It's a four door station wagon 1.9 liter I4 SFI engine, SW2. Engine service soon light comes on every month, or so. Local Garage unhooks the battery, reseting the code, & tells me my gas cap was loose. It stays off for another month, then comes on again. Also, right after starting to drive the car,...

My '98 Saturn sometimes won't shift out of park. The shift lever will not move even with the button pushed. Eventually it will suddenly move easily. What could be the issue? -- coachdon Message Origin: TRAVEL.com

I just got home from work and while driving my 1998 SC1 at a stop light the engine suddenly started to rev, despite the clutch being fully depressed, and my foot on the brake. It got up to about 3000rpm, then gradually settled back down to around 2000rpm. Now, when I come to a stop and put in the...

I have a 1998 sl1 vin code "8" The ses light is on and I need to get it off so it will pass ny state inspection. The light will come on and off. Off in cooler weather and comes on after the car has gotten hot after a while. I have got the codes that are tripping it, they are P0706 and ...

I would like to find out what to do about my car, but I'm stumped. I have a 1998 Saturn SL1, reliability is key in my car decisions. Three weeks ago I got into my car and the clock was way off and all my radio presets were gone. The clock read 1:17 when it was about 10am. It appeared that my...

I bought my 98 SL2 less than a year ago from a local used car dealer here in WV. It had 119,000 miles on it, and drove very smooth. I THOUGHT I did my homework. I did a CarFax report on it, came up perfectly clean. I took it to a good mechanic BEFORE I bought it who told me it was in excellent...

My engine has developed a 'whirring' noise when I press on the gas pedal. It increases in volume the faster I go until I hit about 60km/h (next gear up) and then it fades quite a bit. Anyone have any idea what may be causing this? Thanx, Toastee

We have a 1998 SL2 with 105,000 miles. We put snow tires on it last fall for our kid's year at college. Now it's back and has summer tires on it. But now it sounds like there are coarse tread tires, it rumbles, with pitch going up as speed goes up. Any ideas? It is loud enough to need earplugs...

I have a 1998 SL2 with Automatic transmission. When the car is cold, the shifter can not be moved out of park...but after about 2 to 5 minutes with the engine running (warming up) the shifter moves fine and easily engages in the gear settings. No other problems or noises. What's up with it? How...

Got a bit of weirdness going on. The transmission has always been a bit slow when kicking into reverse. If the car has just been started or has been idling for a bit it'll take a quick second to kick in, but not a delay I would call out of the ordinary for changing gears. After it has been...

We have a 1998 SL2 with 105K miles. Recently it started hesitating when stepping on the gas pedal quickly. When idling it wants to stall. When moving along and stepping on the pedal it stutters for a moment. SES light is off. Engine runs cold (thermostat replacement as soon as it's warm enough...

Ok, to be as precise as possible, Im going to list the entire chain of events in detail, so get ready, this is a little long... March 16th - I had my starter replaced with a remanufactured starter at a local Pep Boys after having to push-start it a few times recently. I knew it was going bad, so...

1998 sl2 stalls when i come to a stop, but drives fine down the road. once stalled it restarts okay in park or neutral but as soon as i put it in drive the car shakes violently and stalls. i have to rev up the motor and slam it into drive to get it to go, but it seems to be bogging out until i...

Looking for a bit of help. I have a 1998 SW2 that I have had since new. It has about 125,000 miles on it and still going strong. Just recently it started developing a occasional 'bangy' clunk when turning. I was thinking CV joint but I think that would be more than one clunk (it would be...

Hey folks, Anyone have any experience with a clutch failure on a Gen 2 S series? Mine has finally started to go and I'm going to have it done. Pricey job, but it's out of my league to try it myself. I'm just wondering if anyone has any idea how fast they go completely once you start to notice...

What are the odds of putting a 1999 auto engine in a 1998 SL2 stick shift?

High Idle- Someone mentioned replacing the CTS, what is that? I was unable to find it in my book. Thanks

I have a 1999 saturn ls2 and my rear power windows don't work anymore. Does anyone have any rear door diagrams of the interior view. Thanks

I just had to have the manual transmission replaced on my 1999 SC2 due to a bolt breaking inside the transmission while I was travelling and basically goreing it from the inside. They did the clutch as well since they said it was pretty worn (98K miles). Now I have to press the clutch all the way...
