Saturn S-Series

you cannot replace the wheel bearings by themselves in a 4x4. they designed the hubs to have wheel bearings inside them. you must replace the whole hub assembly to get new wheel bearings. should run from 50-100 dollars a piece from a parts store, and about twice that at a dealer.

You need a 36mm socket and a breaker bar . Take the spline nut off the end of the cv shaft. I suggest doing this with the wheel still on the ground. Then jack the truck up. Remove the caliper and rotor, take out the three bolts holding in the hub. Be careful around the abs sensor. They are expensive. Installation is the reverse of removal. Torqe the spline nut to approx 180 ft.lbs.

You have a vacum leak. A big one. Check all your hoses. Idle should be under 1k rpms

there are two small torx bolts on the inside of the trunk that i believe will make it possible to remove the light assembly

i worked at a Saturn dealership for a year in the parts dept and the only way to close the sunroof manually is to use the gear the motor drives. i can't remember but some or the sunroofs were direct drive som using the gear may not be an option.

How many miles are on your engine?

Do you know how often the oil has been changed in the past?

you need to replace the oil filter, without it, it is unable to extract carbon, acid and moisture from the oil which turns it black

If your car burns oil, more carbon is created because oil is designed not to burn so when it does it makes soot. The oil dilutes faster

oil turning black is normal. all engines produce some blow-by around the rings, and these spent gases contain carbon, a by-product of combustion. the carbon is dissolved into the oil where it can be removed from the engine during oil changes.

I've seen this lots. On new vehicles like 2005's... no, the oil will still look brownish. On older vehicles, it comes out black, you change it, you start it, you check it... black. There is still a bit of oil left after an oil change and it will get darker and darker. If your vehicle is new... get her checked out.

Hydraulic clutch on that model is not ajustable. You either have a bad clutch slave cylinder, Or the clutch and pressure plate needs replaced.

The front axle torque specs of a 1999 Saturn is 41 ft lbs. It is the axle shaft support bracket to engine bolts.?æ

Digital Audio! :D

One has a single cam shaft. The other has two cam shafts the twin cam has more horse power 124 at 5,000 rpms i do belive where the sohc produces 110 at 5 grand

Inset into the engine block. Examine the routing of the serpentine belt and you'll see one of the pulleys that seem to drive off the BACK side of the belt. Look closely and you'll see that it's the water pump.

It means that there is a misfire on cylinder number three. The cause could be in the ignition system (coil, plugs, plug wires), or high and low fuel pressure.

6 and a halfs

The ECM is located directly behind the battery under the hood. held down by 2 10mm bolts, and has one large electrical connector held tight by a 7mm stud.

Depending on the refrigerator, it's TYPICALLY a "rotary vane" compressor, but that's not always the case.

the fuse you need to change is located in the fuse panel on the passenger side of the front console inside the cabin. It pulls off and the fuse you need to change is named "locks" down near the bottom right of the panel.

Sounds to me like you have a broken spring in the valve body You need to have a line pressure test to be sure but that is a common problem in the older cars

The horn relay is under the airbag in the steering wheel. Best to let Saturn dealer fix it.

Quoth http://www.aa1car.com/trouble-codes/page3.htm :

"THROTTLE POSITION TROUBLE SENSOR (TPS) CODES

These include P0120, P01210, P0122, P0123, P0124 P0222, P0223, P0224, P0225, P0226, P0227, P0228 & P0229, and can be set if the TPS sensor readings are too high or too low (out of range), if the signal is lost, or if the signal does not correspond to the MAP sensor's readings. The TPS sensor monitors the position of the throttle so the computer can add more fuel when the engine is accelerating or under load. The computer may also need to know when the throttle is at idle or wide open to control other functions. A bad TPS can cause driveability problems such as hesitation. The sensor's resistance changes as the throttle moves, causing the return voltage signal to vary. Look for a change in the voltage output as the throttle opens and closes. No change or skips in the output would indicate a faulty TPS sensor. Also note: the idle voltage is adjustable on some TPS sensors and must be set within specifications for accurate operation. If the voltage adjustment is not within specifications, it can adversely affect performance and throttle response."

To amplify the voltage going to the spark plug

The on-board computer senses a problem with the engine. A general fault condition is registered which keeps the cooling fan running regardless of temperature until the code can be cleared from the computer.

The general fault code means the problem is not deterministic. It happened on my 03 Vue after a slight hesitation under moderate load (going uphill with the A/C on). My mechanic replaced both fuel pumps (not cheap), and the problem was reduced but not eliminated completely.

To keep the problem from occurring too frequently:

(1) Do not buy cheap gas, (use Chevron, Shell, Mobil, 76, etc.)

(2) Do not run your tank empty

(3) Add a few gallons of 89 octane to every fill up

Mechanics charge a fee to hook up a computer and clear the code. You can do this yourself and save a few bucks by disconnecting the battery cable for a few minutes. Sometimes I need to pull the fuse (relay?) in the fuse box marked "main cooling fan".

The persistent cooling fan problem on my 03 Vue is quite intermittent - it happens to me only twice a year.

Use a Quality Filter WIX # 51348.

Also when changing the filter's make sure the old filter gasket comes off with the filter and is not stuck to the engine block.
