Re: Broken belt story...
A broken or missing belt will act the same as an alternator that has quit charging. The compressor obviously is not turning also. Just low voltage related problems, the ignition system is designed to...

Re: Broken belt story...
The belt on a L200 only drives the alternator and air conditioning compressor. The water pump is chain driven and the power steering pump is driven by the intake camshaft. FYI

Re: 02 Ion 2.2 crankshaft relearn?
You show a 2007 Ion 2 in your Signature. 2000-2006 L61 2.2 liter 4 cylinders take a different crank sensor than the 2007+ engines. Which car are you working on? The first picture is the early sensor....

Re: Ion 3 quad coupe trans.
So you are really looking for a good transmission instead of what you have now. 5 -speed swap or 4t40e. All the headaches that go with a swap if you are not a car guy.

Re: Catalytic Convertor
An LW2 is a v-6 car. The icm on the four cylinder is there to learn where #1 is by coil load so the pcm can sequence the injectors. No cam sensor on the early 2.2s it is synthesized by the icm.

Re: EGR port or not; Does it matter ?
Keep all your old parts until the swap is complete. The ignition coil pack is a known part to fail. I have had no problems using automatic engines in manual cars and vise versa.

Re: EGR port or not; Does it matter ?
The 2003 engine I removed from a wrecked car works fine in my 2002. I cannot say for sure that what you have found will plug and play. What does the engine supplier say?

Re: EGR port or not; Does it matter ?
All of the 4 cylinder L series I have owned have had an egr port with a block off plate. I have an 02 Olds Alero engine and trans in my 2000 Ls1. Strip it to a long block and use all the Saturn stuff.
