2002 Saturn Sl - Page 7 Questions & Answers
The engine is idling up and down on its own
Sounds like the idle air control valve may be clogged. It's usually in the throttle body. Just remove check and clean. That's the cheap route. the other option may be a MAP sensor if that model has one. Check with auto parts stores for the price.
What is the part number to the bushing on the
Take a look on ebay for a saturn shifter repair kit. this was a common problem on S series manuals
from 91-99. There were significant changes in S series after 99 but the shifter cables may be the same. the kit is less than 20 bucks and is less difficult than taking the console out.
I just purchased a 2001
The Service Engine Soon light has illuminated because the computer has detected a problem with a sensor, actuator, or a system that it monitors. There are literally hundreds of codes and thousands of possibilities.
The first step is to have the computer scanned to see what codes are present. Once you know what codes are present you'll have a much better idea of what is wrong and what needs to be repaired.
Post the codes here and I'll be happy to help you further if I can. I’m happy to assist further over the phone at

I have a SC1 Saturn - the service engine soon
sounds like it could be a bad ignition module
this is what supplies spark to the spark plugs-it is very common on the s series saturns-the bolts that mount it through time stretch out and moisture gathers underneath the module which in turn causes corrosion-then starts to restrict proper spark to the plugs-if the code pulled is a cylinder misfire code(p0300,p0301,p0302,p0303,p0304)i would suggest replacing the module,plugs,wires, and the mounting bolts.
many have tried replacing just coils and usually ends up coming back or not solving problem at all.
How do you take off the rear drum brake of a 2002
You can rent a contraption called a drum puller at any tool rental place. Make sure you liberally spray some type of nonflamable anti-corrosive agent around the stud holes and smack it a few times with a hammer as you pull it off. There are self adjusters for the shoes inside the drum which usually push the shoes so far out that they hang up the drum. If there is any way to get a flat bladed tool through the backing plate and back off the adjusters it would help. Used to be a small oval opening for that purpose, suppose that is gone these days.
Transmission shifting very hard
Unfortunatly my transmission does the same thing. I had it repaired for about $800 only to have the same thinig happen again about 4 months down the road. It seems that there are alot of horror stories about these saturn transmissions. My trans has been slamming for about 3 years now and it still works...per say. Id say either replace it or just drive it until it breaks.

2001 saturn sl1, was stalling,
you need to contact all the GM dealers in your area and see if any of them have the ability to do off board programming. (That is where they have equipment that will connect to your computer and program it. It may have to be a Saturn dealer. I wish I could be of more help.
For 2 days now, my 2002 Saturn SL2 door locks have
It sounds like your Power Door Lock Relay is working intermintently. Bypass the relay and test the Power Door Locks with a jumper wire direct from the battery, if they work with no hesitation then it is a bad relay.
I have a 2002 saturn
Check to make sure there is enough tension on the belt. Belt tensioners are pretty common on these to fail. If there seems to be enough tension try taking off the belt and putting it back on so it rotates the other way. If the noise stops replace the belt. Flipping it just helped you confirm it was the belt and not something else. I’m happy to assist further over the phone at

My saturn had a light
look in your manual, it is in the glove box. the coolant in your reservoir is low, meaning the cooling system may be in jeopardy.
Im trying to replace my
here is the trick. Use a long screwdriver to pry between 2 of the bolts to hold the pulley while you loosen another bolt with a box-end wrench. Only loosen the bolt--do not remove it, so that it can be used as leverage to loosen the rest of the bolts. Do this for each bolt until they are all loose. OK?
The door lock are making
the problem is the power lock switch on the door is broken take out the swith and unplug it from the door lock then replace it with a new one or f rom junkyard
How much is it for the right front baron to get
Suspension parts are replaced in tandem, so you do both sides for safety. Look on ebay for new bearing units, i believe on the 2002 Saturn they are bolt in units. Have a repair shop, not a dealer, put them in for you, this takes some tools you most likely do not have. Should take less than half a day, however if the bearings are shot you may have tie rod ends, and lower control arm/ball joint wear as well. It is bearings, not barons.
