I need a wiring diagram for the ignition circuit of a 1999 saturn sl

THE CARS VIN 8TH DIGIT TELL WHAT ENGINE IS THERE, so which one is it.? check all fuses first, as in all (cab and bay boxes) and battery must be charged and good first. and kept charged for this service and testing. no spark on just one cylinder or all ,(no engine told of 2)??????? the service manual covers all that. so starter does crank the engine fast?and robustly? not slow as slug. 1.9 L, SOHC, SINGLE CAM 1.9l DOHC TWIN CAM ENGINE 2.0l 3.0L ? V6? THEY ARE not THE SAME AT ALL , FOR EFI OR SPARK BUT Both engines run a pair of twin coil packs rule1: the 2 HV lugs on each pack both must be wired to the correct spark plug !!! or firing order is noW dead wrong and fails. called wasted spark. rule2 2nd rules is it those old 24 year old wires sets (junk) if one fails open, that makes 2 spark plugs go dead and bingo it will never start as 2 cylinder engine ever. never ever run 24 year wire sets, of fail you will !!! go NGK mag-wire sets in fact. best. rule 3: wasted spark to test spark never pull 2 HV wires on one coil pack . test HV wires 1 by 1 using clean new test spark plug. yes 2 can be tested at the same time but lets skip how now, do thme 1 at a time spark tests. do not skip any. scan the PCM yet for DTC errors, be big shame to miss out ,omg the PCM sees CMP or CKP dead. cam or crank sensors errors or coil pack errors. Id have new spark wires installed this old. 24 years. and now rule #4 wasted spark do not pull off all wires to it replacing the pack do so 1 wire off old pack on back on to the same exact lug. on new pack or , firing order is lost. for the 1.9L (wild guessing me the engine) if you get it all messes up the cure is here 4 and 1 fire same time 2 and 3 fire same time, paired. 19-undefined-undefined-0.jpg

Turns over but wont fire 99 Saturn SL

If your 1999 Saturn SL turns over but won't start, there could be a few different reasons why. Here are some possible causes:

Faulty fuel pump: The fuel pump is responsible for delivering fuel from the tank to the engine. If it's not working properly, the engine won't receive enough fuel to start. You can check if the fuel pump is working by turning the key to the "on" position and listening for a humming sound coming from the fuel tank. If you don't hear anything, the fuel pump may be faulty.

Dead battery: If the battery is dead, the engine won't have enough power to start. You can try jump-starting the car to see if that helps.

Ignition system problems: If the ignition system isn't working properly, the engine won't start. This could be caused by a faulty ignition coil, distributor, or spark plugs.

Clogged fuel filter: If the fuel filter is clogged, fuel won't be able to flow properly to the engine. This can cause the engine to stall or not start at all.

Bad crankshaft position sensor: The crankshaft position sensor tells the engine control module (ECM) when to fire the spark plugs. If it's not working properly, the engine won't start.

These are just a few possible causes of a Saturn SL that turns over but won't start. It's best to have a qualified mechanic diagnose the problem to ensure that it's fixed correctly.

2008 saturn vue random/multiple misfire

A random/multiple misfire in a 2008 Saturn Vue can be caused by a variety of issues. Some common causes of misfires include:
  1. Spark plugs or ignition coils: Worn or fouled spark plugs or faulty ignition coils can cause a misfire. These components should be checked and replaced if necessary.
  2. Fuel system: A clogged fuel injector or a problem with the fuel pump can cause a misfire. The fuel pressure should be checked and any clogged injectors should be cleaned or replaced.
  3. Vacuum leaks: Leaks in the vacuum system can cause a misfire. These leaks should be located and repaired.
  4. Exhaust system: A clogged catalytic converter or a problem with the exhaust manifold can cause a misfire. These components should be inspected and any necessary repairs should be made.
  5. Engine control module (ECM): A problem with the ECM can cause a misfire. The ECM should be checked and reprogrammed if necessary.
It's recommended to have the vehicle scanned with a diagnostic scanner to retrieve the trouble codes and determine the source of the problem. Once the codes are retrieved, it would give a better idea of what component is causing the misfire. It's always recommended that you take your vehicle to a professional mechanic to diagnose and fix the problem, as these are complex systems and require specialized knowledge and equipment to fix.

My 2003 Saturn Vue died as i was pulling up to a stop got it started again but speedometer isn't working now

If your 2003 Saturn Vue died as you were pulling up to a stop and the speedometer isn't working now, it's possible that there may be an issue with the vehicle speed sensor or the instrument cluster. The vehicle speed sensor is a small electronic device that is located on the transmission or transaxle. It sends a signal to the vehicle's computer to tell it how fast the vehicle is traveling. If the vehicle speed sensor is not working properly, the speedometer may not work correctly or at all. On the other hand, if the instrument cluster is malfunctioning, it could cause the speedometer to stop working. If the instrument cluster has a loose connection or a blown fuse, this could also cause the speedometer to stop working. It's best to have your vehicle checked by a certified mechanic who can diagnose the issue and recommend the necessary repairs. They will be able to test the vehicle speed sensor and instrument cluster to determine the root cause of the problem.

Does the engine V6, from a 2005 Saturn Vue swap into a 2005, 2006 or 2007 Vue?

According to Hollander interchange, the engines are the same from 2004 to 2007. I would change all sensors from your engine to the replacement engine just to make sure there are no issues.

05 saturn ion service vehicle message deplayed

The "service vehicle" message on a Saturn Ion typically indicates a problem with the vehicle's on-board diagnostic (OBD) system, which is responsible for monitoring various systems and components in the car. The message may be accompanied by a specific diagnostic trouble code (DTC) that can be read using a scan tool. The DTC can help a mechanic to identify the specific problem and make the necessary repairs. It's recommendable to take the vehicle to a qualified technician or mechanic to diagnose the problem and fix it.
