Where is o2 sensor bank 1 for 2002 Saturn s-series located?
Although the control computers are designed specifically for your vehicle, some of the coding inside is more general in nature. A 4 cylinder Saturn only has 1 "bank" of cylinders as opposed to a V6 engine, which has a left and right bank of cylinders.
That said: the primary oxygen sensor for a 4 cylinder Saturn is near the base of the exhaust manifold and the connection to the exhaust headpipe. The oxygen sensor is the only thing with an electrical connection that screws into the exhaust manifold in that area.
How do you replace the alternator on a 1995 Saturn SC1?
1.disconnect the negative battery cable 2.Remove the serpentine drive belt. Use a wrench on the tensioner pully to remove belt. 3.Raise and support the vehicle. 4.Remove the right front wheel. 5.Remove the right wheel splash shield. It is two parts. 6.Remove alternator dust shield. Its attached with one bolt and one clip. 7.Remove the two sets of wires from the alternator. One has a clip to connect it to the alt. and one is bolted to the alt. be very gentle with the bolted one so you will not break the plastic insulator (especially during reinstallation) 8.Remove the upper and lower attaching bolts from the alt. The top bolt is easy to get to from the top of the car, the bolt is just below the power stearing unit. 9.remove the alt. through the wheel well opening. 10.To reinstall alternator, follow these steps in reverse.
How full should the coolant overflow tank be when a 1994 Saturn sl1 is cold?
You'll have to round up a strong flashlight, a mirror, and some patience because believe it or not, the 'cold' mark line IS on that tank - somewhere....good luck! ..BB The level should be to the line in the tank. There is a line "wall" inside the tank right in the middle if you are looking in the cap hole. Fill it to the top of the "wall" and that, you will see is the full level on the outside of the jug if you get the flashlight and mirror
Why does the front driver side tire make a humming noise if it's not the bearings?
Most commonly this is a tire wear issue
Where will the part OBD2 be located for 1999 Saturn SL?
OBD2 stands for "On Board Diagnostics Revision2"
It refers to the way all auto manufacturers are supposed to implement the on board diagnostics.
To read the diagnostic codes, plug an OBD2 scanner into the port and allow it to perform it's magic.
For your Saturn, the scanner port should be located below the dashboard, next to the steering column.
What does the service engine soon light mean on a 2000 Saturn LS?
It means that anything from a malfunctioning sensor to serious engine issues But there is a quick and FREE way to find out EXACTLY what is wrong. You only need to take your vehicle to any Autozone, O'Riely autoparts, or napa, I personally would advise you to go to autozone if there is one near you, if you need a part for your car later they are the cheapest, easiest, nicest, and also lifetime warranty ;) But anyway just take your car to any of these locations and tell them you have a check engine light on and you would like them to check your cars computer which will be OBD2 standard "todays standard" and within seconds-minutes you will know exactly what is wrong with your car because the tester will read the error code that set off the light and display the problems and its all FREE ;) no strings attached, its a free service they offer, along with testing your battery and alternator. Hope this helps.
Where is the transmission fluid stick on a 1994 Saturn SL2?
I own a 1997, but I believe the location is very nearly identical. The question doesn't specify automatic or manual transmission, but I believe the location of the dipstick's the same for both: Driver's side near the firewall. The dipstick handle may even be yellow, but I'm not completely sure for that model year. Not asked for, but maybe useful: for auto-trans, to check the level and top up, if necessary: Start the car whilke parked on a level surface and allow the engine and transmission fluid to warm to normal operating temperature. Run the gearshift through all the gears ending in Park, of course. Take out the dipstickand wipe it clean, then _completely_ (make sure it "seats") reinsert into the filler tube. Take it out again and inspect the transmission fluid level on the dipstick. The fluid level should be between ADD 1 PT. or .5L mark and FULL HOT marks. Some dipsticks just have a crosshatch area. On these the level should be within the crosshatch on the dipstick. Use Dexron III transmission fluid. CAREFUL!!! DO NOT overfill the transmission. Nu-uh! Don't do it! :-) ON MANUAL TRANNIES, park on a level surface and check the fluid (taking the dipstick out, cleaning it, re-inserting it, etc.) while the car/transmission is COLD. The dipstick level should be at the FULL mark. The drain plug (if it's overfull) is below the dipstick tube. I believe you use Dexron III transmission fluid in the manual trannie, too, but check your owners manual for that. Yeh, I know: strange to use automatic transmission fluid in a manual transmission, but that's what the book I had a chance to check says. Had me scratching my head, cos it's the first time I'd seen that, but there it was. :-)
How do you replace stereo in 2000 Saturn?
Depending on wich Saturn its really easy just pop off the dash around the radio remove the screws take out your radio unplug the wires and buy a new radio w/ wiring harness and face plate.
most likely a vacuum leak.....check the pcv valve hose It may have a rip in it or be collapsed.....
Actualy, I've done nothing to it, and there's no whisling any more, but "check engine" still went on, after driving it for 15 min. ----------------------------- Get the SES Code. That will tell you specifally what is wrong. Otherwise we are guessing in the dark. With an SES code it will help in guiding you in the right direction
What is the OBD-II drive cycle for a 1999 Saturn SL2?
