What causes harsh shifting in 2000 Saturn SL2?
A few things. A worn pressure plate, bad hydraulics, or bad fluid. Usually MObil 1 ATF synthetic has had good results for smoother shifts
Diagram is on the inside of the fuse box cover in the under hood fuse box. For inside the cabin, the fuse labels are in the back side of the kick panel
What is the oil capacity of a 2000 Saturn SL 1 with new oil filter?
More than likely it is 4.5 quarts with a filter change. But to make sure do this. Park the vehicle on a level surface. Drain the oil and install a new filter. Pour in 4 quarts of oil and start the engine. Let it run for 1 minute and then shut down. Wait one hour and then check the oil level. Add oil as necessary to fill it to the full mark. Keep track of how much oil you added. You now know the capacity. Caution: DO NOT OVERFILL
2000 Saturn S-Series SL1

Where is the oil filter located on a 1994 Saturn SC1?
It depends on which engine you have but look at the front of the engine and it is either in the front or rear under the p/s pump.
AnswerTry checking in the area on the passenger side of the car. On the 2002 it is above the controller arm. It can be a real mess to change the oil on these disaster cars. If you have the money take this one to an oil change station or your local mechanic. The headache and the potential drops of oil on your driveway are not worth it.
How do you add coolant to the radiator of an 1994 Saturn SL2?
It will draw it in from the overflow tank when it is needed. Fill that up to the proper line.
Should I rebuild or replace the engine on a 1999 Saturn SL2 with blown gasket?
Rebuild!!!! There is no need to replace the whole engine. The head gasket is a pretty easy fix if for a machanic. You will save a lot of money this way to. Your looking to spend between $400-$700 depending on who you have do it.
What is a single cam and a twin cam?
A single cam (SOHC) has 1 cam per cylinderhead and a twin cam(DOHC) has 2 per cylinder head. A DOHC (dual over head cam) has a higher RPM potential due to lower valvetrain mass, Int/Exh. timing can be changed, but is more expensive to produce.
How do youset the time chain on a 2002 Saturn 2.2 L series?
The 4 cylinder Saturn engines have a small hole in the camshaft sprocket(s) which can align with small holes in the head. When the crankshaft is at #1TDC, the camshafts and the crankshaft should all be properly aligned for assembly.
Why wont my car start when it is cold?
Saturns don't like the cold. Keep your battery in good condition and try to garage it.
How do you set cam timing on a SL2 dohc Saturn?
timing cannot be altered. It is done by the PCM
I think he/she meant the timing marks for the chain. No car today can have the time adjusted mechanically.
You need a book for that. Go to the library if you don't find it here. in the internet
Where is radiator cap on 94 Saturn sc2?
the ONLY access to the radiator is the overflowreservoir on the passenger side it has a big black cap and its right above the windshield washer fluid tank
2002 Saturn SL1 can last how many miles?
Well I just hit 285,000 Miles on my Saturn SL1... That's with the original Engine and Transmission. Changed the OIL every 3,000 miles and the Transmission was changed every 50,000 miles. Just put some new COOPER tires on it. Still runs like new......
The expansion valve is located under the hood, to the left of the Brake booster, mounted on the firewall. I have included a picture on my website under the Cooling folder. Please view my Bio for access to the site. I have highlited the valve in green
How do you remove the dash cover in the Saturn ION?
If it is just the center peice around the radio you want to remove.. pull hard on the air vents at the top this will pop the clips out and then just pull it out at the bottom
The dash cover is difficult to remove There are a lot of hidden screws What side or what cover do you want to remove? The passenger side has the air bag right under it BE CAREFUL
Can you replace 1997 Saturn S-Series engine with 1999 Saturn S-Series engine?
Yes, but is may require the use of the intake and exhaust manifolds from your 1997 engine. The headers to be reused will need to be milled flat by a machine shop to ensure they are flat and will seal properly. I have a 1994 SC2 running a 1998 DOHC engine from a wrecked SL2, runs like a champ, but I did have to reuse my 1994 manifolds. Good Luck
How to use a puller tool to remove pulley?
First remove any retaining bolts on the pulley, then position the tool so that the 3 ( typical ) arms are hooked behind the pulley and screw the center down to the bolt until snug. Then using a wrench turn the bolt in the center of the puller, as you do the pulley will slide out with it. It might help to spray the shaft with penetrating fluid before attaching the puller. Go slowly, too much pressure may break or bend the pulley and the puller may pop off several times before you get it right. It is important that the arms of the puller be equally spaced and centered on the pulley for correct removal. You may need to change the positioning of the arms in order to reach behind the pulley, most pullers have two sides each with near and far holes for the bolts. Pick the adjustment that best fits and leaves enough room to tighten the center bolt for removal. The center bolt must be centered on the shaft, if there is no taper or bolt hole in it use a center punch to make one so the puller stays centered, without a guide the puller will try to walk off the shaft as you turn it.
To find a fuse for the starter in the fuse box for a 2001 SL2 Saturn?
The wire from the battery to the starter does not include a fuse.
When you press breaks car shut down?
car is 94 Saturn SL2 twin camp when i press braks my car is shoting down n all my lights in the back are on when u press break n idk what 2 do ?????????? help
-------------------------------------------------
Your problem is not the temperature sensor. I had this problem with my 94 SC2 and it turned out to be a ruptured diaphragm in the brake booster. The brake booster is connected to your intake manifold and uses the vacuum from it to make pressing on the brake pedal easier. When this diaphragm tears you get an air leak that lowers your intake manifold vacuum and stalls the car. If you get your head down by the brake pedal with the car running and depress the brake pedal with your hand you will probably hear a slight hissing sound. Replacing the brake booster is kind of a pain as you have to remove the brake master cylinder and the battery and requires you to bleed the entire brake system at each wheel to get the air out of the system when you are done. You can pick up rebuilt brake boosters at most auto parts stores for less than $100.
Good Luck
The lights in the back should be on when you press the brake. That's the law and is normal operation.
You should always state you vitals when asking a question. If your car is a manual then my next question would be are you putting in the clutch pedal when you brake. The Idle Air Control valve controls idle rpms and may be fualty or dirty. Clean your throttle body thoroughly and see if you have an improvement.
While you under the hood, replace your Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor also. This sensor is VITAL to many systems of the car and being a '94 it is more than likely cracked sending false data to the PCM. Your car has two sensors, you want to replace the one with the two wire connector.
