Air conditioner stopped working today. I bought a canister of r-134a with a guage on it. When I hooked it up, the pressure was in the red zone. I emptied the system and brought the pressure back up in the system to around 40 psi. It took about an hour and the air was not cool again. A second...

As the summer approaches, the temps are up so my wife turned on her A/C over the weekend and it just blew hot air. Since this car was new, she's had to take it in to a Saturn dealer 4 times to address this issue. Each time they said they "fixed a leak and recharged it" and it works for the rest of...

The airbag indicator light stays lit on my 2000 Saturn LS1 when the temperature is below 20 degrees farenheit. Once the car has warmed up and I restart, the light does not stay lit. Any ideas or experience?

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...

How much fluid is used in the automatic transmission in a 2000 LS2? Also, does anyone know what the torque spec of the transmission pan bolts are? I've noticed that there are no service manuals for the L-series, only the S, i'm i missiing something, or is the correct? Thank you for your help.

My A/C Heater blower started working intermittently. Only the first 3 fan speeds now work. When it works the first 3 speeds work well. I was told it might be the resistor card so I just completed putting a new one in and the same problem exist. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Robert.

We have a 2000 LS2 with the 3.0 Litre SAAB V6 engine. The SES light is on most of the time. The Service Wrench comes on occassionally. The codes indicate lean fuel mixture on both banks and random misfires. The computer can't identify which cylinders are misfiring. (Not enough misfire on any...

What are my options for upgrading the sound from the stock system?

I have a 2000 LS2 which I have just installed a new fuel pump and fuel filter. Now the car is very hard to get started and keep running until it warms up. Once it gets to operating temperature it seems to run okay. I have 45 p.s.i. of fuel pressure now instead of the 32 with the old fuel pump. ...

I recently have been have problems with my car starting. It will start when the car is cold but after drive for awhile it will not start after i turn it off. I'm not sure what the problem is but my service engine soon light comes on. The next moring when the car starts the service light is not on....

I decided to start this thread anew since the previous one sort of got hi-jacked. My local (non-Saturn) mechanic just gave up on this. My 2000 LS2, with like 260,000 miles, has been acting oddly in the automatic transmission category. Symptoms are sort of steady. I drive to work 50 miles each way...

Anyone know where exactly the IAT sensor is on this 3.0 L V6 Eurotrash? I've looked all over the intake area, can't find it. The sensor is small, has a two-wire plug. Already replaced MAF / MAS with $89 Cardone refurb via NAPA. Yes, NAPA can get them IF you get the Bosch number off the unit and...

makes noise in D and R, not a constant but more often than not. Noise follows pitch of engine RPM. Grandpa bought this for my daughter two weeks ago. seller gave him a month to bring back if something major happened. Possible tranny?,or power steering pump? Any advice would be greatly appreciated....

Hey everybody. I've seen talk on here in the archives about changing the fuel filter, but nobody has mentioned where to get one. I have been to several stores, only to be told that the fuel filter is only dealer serviceable. What gives? Any direction would be appreciated!

2000 Saturn Wagon SW2, car has 170K on it, engine replaced at 50k so a little newer, stick, basic model (no cruise etc). Car is new to me but used. Prepurchase inspection by 2 different mechanics turned up a similar list of small problems but nothing with the fuel system. Problem seems to be in...

I have all of the new parts to put my ac back together...condenser, evaporator, new cooling fan, however, I am not sure about taking the rubber plugs out of the evap., and the condenser. Once air gets into them, will they go bad, do I have to do it quickly, do I have a little bit of grey area here....

Anyone know where exactly the IAT sensor is on this 3.0 L V6 (comes from Saab) engine? I've looked all over the intake area, can't find it. The sensor is small, has a two-wire plug. DTC error indicated a bad IAT, P0113 "IAT sensor 1 circuit high input". TIA

I have an a/c in which the compressor does not kick in. It spins so I know its not seized. It is full of refridgerant, at least it wouldn't take anymore when I attempted to add some. Any ideas on what it may be and how to diagnose it?

My Saturn engine dies more and more often. It happened starting around one year ago when I waited for a traffic light. I had to restart it. And then, the engine dies more and more often. Usually, it happened when I made a turn and waited for a traffic light. These days, even during driving...