OBD-II Driving Cycle
If you have a 96 or newer vehicle you have the OBD-II diagnostic system. This system is constantly monitoring the sensors and solenoids on the engine. If you have replaced the battery, disconnected the battery or cleared the codes after making a repair you will need to do what is called a "Driving Cycle". This will perform a diagnostic on all the systems the computer monitors. This cycle can be done in under fifteen minutes.
To perform an OBDII Driving cycle do the following:
1. Cold Start
In order to be classified as a cold start the engine coolant temperature must be below 50ºC (122ºF) and within 6ºC (11ºF) of the ambient air temperature at startup. Do not leave the key on prior to the cold start or the heated oxygen sensor diagnostic may not run.
2. Idle
The engine must be run for two and a half minutes with the air conditioner on maximum and rear defroster on. The more electrical load you can apply the better. This will test the O2 heater, Passive Air, Purge "No Flow", Misfire and if closed loop is achieved, Fuel Trim.
3. Accelerate
Turn off the air conditioner and all the other loads and apply half throttle until 88km/hr (55mph) is reached. During this time the Misfire, Fuel Trim, and Purge Flow diagnostics will be performed.
4. Hold Steady Speed
Hold a steady speed of 88km/hr (55mph) for 3 minutes. During this time the O2 response, air Intrusive, EGR, Purge, Misfire, and Fuel Trim diagnostics will be performed.
5. Decelerate
Let off the accelerator pedal. Do not shift, touch the brake or clutch. It is important to let the vehicle coast along gradually slowing down to 32km/hr (20 mph). During this time the EGR, Purge and Fuel Trim diagnostics will be performed.
6. Accelerate
Accelerate at 3/4 throttle until 88-96 km/hr (55-60mph). This will perform the same diagnostics as in step 3.
7. Hold Steady Speed
Hold a steady speed of 88km/hr (55mph) for five minutes. During this time, in addition to the diagnostics performed in step 4, the catalyst monitor diagnostics will be performed. If the catalyst is marginal or the battery has been disconnected, it may take 5 complete driving cycles to determine the state of the catalyst.
8. Decelerate
This will perform the same diagnostics as in step 5. Again, don't press the clutch or brakes or shift gears.

Cheap horsepower for Saturn Sl?
For a cheap and efficient way to gain horsepower, would be the following:
Go on eBay and get these items:
Short ram or longer cold air intake $30-$150 depends on brand
Obx or pacesetter headers $250-$300
A 3" to 4" outlet muffler $25-$75
Obx spark plug wires $55
Then go to a local auto parts store and get these:
NGK V-power or BOSCH platinum +2 spark plugs $12-$25
Then some octane bosster $5-$15
Doing all of this will make a hugely noticably difference in your saturns performance.
I have a 2002 Saturn sl1 and it made a big difference.
Hope this helps you.
its on the top of the transmission just look and have a friend shift the gears and look for the shifter linkage its connected to the neutral safety switch just disconnect the shifter linkage and unplug the wire harness and take the screws off
The Haynes manual has a fair picture of the switch and it's location.
How do you fix a gas pedal that sticks in a 1994 Isuzu Rodeo?
I would find the accelerator cable that goes to the throttle body and look for an abnoramility. Try moving the piece that the cable is attached to by rotating it and watching what it is doing and if somthing is obstructing it from returning. Do this with the moror off. One common problem is a piece of carpet or floor mat jammed into the accelerator pedal, and another is a carbon build up in the throttle body. I'll address the latter. Access the thrttle body bore and manually move the throttle plate-again with the engine off. You'll probably find a ring of carbon underneath it on the bore and on the back of the plate. I recommend this is cleaned every 18,000 miles or so as well as cleaning the intake valves. I like to use a bottle brush and a good intake cleaner for the bore and Hydro-blast by castle or "sea-foam" for the intake valves. This is especially important on the Jeep 4.0 motors.
Where is the thermostat located on a 1995 Saturn sl1?
The thermostat on a 1995 Saturn SL1 is located on top of the motor. The largest hose coming off the radiator will have to be loosened to access the thermostat housing on the motor.
The track is stripped. Probably caused the fuse to blow. Not serviceable. Replace as a unit....very expensive....or install a manual anchor Shown in owners manual and pull that fuse back out.
Where is the starter relay for a 1998 Saturn SC2?
Thre starter "relay " is the solenoid on the top of the starter. There is no relay in the fuse block for thwe starter
i looked and cant find it there i called a parts store and they said the starter relay is differant than a soleoid
The starter relay is under the dash pad just to the right of the instrument cluster. Its a 5pin relay mounted to the dashboard wireing harness
Can't turn the key in the ignition it is locked what can you do 2002 Saturn sl2?
Try wiggling the steering wheel while trying to turn Also check if the whole signal/turn switch moves If you turn the wipers on max then wiggle up down and the whole assembly moves the ignition cylinder housing is worn and needs to be replaced. Note that the passlock/security sensor is in the housing and will need to be programmed after replace This is a very common problem especailly if you have lots of things on your key ring The weight wears out the housing
