I put diesel instead of gasoline in my 2007 Toyota corolla 2007 ce & code p0420 came up

Not a big deal...You will need to drain the tank if there is more than 10% the total volume of diesel. If not, fill the tank with 90 to 92 octane and go ahead and run it. It will not have the same power and will probably smoke some but actually the diesel will help clean up the system some and definitly lube the parts. Its better to run a longer time with engine warmed up rather than short trips as diesel burns better hot. As you use the full tank, continue to "top off" to increase performance back to normal. If you have to drain the tank, just follow same procedure. Um green is for diesel...haha gotta give you a little ribbing.

The moon roof on my 1996 saturn sl2 not working

I have the same car and had the same problem, when you pull down the head liner you will find the motor for the moon roof. i disconnected the motor so that i could analyze it. i found that the gears in the moon roof motor are made of plastic and most of the gear teeth were chewed off. i disconnected the wireing harness from the motor and left it unplugged, i then pushed the moon roof back into position and tightened the screws to the moon roof. That is the way i left it for the past 2 years, because i was not about to spend the money t fix the motor.

Resetting my 1996 Saturn SL2 key fob doesn't work,

I solved the problem by cleaning all the contacts with nail polish remover and then stuck small bits of aluminum duct tape to the bottom of the buttons (contacts). Everything works great, but I am not confident about the adhesion between the tape and the rubber. Good for now.

Whers is the starter on a 1996 saturn sl

Just is one way to replace. Review this:

1996 Saturn SL 1.9L MFI SOHC 4cyl

1fe174c.jpg

If the starter is to be replaced, remove the bracket from the old starter

REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
  1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  2. Raise and support the vehicle safely.
  3. If equipped, remove the starter shield pin by pulling on it with pliers, then lift and release the shield from the solenoid.
  4. Spray the solenoid electrical connection nuts and studs with penetrating oil, and allow it to seep in for a minute to loosen the connections. While the oil is soaking in, tag the solenoid electrical connectors for identification during assembly.
It is very important that the solenoid electrical connection nuts and studs are sprayed with penetrating oil prior to removal to avoid damage to the solenoid end cap. A cracked cap will allow debris and moisture to enter and corrode the solenoid contacts.
  1. Carefully loosen the bolts and detach the starter electrical connectors. Position the wires to the side and out of the way.
  2. Remove the lower starter mounting bolt.
  3. Using an obstruction wrench, remove the upper starter mounting bolt. If the upper starter mounting bolt cannot be reached from below the vehicle, it may be accessible from above, through the intake manifold support bracket opening.
  4. If equipped, remove the bolt attaching the starter rear support bracket to the vehicle. Rotate the starter until the bracket misses the axle shaft support bracket.
  5. Carefully support the starter, pulling it rearward and toward the left side of the vehicle to remove it.
To install:
  1. If equipped on the old starter, install the rear starter support bracket to the new starter. Tighten the bracket nuts to 7 ft. lbs. (9 Nm).
  2. Guide the starter into the bell housing and rotate the assembly until the lower bolt hole in the starter aligns.
  3. Verify that the bracket is properly aligned and loosely install the bracket bolt, then loosely install the starter mounting bolts. It may be necessary to raise or lower the vehicle for access to both the upper and lower bolts, but do not tighten any bolts until all of the mounting bolts have been started.
  4. Tighten both upper and lower starter assembly attachment bolts to 27 ft. lbs. (37 Nm).
  5. Reconnect the electrical wires and install the nuts. Be careful not to overtighten the nuts and crack the solenoid end cap. Route the wiring cable so it will not contact any rough surfaces. Tighten the starter positive terminal nut to 89 inch lbs. (10 Nm) and the solenoid terminal nut to 44 inch lbs. (5 Nm).
  6. If equipped, install the starter shield and push pin, being careful that the pin is positioned for possible future removal.
  7. Lower the vehicle.
  8. Connect the negative battery cable and verify operation.
