Go on eBay and buy yourself a complete timing chain kit. this includes everything you will want to replace when you pull off the timing chain cover, including the water pump. while you are there, get yourself a 5 dollar saturn S series repair manual on CD. on a car that old, time to replace the timing chain as well. this is not something you are going to do in an hour with a hammer and set of pliers, if you are not mechanically adept with a good set of tools you may want to call around and get some labor prices.

SOURCE: 1992 Saturn SC Fuel Pump Problem

You need to get the schematic / wiring diagram . There is a junction block in the center console where the wiring is routed to the entire car. The contact on the power wire to the pump gets burned /dirty and becomes intermittant . It needs to be cleaned .This happened to me twice.

Well if there is not a puddle of antifreeze underneath where it is most often parked, then I would suspect you have a head gasket or cracked block/head problem. If there is a puddle of antifreeze under the car, or under the passenger side carpet, then you can easily track the leak back to its source. I assume your shop did some basic checks for oil in antifreeze and vice versa and for an odor of antifreeze in the exhaust?

Just Replaced the Water Pump....Still wont start??? If my Water Pump goes out while driving and I attempt to start the car several times, does this cause valve damage or any kind of damage?

Pulling plug wirs is a big mistake unless you know what your doing and you don't sound like you do. It sound like a frost plug is corroded away. You should be able to start your engine even if it had no coolant at al. the coolant only cools the engine ,it does not stop it from running.Now you need a wiring diagram for your engine to see if you have the wires in the right place.......otherwise the engine will not start ever.Worse case ....it could be a head gasket and if that is the case give it to someone whom wants a free car to work on themselves...............Ken

My Saturn did not pass emissions inspection -the code is p0410 what do I need to do

The P0410 code refers to the emissions system. The AIR pump puts air to the exhaust to lower emissions. It takes in outside air and pumps it through two one-way check valves into each bank of the exhaust.

About 90% of the time that this code is set, the one-way check valves have worn out or failed and allow water (which occurs naturally in the exhaust) back into the pump. In any cold climate, especially in climates with higher humidity, this water may be more excessive. The water partially fills the AIR pump, it can then freeze. When the PCM commands the pump on, if the pump is frozen it cannot turn, thus overloading the circuit and "popping" the fuse.
