if not camshaft tune up or head gasket seal or fuel pump one way to ex out head gasket is to look at spark plug and make sure its no oil present on the plug if so DEFINETLY THE HEAD GASKET SEAL. CAMSHAFT PRETTY CHEAP AFTER TUNE UP OIL CHANGE TRY THE CAM SHAFT SENSOR IF YOUR IN THE CINCY AREA TRY SMYTHS PARTS VERY CHEAP,LKQ AND CARTHAGE AUTO

Hello everyone. I have a 2009 Saturn Aura XE ( 2.4 liter, 4 cylinder) and I recently changed both camshaft sensors and the crankshaft sensor in the car. The camshaft sensors are very easy to find, they are on the right side of the engine right on top. One is in the front and the other is in the back. The crankshaft sensor on the other hand is a pain in the A** to find. You have to lift the car up to get underneath it. Then remove the vacuum so you can get to the starter. Then remove the starter (there's only 2 bolts holding the starter on but one of them is on the top of the darn thing so you'll need a socket with an extension. Push it up and wiggle it around until you feel it grab the bolt). Now that the starters out of the way you'll see the crankshaft sensor up there on the left. I hope that helps, I spent hours looking for it.
