What is the firing order for a 1995 Saturn SW2?
4-1-2-3 when looking at the coil pack assy on the engine from the front.
The damper is either disconnected or broke. I have heard of the broken damper problem before.
Where is the lighter fuse located in a 92 Saturn?
The fuse is located under the radio in the right side there is a panel ( by the passengers feet) Pull off that panel the fuse is in that "block" you see The fuse identification is printed on the inside of the panel
When do you change timing belt on a Saturn sl2?
You don't. In its time, one of the competitive advantages of the Saturn S-Series was that it doesn't have a timing belt. It has a timing chain. It can last several hundred thousand miles, provided:
* you CHANGE the oil every 3000 miles (you can go up to 4000 miles if you use a QUALITY synthetic oil
* you CHECK the oil EVERY time you buy gas. These engines burn oil, so you should keep it topped up * you use a good quality oil, and don't use any of those funky oil additives.
The good thing is, unlike a timing belt, that just snaps when its time has come, the timing chain will give you plenty of audible warning as it's reaching the end of its service life. You'll hear a lot of noise, not unlike "rod knock" noise, around the area of the timing chain.
What is the firing order for the 2002 Saturn S Series Engine 1.9 liter?
left to right (passenger side to driver) 4-1-2-3 Yes the order make a difference -RC-
Where is the 1999 Saturn SL oil filter?
Directly above the oil pan behind another car part - It is in the most awful place to put a filter - I curse Saturn for it.
Another PerspectiveJack up the passenger side wheel and put the vehicle on jack stands or otherwise stable suspending device.Remove the passenger side wheel, then remove the fiber inner fender liner. There are several pins that easily pry out to release the liner.
The oil filter is easily accessible once the liner is removed. Just make certain that you are safe and never climb under a vehicle that is not on jack stands.
What if you have wet oil on the spark plugs?
wipe it with a rag. do not start your car. and you should probably ask a professional
I had a similar problem and ended up replacing both the lines and the radiator.
Can you slow oil burning using heavier motor oil 99 SATURN?
Heavier oil will move slower and maintain higher oil pressure. The heavier oil will be slower to get past the piston rings and the valve stem seals, resulting in less oil burning.
Heavier oil is generally better for worn engines, but if the engine isn't worn, you should use the thinner grades of oil, as originally recommended.
What is the best grade of gas for 5 speed 1999 Saturn?
Saturn's run just fine on regular fuel; in fact, all fuel should be as "fresh' as possible to minimize potential problems.
The best grade for your Saturn will be partially determined by your altitude. If you live at a higher altitude, you can get by with lower octane.
How do you bleed a clutch on opel astra gtc?
Follow the clutch hydraulic line down to the bell housing. Note where the hydraulic line goes into the bell housing and if there is no bleed valve there you may need to remove a cover. Have a friend/assistant step on the clutch while you open the bleed valve. Close the valve and have the friend let up on the clutch. Do that a few times (making certain that the hydraulic fluid remains full) and you're done.
Why does the pcmb fuse keep blowing on a 1998 Saturn sl2?
You have a short somewhere. Find what the fuse is for and check/replace the wiring
Does the 97 Saturn SL2 have a radiator cap?
no, it's on the reservoir.
Yes, the radiator "system" has a pressure-release cap located on the plastic coolant fill bottle. This bottle is an active part of the cooling system, and is where you add coolant to the system
What could be the problem if the cigarette lighter in a 1995 Saturn SL1 does not work?
bad fuse, loose or disconnected wire, bad cigar lighter base. Try replacing the 20 amp fuse marked "locks" in the inside fuse panel located on the passengers side.
Where is the coolant temp sensor on a 1997 Saturn SL2 Steve is this also true for 1998 SL2?
hey there this is Steve im a Saturn mechanic in st.catharines on.anyway to answer your question the coolant temp sensor is in the head under the upper rad hose,if you want a tip make sure the connector has no signs of green corosion,and when u change the sensor inspect the sensor if it is bad than it will be discoloured or have a crack in it. make sure you get a factory sensor because they are now updated and it will be made of brass not plastic,also don't worry about the way you unplugged it,it doesn't matter what way it plugs in its only a thermistor,by the way the 97's were bad for fuel pumps.
Where is the radiator cap on a 94 Saturn sl2?
The radiator does not have a cap as most cars do. You add coolant to the reservoir bottle. The reservoir bottle may be under pressure when the engine is warm. Use caution when opening.
Where is the draining plug on the radiator on a 94 Saturn?
It will be on the very bottom of the radiator either the left or right side. If you do not see a drain plug it might not have one. If it does not have one it requires you to remove the lower radiator hose to drain the radiator.
How do you change the radiator hoses on a 1997 Saturn SC2 coupe?
Radiator hoses are quite simple to change. The Upper hose is located under the hood, It exits the right hand side of the motor as your looking at it from outside, and runs to the far right corner of the radiator. it is held on by two clamps. Remove the clamps and replace the hose. The Lower hose is located on the left side of the motor, under the air conditioning compressor. It mounts to the engine block itself, then runs to the left over to the Radiator. It is also held on by two clamps. Remove these clamps and remove the hose. Remember, Do not open the coolant system while the coolant is HOT... you can burn youself.
How do you reset the change oil soon light on a 2001 Saturn?
Open the hood of your car and locate the fuse box by the battery.
