The PCM is not the problem in 98% of driveability (engine and transmission operation) related problems. So the answer is likely it will not fix the problem, whatever that may be, you never give a clue...

SOURCE: WANT TO PUT A 1996 LS -1 SATURN, MANUAL

There isn't much difference between them. The SL series didn't change between 95 and 96 except for the ecm is OBD2 on the 96. Are both cars stick shift? The difference in the SL1 and the SL2 are the cams. 1 for sohc and 2 for dohc. So what you are asking is can I take out my dohc motor and install a sohc motor right?

If you look up behind your motor you will need a mirror, but behind your starter, you will see a connector with a 10mm bolt holding it in place. This should be the camshaft sensor that you don't think you have.

Saturn ls 2000 with v6 engine 26000 miles stalls when driven 3hrs. In 96 weather and idles unstable with air conditioner on it runs Iike it is to hot but temp gauge reads below halfway mark .

try unplugging map sencer, it should be on top side of engine, a black plastic box about 2 inches wide and 3 1/2 inches long, or throttle position sencer could be bad causing engine to idle from high to low. Hope this is some help 2 you.

I have a 96 saturn sl it was driving fine for two months with a little grinding going into first and second gear. I went out this mourning and started moving going over a speed bump I pushed the cluth in I...

take the console out and look under the shifter, if the shifter cables are disconnected from the shifter go to a parts store or ebay and get yourself a Saturn shifter bushing repair kit. happens all the time to S Saturns and maybe the Ls look on youtube for instructions to remove console and put on the bushing kit.

if the shifter cables are still connected you may have to be looking around for a lower mileage used transmission. 96-98 saturn will fit so long as the donor car has the same head, being DOHC or SOHC. so if you have an SL1 you can use a transmission out of another SL1, or an SC1, or an SW1. do not mix a 2 with a 1, bad mojo.

The ignition timing is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). No adjustment is necessary or possible.
