I'm getting an intermittant check engine light and would like advice on figuring out what it means. Is there an inexpensive tool that will read the code? A list of code available on the web? The car is running fine.

Hello everyone. I found this newsgroup and hope that others can help. I saw that some others have had similar type problems so I attempted to fix most of those that I could. I have a 1993 Saturn SL-1 (manual transmission) with just under 165k miles on it. It's been a very reliable car, until...

I;ve been trying to locate the EGR on my 94 SL1 (SOHC - 1.9 with TBI) Any ideas - once again the Haynes manual has failed me by only showing the twin cam! Chris

I have a 1994 SL1, when I'm cruising down the road - foot at one spot on the pedal (say holding 30 mph) the car surges almost like it's getting fuel then not. When I've got the pedal down and accelerating hard, it's no problem. Have replaced the spark plugs, spark plug leads, fuel filter, PCV...

When I depress the brake over and over, when coming to a complete stop, when I turn the steering wheel, when I use my electric window switches. All of these things will make my idle drop and it seems to have just started this like over nite. Can anyone help me out or give me any ideas that mite...

I just bought a 1995 Saturn SL1 which doesn't have the owners manual with it. I was wondering what the fuel tank capacity was. The gauge was just above empty and it only took 10 gallons to fill to the top. I'm guessing 14 - 16 gallons ???? Thanks Brian Brian.......... Kill filters - The Enema...