Open the box and with your key in the ignition , turn the key to "run" make sure the motor is off. And press the red oil reset button in the fuse box. hold it down for a few and that's it.

Less than 15 miles after filling up with gas car sputters and turns off is it bad gas?
When my 2002 SC2 sputters, stalls, "Service Engine" light comes on, I dump a can of injector cleaner in the tank and it runs fine and the light goes out. Can't say for sure that's your problem, but it is a small enough investment to try it out.
Good Luck.
How do you install spark plug wires in a 1994 Saturn SW2?
VERY easy! On a scale of 1-10 this has to be a 2 or 1. 1. The plug wires are located on the top of the engine. 2. Remove old plug wires ONE at a time from the spark plug and from the ignition cap. 3. When removing each wire twist it slightly to the right and to the left before pulling it off. 4. Match up the old plug wire with the new one by length. 5. Purchase "exact-fit" wires to make it easier to match up the old ones with the new ones. 6. When installing new wires use di-electric grease on both ends of the plug wire on the inside where the pluug wire contacts the plug and cap.
That's it!! YOU ARE DONE!!
How do you replace the head gasket located on a 1998 Saturn Sl2 automatic?
Procedure
Important When required, refer to the appropriate year service manuals when performing the following procedures.
Remove camshaft from cylinder head. Pressure test cooling system.
While monitoring the pressure gauge for air pressure drop, inspect all hose connections and visible joints for engine coolant leaks. Inspect the camshaft journals and surrounding areas using a bright light, to help locate hairline cracks. (Refer to illustrations for examples of area where cracks may appear.)
Important Air pressure may drop slowly, depending on the severity of the crack(s).
If a crack is detected in one or more of the areas shown, cylinder head assembly must be replaced. If no crack is detected, proceed to step 5. Remove cylinder head and gasket. Proceed to step 6 and flush engine block and cooling system before installing new cylinder head and new cylinder head gasket.
Important Engine block, radiator and heater core must be flushed before installing new cylinder head and new cylinder head gasket.
If pressure bleeds down, but no leaks or cracks are detected, remove cylinder head assembly and inspect the cylinder head gasket for damage between the oil and engine coolant passages. If cylinder head gasket is damaged, remove and discard cylinder head gasket, and proceed to step 6.
Important Engine block, radiator and heater core must be flushed before installing cylinder head and new cylinder head gasket.
If cylinder head gasket is not damaged, inspect engine blocks for cracks in the oil and engine coolant passages in the cylinder liner area. If cracks are detected, replace engine block. Leave upper radiator hose connected to the radiator. Remove and discard lower radiator hose. Open radiator drain plug. Insert a hose in the upper radiator hose and flush radiator with clean water until clean water flows from the lower radiator hose connection. Remove and discard upper radiator hose. Remove water inlet housing and thermostat and discard thermostat. Remove engine cooling system drain plug, located at the right front of the engine block below the thermostat. Remove and discard water pump. Place shop rags in the exposed cylinder bores. Using a hose, fill the exposed water jacket surrounding the cylinders with clean water until clean water comes out of the thermostat location. Remove shop rags from cylinder head bores and apply a liberal amount of 5W - 30 engine oil to the cylinder liners to help prevent corrosion.
Important Do not install thermostat at this time.
Install water inlet housing to engine. Install engine cooling system drain plug. Install new water pump. Leave inlet heater hose connected to heater core. Remove and discard outlet heater hose. Insert hose into inlet heater hose and flush with clean water until clean water comes out of heater core outlet. Remove and discard inlet heater core hose. Remove and discard coolant recovery hose. Remove coolant recovery reservoir and flush thoroughly with clean water. Install remanufactured or previously removed cylinder head and new cylinder head gasket. Install new radiator, heater and coolant recovery hoses. Change engine oil engine oil filter.
Prepare a mixture of Calgon � or equivalent (automatic dishwater detergent), and water at the rate of 59 milliliters (two ounces) (dry measure) to 3.8 Liters (1 gallon) of water. The cooling system holds approximately 7.6 liters (two gallons) of coolant.
Fill the cooling system with the mixture. Run the engine for five minutes.
Drain the cooling system. Repeat Step 29 through 32 until all oil residue is remove from system. Fill the cooling system with clean water. Let the engine run five minutes. Drain the cooling system completely. Install new engine thermostat. Install cylinder block drain plug. Close radiator drain plug.
Important The vehicle must be level when filling with coolant.
Fill the system with coolant. 1991-1996 early vehicle equipped with "Green" Saturn non-phosphate ethylene glycol-base coolant, fill the cooling system with a 50/50 mixture of new Saturn non-phosphate ethylene glycol-base coolant (P/N 21030365, 3.8 Liter [one gallon] container). 1996 interim and 1997 vehicles equipped with "Orange" Saturn DEX-COOL � extended-life engine coolant, fill the cooling system with a 50/50 mixture of new Saturn DEX-COOL � extended-life engine coolant (P/N 21031164, 3.8 Liter [one gallon] container). Start engine and check for leaks. Fill the coolant recovery reservoir to the full cold line after the engine has run for two or three minutes. Install and tighten cap.
When adding DEXCOOL, Make sure it is mixed at a 50/50 ratio with distilled water. And never add any unless it is DEXCOOL or distiled water. Adding the old green takes away boil protection and returns the coolant to 2-3 year change cycle.
