1992 Saturn SL2 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

I had this same problem and put a switch inside the car to turn on the relay remotely. But I believe it is the connection at the temperature sensor near the top of the transmission. My wires were stretched at this sensor from the factory. I have not tried to replace it rework it but if you used an ohm meter you could determine if the wires and or sensor have continuity. This is not the same sensor that runs the temperature gauge in the dash.

Part probably about $150. Labor about the same, $300. I'd try several competent repair shops for better estimates.

check the fuse box

A Few dallars at your local parts store. You might need some fittings which they should have as well.

Then you need a wiring diagram of the entire vehicle, before you can do anything Before you can trace wiring, you have to study how the circuits work & come up with your test points

ask gm to do it read the FSM. login to alldata.com and read how.

I get my from advanceautoparts. I buy the Bosch ones, single wire. Make sure to put on anti-seize paste and some dielectric grease on the connector http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/bosch-premium-oxygen-sensor-13043/19370003-P?searchTerm=o2 Part No. 13043

if you just keep playing with it and it works sometimes it might be your starter if you remove it autozone or oreilleys will test it free but it sounds like your brushes are going bad let me know good luck, coopaloop

well first clean the area and find out what is exactly leaking. like make sure its not a valve cover gasket or ahead gasket. you can remove it and make sure it hasent got electrollisis and eaten away at the threads if it is the sensor itself i usually go to a pick and pull yard and grab one or two when u put it back on i recomend a tiny bit of teflon it will probably end up missing but it will also help keep it sealed that should cover just about every situation good luck, let me know how it goes coopaloop

My uncle was a Saturn tech for 15 years he always told me you don't really need it all it does is cycles some of the exhaust back through the engine to burn off a little excess fuel. My 92 sl2 had over 500 k miles and didn't have it from day 1

It may be the antitheft system. The security, antitheft or lock picture/icon is a visual indication that something in the car's antitheft system is failing. In most GM cars and trucks there is a hidden system that most people are unaware even exists. From the moment you put your key in the ignition, there begins a constant line of communication between your key's security chip or transponder, to the ignition's lock cylinder, and then to the car's TDM (Theft Deterrent Module). These 3 parts are in CONSTANT communication. If the key is in the ignition, then these parts are sending signals to each other. The security light illuminates when that signal gets broken, even just for a second. When the signal breaks, the car misinterprets this as an attempt at theft and goes into antitheft mode. The car thinks its being stolen or hotwired because it is not getting that signal from YOUR specific key. This is why the security light turns on and shuts down the fuel to your vehicle. This link explains it pretty well. http://vatspasslockpasskeysecurityhelp.yolasite.com/

i am putting back a newstarter on a 1992 saturn is the support bracket really needed to reinstall

Change the flasher module ,the silver one under dash .

Replace the spark wires.

Replace fuel pressure regulator . Use one can injector cleaner in fuel tank .

sounds like you need to carbarader

You don't every thing is controlled by the computer

Looks like a large muffler, in the exhaust pipe, near the engine.

I have a 2001 Saturn L200 and just had the same problem. Just finished smoking a cig before driving into work and my passenger side window would not go up and it was snowing!!!After checking this website I quickly found out that this a fairly common defect with the Saturn brand! Since the window switches are located in the middle counsel, they tend to dirty very easy, especially if you smoke, eat, or spill a drink in your car.Before you go too crazy and pull anything apart...the switch may just need a good cleaning!You will need a(n).....

1. large flat head screw driver (3/4" width)
2. very small flat head screw driver (1/8-1/4" width)
3. duct tape
4. Q-tips and toothpicks
5. cup of HOT soapy water
6. blow drier or compressor air blaster

Use some small strips of duct tape and cover both screw drivers with tape to protect against scratching the counsel and switch. There are two metal clips under the north and south positions of the perimeter of the switch. Take the small screwdriver and start at the top using small prying movements until you see some give. Take the large screwdriver and use it as a wedge. Continue carefully with the small prying movements and then follow up with the large screw driver all the way around the perimeter until the switch pops out. Now use the large screwdriver to disconnect the switch from the electrical plug....while in there....check for dust, dirt, and sticky residue from drinks.....clean as needed! Next, examine the switch to see that it is operating correctly. **My car had pop spilled on the switch and was causing it to remain stuck in the down operation of the window!** Disassemble the switch completely and you will see three pieces. Use the hot soapy water and q-tips and toothpicks to clean every piece good. Be careful to not use too much water on the circuit board you could cause permanent damage! Finally, use an air compressor to air blast each piece good until dry! At this point I was able to get the switch function properly again.All you should have to do now is work backwards and reassemble the switch into the counsel. Test the operation of your passenger window. If this does not work then you will need a new or replacement switch.Hope this helps! Good Luck!

There are 2 different engines for the 92 SL,they are 1992 Saturn SL 1.9L TBI SOHC 4cyl 1992 Saturn SL 1.9L MFI DOHC 4cyl Here's a link to the blower motor resister,it's located next to the blower motor,2 screws hold it on.
