1993 1.9 saturn sc2 starting problems

if it is a stander pull the floor mats out of the driver side and try again

Auto or manual? If its auto try puting it in neutral and try starting. If manual than try pushing the clutch all the way to the floor. There is a switch on thr pedal that when pressed it enganges the starter.

if the starter spins but does not engage flywheel. then its the starter solinoid thats bad. its on top of starter, when key is turned to start, the solinoid is activated, and it pushes the gears out to make contact with flywheel to start vehicle. so the solinoid just spins with out kicking out to flywheel. change solinoid or get another starter. have a good day !

Starter motor spins, but does not engage

1. Check the starter motor for a seized or binding pinion gear.
2. Remove the flywheel inspection plate and check for a damaged ring gear.

It sounds like the solenoid on the starter. The starter is mounted on the back of the engine, underneath the intake manifold. It is a bit tough to get to. I would check your cables, battery and starter cable connections for looseness or corrosion.

If you can hear it spin(starter), but not actually hear the motor turning over or trying to crank/start..... Sounds like starter not engaging-Replace starter. Small possibility flywheel is damaged, but less likely.

sounds as if the starter is going bad or the remote sensor is not understanding the vehicle has started but if you are trying to locate the starter simply follow the battery red or + positive cable down to the starter itself always located at the bell housing between the motor and the transmission

the starter is near the engine engage in the flywheel and if there is auto zone near you they can print you out a diagram for free and if there is a library need you you can get all of the information you need to repair your car these are a something i would check the alternator drive belt and the safety switch on the top of the clutch

lock the car using the key to reset the alarm

I had the same problem with a 97 sc2. The fix for my car was the temp sensor that controls the extra fuel when engine is cold it didn't sense that the engine was warmed up and added extra fuel flooding the engine.
