I'm looking to get rid of my fairy unreliable 94 Pontiac Trans Sport. I want something smaller and (much) more fuel efficient and best of all made of polymer, which is about the only feature I still enjoy about my van. I have my eyes set on a 2001 Saturn SC1 with 5 speed and approx. 70,000 km (or...

97 SL2 What driving conditions have to be met to complete all the system readiness tests? While I was out of town over New Years, my girlfriend ran the car out of gas (bad!) She put a couple gallons in, limped home, and it wouldn't start the next day. I bought a Chilton book, replaced the fuel...

checked tps, good checked cts. good i know it has a vacuum leak somewhere but that shouldnt be the issue here i dont think. sometimes it doesn't run rough at all during startup, but most of the time i cant put it in gear without it dying, runs fine once its warmed up. i think it could be...

I wonder if any other VUE owners are having a problem with the windshield washer spray nozzles blowing out. I've had my VUE back 4 times now to have nozzles replaced. I asked if Saturn is addressing the problem and the manager told me no, but that they would replace it under warranty, until...

Hi I have what seems to be the characteristic high idle problem with some Saturns, but I would like some further advice. This is a 2000 SL1, 1.9L four door, 175,000 miles. The RPMs seem to go up unpredictably. Usualy hover around 1500-2000, but sometimes higher. And now, I'm starting to wonder if...

the first thing i have to say about the linkage design saturn came up with is that it sux. i have done hours upon hours of work trying to get the trany in my 92 SL to work right, it is usless. i am very familiar with the assembly of the shifting mechanism on the car so anyone, that is anyone who...

Hi I have a 2000 Saturn SL with a high idle problem and a constantly lit 'check engine light'. It only does the high idle intermitantly, when the engine is warmed up. Sitting at a stop light, while in neutral, the RPM may shoot up to 2000+. It will idle correctly, at around 800 RPM or so, after...

I just bought a 2002 SC1 with 5 speed and only 28k miles. Pretty happy with the car, the only problem is that ocassionally I have trouble starting it when the engine is cold. All I get is a click. That happens 4-5 times, and then it finally starts. It doesn't happen all the time. I took it to the...

My rear tail light just quit and the dealer told me I need to replace the whole assembly. Priced at $111, I told him forget it. He did mention that there's a circuit board on each tail light, and mine has failed. If so, could someone tell me if it's worth trying to fix. I can get a used assembly on...

I have heard a lot of people have the same problem as me. It seems there is not enough air getting to the raditor at first. Then I realized that the temp gauge goes up to 3/4 at regular intervals then the fan kicks on and drops it to 1/4 in a matter of minutes. The process then repeats. I think...

Hello all! I brought my Saturn to Germany with me and I'm about at 65,000 miles so I figured its time to change my plugs and wires. Problem is, no auto stores here have parts for Saturns. I decided to go to Advance Autoparts website and see what they are charging. Well, I had always thought that...

I have a 2000 Saturn L series, and lately it seems like it is having one problem after another. Perhaps they are all related, but I am at a loss. First, the tail light went out. I replaced the entire kit, only to have the break portion go out again within six months. The Cd player works,...

Just curious to see how far any of you have gone before the change oil light has come on. I'm at 5,800 miles now...

Hi everyone, I recently was looking at a Saturn SC2 and the dealer told me that in his opinion the 1.9 DOHC is more reliable. Is that true? I know in the history of GM, most of their DOHC engines are crap so I was wondering if he was just telling me that to get me to buy the car. For...

My blower recently went on the blink. Sometimes it blows, sometimes it doesn't. Often, when I accellerate, it kicks on. Now that doesn't even seem to be the case. This leads me to think that there may be a loose connection. I check the 20 HVAC fuse and it was fine. There is a fuse block, but...

Looking at buying a replacement engine at 6thplanetusedparts.com for a '96 SL2 with coolant in the oil....siezed engine. Prices and warranty seem reasonable. The folks there seem great to work with. Any recommendations? Horror stories? Thanks.

So what does everyone think of the new Sky? Everything, in my opinion is right. The designs of both the interior and exterior are perfect. I hoping that Saturn will also incorporate HomeLink, MP3 capability and a few colors that would be appreciated by us girls. I'd really like to see a hot pink...

>From a relative novice: I was replacing the coolant temperature sensor (we don't have a Saturn dealer in town, so I picked one up from Autozone -- about $9, brass construction) in my '98 SL2 this morning. I was warned not to overtighten it, so I tried not to crank it down too hard. But when I...
