How do you tell if it is the inner or outer tie rod?
Jack up the front end and place your hands at the 9 & 3 positions on one of the tires. Now push hard with your 9 hand and then push hard with your three hand. Watch, or have someone else watch, the tierods as you do this. You'll see sloppy movement in the bad one.
How do you remove the wiper blade arm on Saturn SL2 1998?
You're gonna kick yourself when you see how easy this is. At the very base of the wiper arm, lower than the last joint,the piece you see is just a spring loaded cover. Put your bare thumb under the very back end of the wiper arm cover and pry up, it's not even stiff so if you are exerting much force you are at the wrong place. Once again slide your hand down the wiper arm until you run out of a place to slide to,put your thumb under what's left and pry up gently to expose a nut. Remove the nut, then wiggle the wiper gently back and forth while pulling up gently. To re-install reverse the order. Good luck and your welcome! Huggybear 3811

How do you remove an engine on a 94 Saturn sl2 DOHC?
Disconnect and remove the battery, air cleaner and remove as much peripheral hardware as you can. Disconnect the exhaust manifold from the headpipe. Disconnect fuel lines, electrical connections (tag all electrical wiring to make certain that you can put them back where they belong) and the hydraulic power steering lines. Remove the bell housing dust cover (between the engine and transaxle) and disconnect the torque converter from the flex plate. disconnect the motor mounts while supporting the engine with an engine lift. FINALLY, disconnect the engine from the bell housing by removing the bolts that hold the two together.
CAREFULLY lift the engine while watching to make certain that you haven't missed something.
It all sounds a lot easier than it really is.
If you haven't done this before it's often good to invite an experienced mechanic to help you.
What is a code 19 signal fault on a 1992 Saturn twin cam?
6X Signal Fault The 6X output signal is a five volt square wave that is initially high. The signal switches low at each of the six. 60 degrees crankshaft position (CKP) sensor pulses. The 6X signal is used by the PCM for greater rpm resolution and in determining KS circuit (system) (knock retard) windowing. Diagnostic Trouble Code parameters: DTC 19 will set if: Three 6X pulses do not occur between each reference pulse. A 6X pulse does not immediately follow a reference pulse.

Saturn sky red line engine problems?
Please be more specific regarding the "problems".
If the engine knocks at red line, you probably have a worn bearing or piston slap.
If the engine won't REACH red line, you may not have sufficient fuel/air mixture reaching the cylinders to allow the engine to run that fast.
Understand that "red line" is a MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED RPM of a specific engine. The engineers have calculated the mass and strength of internal parts and determined that the engine should not be allowed to operate at RPM's ABOVE the red line on the tach.
It doesn't necessarily mean that the engine should be operated at that speed.
Can you mix red and green coolants?

How do you replace the Stereo on a 2002 Saturn SL2?
Remove the front trim. The front dash is connected to this as one. You then can remove the sterio.
Note that the portion of the dash that covers the stereo extends over the HVAC controls and up around the instrument cluster. It is held in by 4 "snap clips" that can be disengaged simply by pulling away from the dash. However, two other parts need to be removed.
First, remove the shell that covers the steering column. This it done by removing the two recessed screws from underneath.
Be careful there are five screws under there, two are for the upper cover three are for the bottom half. They all use a 7/32 socket.
Second, the vent to the left of the steering wheel needs to be pulled out toward the driver's door. It should snap loose. It does not need to be completely removed; only pulled out enough such that the tabs clear the panel you are trying to remove.
Now you can pull the panel off. It is held in by 4 clips. One is above the stereo. two are below HVAC controls on either side. The last is on the left side of the steering wheel. Pull the panel toward you and it should snap loose.
Where is the starter on a 1993 Saturn Sl2?
Rear of the engine on the passenger side. Best accessed from underneath. Use Jackstands! Copy and paste this link for instructions. http://www.autozone.com/servlet/UiBroker?ForwardPage=/az/cds/en_us/0900823d/80/19/99/7c/0900823d8019997c.jsp Wish I knew how to just add the link.
Check to make sure the aux cooling fans are running. The motor could be faulty. I have a 92 SL2 that did the same thing. Assuming that the engine is similar...what happened to mine was that the coolant temp sensor was bad. Of course it stayed cool while highway...but when in city...it did not signal fan to come on...with the obvious overheating. I replaced it..and that fixed the prob.

Cast blocks usually can't be welded. Even if you get someone to do it no one is gonna warranty the work. There is just too much vibration and it will usually just crack the welds apart after a while. Good luck.
