Replace spark plug wires 1996 saturn sl series

The 4 cylinder engine in your 1996 Saturn SL doesn't use a cam sensor. I know, then how could there be a code for the cam sensor? Well, The electronic ignition (EI) module supplies a signal to the PCM whenever it determines that the #4 cylinder fired on its compression stroke.

You should start by checking to make sure your spark plug wire terminals on the ignition coils are not corroded. Using a multimeter, check the resistance and continuity of each ignition wire. If your car is misfiring, replace your spark plug wires and have the code cleared at your local AutoZone or Advance Auto, unless you have a code scanner.

If the code comes back, most likely you have a bad crankshaft position sensor throwing the code. While the engine is running there should be a +5 volts on the crank sensor everytime the magnetic pickup reads the crankshaft. Using a multimeter you can check the voltage to see if the sensor is functioning properly.

Check this 1999 Saturn SL 1.9 liter DOHC VIN "8"



Hope this helps (remember to rate this answer).

Take a spay bottle and put water in it and start engine and while engine is running spray water around spark plug wires and see if the engine wants to cut out. If it does, replace wire and possibly plug since it will now be bad also.

If it is a vacuum hose, the vehicle will idle fast. Take a spray bottle and put some water in it and while the engine is running spray it around the spark plug wires. If it gets worse around a particular wire, replace that wire, better yet replace all of them and put in new plugs, but get the plugs from Saturn garage, the wires will be ok from Advance or wherever, but not the plugs.

replce the valave cover gasket. while you are ther replace the spark plugs and wires, use QUALITY spark plugs and wires ,NOT FROM AZ and NOT any spark plug form BOSCH

It may be a spark plug or wire. If it is a wire, you can take a spray bottle; maybe an empty windex bottle will do and spray it on the wires with the engine running and see if there a change in engine rp ms. If there is pesto, all you have to do now is replace the wires and I would suggest the plugs also...but wait until the engine cools so you don't strip and threads on the head!!!

Use a spark tester and plug it into the wire and plug...turn engine over and see if there is any spark. If there is take ether and spray it into the air intake and see if it will start...after all of that if no start let us know what you have done, and ask again.

looking at the motor follow the plug wires down to the coil pack located lower middle of engine.take wires of making note were they are posistioned unplug electrical connection should be 3 bolts 10mm. heads.then remove
