When do you replace a timing chain on a 2002 Saturn SL2?
A timing chain typically doesn't need to be replaced until you tear down the engine for a rebuild.
Unlike a timing belt, which is operated dry, the timing belt is in an oil bath and will last much longer.
If your engine needs a valve job, rings, oil pump or any other components that require a "tear-down", that would be the right time to replace the timing chain, sprockets and chain tensioning rails.
How do you replace freon in AC System for 2000 SL1 Saturn?
First, never add refrigerant if the system isn't truly low. You'll need BOTH gauges (high and low) to know where the system is. A worn compressor will fail to build sufficient pressure to keep your vehicle cool.
Never add refrigerant if you don't know the condition of the system. It may not have needed refrigerant and adding too much could have shut the system down. The 2000 Saturns have a shutoff switch that prevents the compressor from operating if the pressure is too high.
There is no need to purge the system unless it has been completely evacuated and air was allowed in.
Sometimes an AC system will not work when the vehicle is not moving, especially if the radiator fan is not functioning properly or if either the radiator or condenser coil are blocked, preventing air from blowing across.
For future reference, your 2000 Saturn does no use "Freon", it uses 134-A refrigerant.
98 sc Saturn and when I put it in reverse and step on the gas you hear a loud thump why?
it could be a motor mount. the best way to check is to open the hood and put one foot on the brake and one on the gas with the car in reverse
Most likely, your air conditioning compressor is cooked or its pulley clutch has seized. Hopefully it was the pulley, because the compressor is not cheap.
How do you tighten the timing chain on a 98 Saturn sl2?
The timing chain on your Saturn is self adjusting. If it gets to the point that the self adjusting mechanism is no longer working, your engine is probably worn to the point that you need a little internal work; valves, pistons/rings, bore the cylinder, bearings...
The timing chain shouldn't stretch and the adjuster rails shouldn't wear much faster than the other components if the engine has been properly maintained.
Where are the wires for the iat sensor located on a 98 Saturn sl2?
They are located on the IAT itself which is on the throttle body
Where is the blower motor location in 2000 Saturn?

Where is the transmission filter on a Saturn car?
The filter is on the drivers side,in front of tranny. You may have access it from the bottom side. If this is an older Saturn, it is likely a red-colored filter that looks much like an oil filter.
For many vehicles, it's behind the trans oil pan.
Some vehicles have it behind a side cover.
Some just haven't got one.
Are you driving a 2005 Acura TL or an old Desoto? What color is it? Is it a stick?
Does it mean when there is a lot of oil coming from the tailpipe?
It means you need to rebuild the engine especially the rings and seals. If it is a Honda, you can get a replacement motor installed for cheap. Well worth it too. They are either JDM (Jap Domestic Market) or USDM (US Domestic Market). A rebuild will be more expensive than any replacement engine. You can always sell your old engine as a running engine in need of a rebuild due to blowing smoke or oil. It is not worth much but it is worth something, Maybe about 30% of the actual cost for your replacement engine. Red
Can a pcm be replaced with a used one in a 97 Saturn sl2?
Depends on the year, engine, and tranny type. Not all with interchange
How do you replace the digital odometer light bulb on a 2000 Saturn SL2?
You will need to remove the instrument cluster board. To do that, remove the trim piece around the instrument cluster, then carefully pull the instrument cluster out of the dashboard. Note that the instrument cluster plugs in to a socket in the dashboard, so be careful as you remove the circuit board so that you do not damage the plug.
Once the instrument cluster is out, replace all bulbs. They twist to remove, and if the odometer bulb has failed, the others are getting old too. It might be best to replace them all to avoid future problems.
How do you add refrigerant to a Saturn SC1?

What tools do you use to change an alternator on a 93 Saturn SL1?
You'll need some metric sockets. 3/8" drive will be fine. Maybe a small extension and the ratchet. Not to many tools involved.
Where is starter relay switch 2000 SATURN?
Starter relays are mounted ON the starter. They are a part of the starter and are always replaced when you install a new starter.
In general, it's recommended that you replace them as a pair anyway, since the starter solenoid (relay) and starter motor generally wear out at the same rate.

What would be the problem if you found oil in the back spark plug chamber on a 2000 Kia Sportage?
Hve you noticed any other leaks like anti freeze spilling into the passanger side foot rest. also if you bought it used if the rad mixture is chalky, someone mixed a sealant compound in to temporarily fix the leaking head gasket? if it is it could very well be a faulty head gasket, once they break oil can get into alot of places. get that checked before you get an 850$ repair job like i did. Goto mechanic asap.
Could be the valve cover gasket leaking there.
the problem is the valve cover gasket on the inside part has let go allowing oilo to leak into the spark plug tubes. Clean oput oil and replace gasket for valve cover.
Where are the fuses for the windshield wipers on a 2000 Saturn LS?
