Saturn S-Series

Change your fluid and filter. A new valve body/input shaft nut may be needed. see saturnfans.com for more information

I need a sparkplug wire diagram for 2002 Saturn SL or the

firing order

Take the panel off that's inside the door, not the door panel just the little one right even with the mirror. There are then three 10 mm nuts holding it on.

After seeing how the mirror was assembled on the internet, it was obvious that I had to take off the little cover, but I didn't know what washeld it on either. It is held on by an expansion snap, so gently pry it off with your fingers and you won't break it. Then you have the access to the screws holding on the mirror. After replacing the mirror it will snap back into place.

Black smoke= rich condition(too much fuel and not enough air). Blue smoke = burning oil(engine components excessivly worn). White smoke= possible blown head gasket. Check oil to see if coolant is mixing in. Also check coolant level to see if it is loosing it. Have cylinder compression test done to verify head gasket problem. Other possibilities are a cracked cylinder head or engine block.

YESSS ! ATF Automatic tranny fluid

MTF Manual tranny fluid many different brands mtf so just pick when you feeling like you need.

All of the 4 cylinder Saturns use a timing chain. All of the 6 cylinder Saturns use a timing belt.

Depending on the shop, what they encounter inside the engine and your geographical area, I'd guess somewhere between $500 and $1,000. A shop should be able to give you a ballpark figure, but it's the unexpected that always gets you.

If they can just remove the head, mill it and put it all back together, it will be toward the low end. If the valve and guides are worn and/or stem seals are damaged, and if the water pump is failing, and if the timing chain and tensioners are worn... the price goes up.

Put the front of the vehicle on jack stands and remove both front wheels.

Disconnect the hydraulic brake line from the caliper.

Using an appropriate sized allen wrench, remove the two bolts that hold the calipers to the axle assembly. The bolts are at the top and bottom, and can be accessed from the side of the caliper that is closest to the engine.

Once the bolts are off, the caliper should slide off, but it's a tight fit, so you may need to work with it a little.

You need a 10mm socket for the caliper bolts. Not a allen wrench

it's tricky to get to but as long as you have ramps or jack stands it will be easy. once the car is off the ground high enough that you can fit underneath the engine, slide under neath and look for the starter. the starter blocks your access. remove the starter and you will see the single wire connection and the single bolt. remove the wire using a screw driver to pry the clip and undo the bolt. after that, use a pair of adjustable goose neck pliers to grab and twist the sensor and it pops out. to install do everything in reverse. grab and twist the sensor giving a little pressure to push it in place. then align and bolt down and hook the wire back, reinstall the starter and make sure it is properly mounted and you are ready to go.

yes

The light switch in question is located on the back of the transmission towards the battery. You can change it yourself, just make sure you understand the wiring and if you need help ask.

YOU don't, I know that's wrong, but there is no dip stick. Just watch for leaks, If you see none your fluid should be ok.

^^ Wrong.

Under normal circumstances, you don't have to check tranny fluid. UNLESS it's leaking. If you want to check it to be safe, run engine till it's nice n warm. Put the car in neutral, pop hood and leave the engine running - would be a good idea to set the emergency break. There will be a RED dipstick (yellow will be your oil).

Do not overfill.

you call your husband if has a matching key

my sunroof on my 2001 Z24 was also stuck. I took apart the screw drive and fixed it. Its a bit of work, but worth it! If you need instructions, molloy@engr.mun.ca I went to GM before and got estimate for a lot of money. in my 2000 cavalier the sunroof got stuck too. pull at the rubber lining around the inside of the sunroof (the one that seems like its just for looks) near the control button. then pull down on the inner roof cover and you'll see the back of the control button. there is an electrical connection there. see if it has come apart, which i was told it commonly does. mine was and i just clipped it back together and it worked perfectly.

Open the hood it pops into the backside of the lens.

I think we have the 07, and there is a fuse box on the passenger side of the dash. Open the passenger door to see a panel. Pull it hard to pop it off. The manual describes this.

You need to have your vavlve cover gasket checked! That may be the cause of oil being on your spark plugs! You need to have your vavlve cover gasket checked!

The torque converter is an integral part of the automatic transmission, and the automatic transmission is under the control of the vehicle computer. Disconnecting the torque converter sensor or in fact, any other internal transmission sensor, will result in significant performance issues, and will show up as an error in the vehicle fault codes.

Under the car along the exaust

IAC(idle air controll)

ok, when you look under the hood, follow your intake hose to the bore, you will see the throttle body, it is located right about the throttle cables, is has 2 wires runnin into it, hard to miss, for removal you have to dismantle the throttle body, and remove the nipple from the throttle body, which is 2 bolts, 10mm i think.

Yes it is returnless and the pump regulator is integrated into the fuel filter.

IF there is a block heater (Only some models had block heaters) you will see the electrical plug wound up somewhere under the hood. Follow that wire back to where the block heater goes into the block.

If your Saturn doesn't have a block heater, and you want one, there are several options.

You can purchase a block heater that replaces the engine freeze plug. That requires installation by a qualified mechanic since the old freeze plug must be removed to use that style block heater.

You can purchase an engine heater that fits inline with the coolant system. That just requires cutting a hose and splicing in the engine heater.

You can purchase an engine heater that sticks magnetically to the engine while in use. Be careful with that model since you should remove it if it's hanging down from the bottom; it could become a hazard when you're driving.

You can tow pretty much every car/truck/van/SUV in existence.... It just requires some basic things: the car being towed (and the one towing) need to have tires that can spin, the car being towed needs to have a neutral gear, and to avoid tickets/collision, you should probably have either the turn signals and brake lights connected to the car doing the towing OR auxiliary lamps to serve the same purpose.

The only hard part is the EGR valve assembly. The head on the newer Saturn is slightly different, making it necessary to find a work-around for the EGR valve.

The PCM is inside the dashboard, to the right of the glove box.
