it was Milton Berle, who used the phrase as a running gag.
How do you remove the window crank from a 1996 Saturn SE?
A lot of older window cranks are held in with a clip which is difficult to get out unless you buy a special tool sold at auto parts stores made just for this application. If you ask at the parts store they will know just what you're talking about. The tool is pretty cheap in price from what I remember.
How do you change the starter on a 93 Saturn SC2 And where is it located?
In my experience with your hand anda few craftsman sockets and lowring the engine (there is no space for a tool to remove it so losen the engine mounts and transmounts takes about 3 to 6 hours to remove&instal plus a can of beer for me and your famiy (babies tooo)
I recently replaced the entire motor on an SL2 97 and the starter wasn't really a big deal.
It is behind the engine so you will need to first disconnect the positive battery cable.
Raise the vehicle.
The area you will be working in will be a bit tight but workable.
I found that removing the mounting bolts, lowering it gave me easier access to removing the wiring from it.
Reverse for installation.
#2 is an improvement over the first, but here's some additional info:
Two bolts. One is almost inaccessible. I used a 13mm deep well socket and a couple of different length extensions (one 4" and one 2") to reach the two different bolts and remove them.
While it helps to get as much room under the car as possible (I was only able to achieve a little under a foot working height with the ramps and jackstands I had), I also used a socket wrench (Stanley part #89-962--http://tinyurl.com/3587et) that allowed me to _twist_ the handle in addition to using a normal ratcheting action. Without it, I seriously doubt I would have removed the old starter and installed a new one in the time I did, since the working area is very, very constricted.
In addition to the two bolts, there are also the two nuts (referred to in answer 2) attaching the electrical leads. Frankly, I found them to be little trouble to remove before removing the mounting bolts, and my Mitchell's and Haynes books suggest removing them first to acoid damaging them.
Quick tip: working under the car in constricted spaces, keep track of nuts and bolts by attaching a STRONG magnet to the oil pan. Simply drop the nuts, bolts, sockets (and even extensions!) UP *heh* onto the magnet for handy retrieval later.
Still, if you are able to rent bay space and use a lift, the removal/installation would be much easier. Still constricted (and the Stanley tool or its equivalent still HIGHLY recommended!), but standing to work would make this a much, much easier task.
Where is the backup light switch in a 1996 Saturn sl2?
The Chilton for the 1999 Saturn lists it on top of the Transaxle. Since this book also covers repair for the older SC1 models, it should be in the same place.

Where is the radio fuse located in the fuse box of a 1992 Saturn SL 2?
Hey just had the same problem in my 92 SC2. The radio fuse box is to the left of where the passengers feet would be. The thing is on mine (not sure if its the same with them all) the fuse was labeled "chime" instead of the actual radio fuse. Might want to get a fuse tester and check them all.
Actually there is a Radio fuse, in the inside fuse box, however as mentioned above, usuallky it is the "chime" fuse which will blow.
Where is the turn signals' relay located on the 94 Saturn SL2?
In the fuse pannel. You will have two of them in there and one is for your emergancy flashers the other is for your turn signals.
Why would my car stall and won't start?
check for fuel pressure, should be around 50 psi. try getting someone to bang on the bottom of the gas tank while cranking, might get it going to determine if its the pump
How do you replace the EGR on a 2000 Maxima?

Which wires go where on a 99 Saturn starter?
Depending on the vehichle, you may only have one wire going to the starter, which would be the positive wire from the battery. In addition to this wire, many vehicles have a wire or pair of wires going to the solenoid housing on the starter. The positive wire is a very thick, heavy wire, which usually will have a loop terminal at the end, which fits over a post on the starter, which has a nut that threads down to secure the positive wire.
Often wire lengths will give you a hint as to where they should be connected, and wires frequently are bent to fit the connections. Be careful if you are guessing on where the solenoid wires connect, because a mistake could fry the solenoid.
In AdditionMany vehicles may have an additional, fairly heavy wire that runs to the same post as the battery. This wire makes its way to the alternator and is the location of the charging system fuseable link.
